Hej!
Better late than never! =) Here goes my 2nd post ever:
9 months have past, hoping that a new future will be born.
One year can seem a long time, but it can also feel quite short. One year doing EVS is probably more the last case, one year living in the country one longed for and working at a dream-place is doubtlessly the last case.
My year in Sweden has been wonderfully filled of dreams coming true, beautiful people, deep dives into Swedish culture and land, challenging experiences, border-crossing adventures… A lot of new knowledge, intellectual growth, updated self-awareness.
I feel so extremely thankful and glad for what I achieved and experienced until now, and I intensely wish to savour the last coming months as well. Simultaneously, also the future asks for some of my attention showing itself accompanied with a question mark. But of course time will make it become an exclamation one. The time is now and here!
October, Växjö: The autumn natural landscape is impressive with its amazing colours. Never thought there were so many different tones of yellow, orange, red… It is a privilege to be able to contemplate from close the nature around me changing each day. And to pick delicious fruit directly from the trees in my garden. The work at Palladium goes on being interesting and diversified and it definitely feels good to see the projects I started developing sucessfully. Continue to think that Swedish is a beautiful and fun language and feel honoured to be able to use it each day better. Feel like I fit well in this small, dynamic and calm city and its lakes and forests still take my breath away…
