Let things go
No sight of the light 22 months ago

I never ever thought this could be so difficult. Just putting something aside when it comes up. I know it will do me no good to dwell on it, but for some reason it lingers on anyway. It just drains me completely.

This might be the “thing” of a lifetime really. Might be the key to a lot of stuff that is in the way.



attend Fashion Week in N.Y.

This was a big deal at the time – but right now I can think of a thousand other things I’d rather do. So this one has to go.



Step out of my comfort zone (read all 5 entries…)
A task I don't want to finish 2 years ago

When am I ever going to click the “i’ve done this”-button on this one? Do I want to? Probably not.

I challenged myself into a new relationship successfully, and somehow it felt natural to take it on even if it definitely was outside my comfort zone. I think the term “comfort zone” helps me define what I normally do, and thus also what I should be doing. Constantly moving on and pushing myself into new situations.

I stood on stage the other day as well. Not news for me really, but the topic I spoke of was completely new and in all honesty I didn’t know much about it. Nor did I say I did – it was just my thoughts at the time. For the first time in a long while – people didn’t seem to like what I was saying. No comfort there, that’s for sure.

But these two things have stuck in my mind. The relationship is there all the time of course, but me actually taking it on. It’s special and interesting.

If the “i’ve done this”-button means I won’t be doing it again – I hope I never have to click it.
