Sometimes I catch myself obsessing over the destination of a desire. I get so lost in pushing towards the destination that the journey turns into a blockage. Frustration builds and what is meant to be a beautiful experience crumbles. The question that caught me off guard was «what happens when I get there?» and I […]

A conservative journalist in a liberal world
A year ago I made a decision to start writing for Norways most controversial online newspaper. A paper that is accused of being racist, intolerant and all sort of phobic. There is no hold in this generalization. What it is, though, is a reflection of society. Our actions, our thoughts, the small and the big […]
The closet situation
It’s been a while. Again. Life happens so fast. Then so very slow. Before it picks up again. Never ending circle. Also I needed a break. A break from overindulging in my existence from an internal perspective. But then, suddenly, I feel like I’m back to where I was a year ago. Ok, that’s not […]
When life throws you shit
Long time no see, friends. What a journey it has been these past few months. Everything and nothing has happened. Still stagnant and yet I’ve come so far. It’s been quiet in here, but the reason for that is that I’ve had a more action based period, where the room for reflection has been limited. […]
A step towards happiness: Undo status
The first thing that comes to mind when I chew on the word value is: Something that is so meaningful that it is priceless. This might seem very odd, because if a thing is valuable we often connect that with a price-tag, which isn’t too off in a money-driven context. Though in this context value […]
The hysteria of coaching.
Are you one of those people who hungers for a meaningful existence, that dream of living your full potential? You read books, watch youtube and search for ways to live out or find your fulfillment, but get overwhelmed by the insanity of to-do lists, crazy calendars and hardcore rituals you get told to do on […]
Emotional flashbacks – what are they and how to discover them.
In my previous post I addressed emotional flashbacks without diving into what an emotional flashback is. I am addressing this subject today and hope that this will give you or someone you love a better understanding of self. The freedom that comes with recognition of emotional flashbacks is something every human on earth deserves and […]
Emotional flashbacks.
Self-development is hard work. It’s a journey that never ends, but most of all the journey requires some extra loops to navigate through deep waters. One of the most efficient things I have done for myself in self-development and depression-recovery is to travel alone. The vulnerability this puts me in and the heightened sound of […]
A journey comes to an end.
A two week journey is coming to an end. It has been a great, but intense one. This has been the longest amount of time I have spent on a journey alone, and that has made me very vulnerable and sensitive. 2019 has, as the extension of 2018, brought me a lot of stress and […]
How to take the first step in giving zero f**ks about what other people think about you.
I used to judge people, on a high scale. I had an automatic judgemental thought system. And I was scared to death of people judging me. That is the ugly truth. I had a way of thinking about people, my surroundings and myself that was utterly toxic. It broke me down on several occasions and kept […]
