4th of June was one of those days where you want to just forget about everything and enjoy the moment. It started with a phone call to my friend telling her I needed to return a dress that I had bought recently (there was a hole in my brand new dress, classy) she said she would join me in town and that we would plan something more when we meet up. Her boyfriend joined too (yay for being the third wheel) we ended up returning my dress and after that, I wanted to check out some cameras. I’ve had my Nikon camera for over 3 years now and I ended up buying something that I was never fond of. I spent a bit too much on it too which was a shame. So, I have been in the haunt for a new camera. It’s between two cameras atm. Either the Canon M3 or the Canon g7x Mark II. I want to fully test them both and read online before deciding. I don’t want to feel like I’m gonna regret my decision this time again. I will eventually get a DSLR camera too so I can film in better quality. I’m such a tech geek, It’s like candy to my eyes.

Anyways! We ended up going to two different stores, one was quite further out compared to the other one but it was alright. Then on the way back I told them that we should have a picnic! Well, we just bought some kebab and sat in a park, close enough still, no? After that I randomly suggested that we should go to the theme park and both of them said why not. We didn’t go on any rides because we ended up going there quite late in the evening. So, we ended up playing on the arcades (DDR ftw!) eat lots of yummy food, played some other games and took some photos. I will go there again just to ride everything and record it just for the fun of it! So you guys can see how it’s like at Liseberg. It’s one of my fav theme parks in the world.
Anyways, this all happened because of that ripped dress. Maybe it was meant to be after all.

I love these moments when nothing goes as planned that’s usually when the amazing happens.
Nowdays people like to say how much they don’t like surprises, they want everything planned. There is a certain security in knowing what’s gonna happen and I understand that but for me that’s not life. This is not living. And this is usually boring.
Maybe what I am going to say is utopic or idealist but for me life should be an adventure.
Like knowing where you want to go but not knowing the road that leads to it.
And when you accept that you can’t have control over everything, when you let go things that hurt you you can appreciate your journey even more.
Your story is actually a good example because nothing was going as planned but you chose to look it at the brighter side and change what was looking like an unproductive day into a memorable one.
That’s actually reminds me of one of my favorite poem (you have to know that I love poetry lol);
“If” by Rudyard Kipling:
“If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it.”
Love listening to this version narrated by John Hurt. (Sorry about the F1 photos lol)

I always listen to this when I’m not feeling good. This is a life lesson.
It never gets old.
