I'm doing 41 things
The other day something funny happened to me; ive been lately not taking much care my appearance as im dead tired from work, but still i joined a friend and her friends for dinner to celebrate her birthday. In there i met new people, all very nice…at some point we moved on to a coffee place. One of the girls in the group was soooo pretty, i was so amazed and even thought, wow, how would i feel if i´d look like her…she had turquoise hair and her face was like a doll, so beautiful. Anyway, to start the conversation i just said that i liked her hair so much (it´s my favourite colour) and then without hesitation, this girl who i cosidered almost like a model answered to me: “And I think you are so pretty” :O yes, my jaw fell off and it took me a moment to react to that; im not used to people telling me this kind of things…but it cheered me up so much and made me feel quite good for a few days. I need to start believing in myself a bit more; i don´t need to be a model or anything i can just be myself as im unique, am i??;)) Of course on those days when im not feeling well (too tired, too stressed…) a little bit of make up maybe would make me feel a bit better…
Anyways, a cheer for the turquoise hair girl!! :D

How I did it: I got bored of waiting (i´ve been wanting to take classes since in was 7) , and decided that the time was "now", literally. I have time, i can pay it and i don´t want to wait. it was hard because it´s always hard to start something new specially as an adult but after the first day (that wasn´t nice, i have to say, didn´t find the changing room and got lost on the way) it´s just getting better and better.

How I did it: I discovered this project long time ago, 3 or 4 years ago and it remained in my memory for long till last summer when i decided that i had to do something different. So i organized it more or less and went up to Norway to a farm in the middle of nowhere. The enviroment was great and the work was fine, i had plently of free time after work to do other activities as cannoeing and hiking. I met very nice people there too although not all of … Read how I did it…
Spring is coming in North of Europe and people will start slowly taking their bikes (well, some have already been biking during the winter!) out and not paying the bus ticket anymore…lets see if im capable of make a move this year and buy a bike before autumn strikes again…im just so scared of it, i can bike but don´t know how to do it on a road with other bikers near by and people crossing and cars and ….argh!im sure i´ll fall right away :/(/
fell in love with the wrong person totally unespectedly and out of the blue…and is somebody who will never ever be able to correspond me, and i know…but still can´t take that person out of my mind. This is kind of sick, it doesn´t take me anywhere, just to feel bad…
