It's time
For a new year!
2013 has been a very exciting and adventurous year for me. I started the year with a little holiday with my family in London which was very nice and when I came home I trained very hard as the auditions were waiting. First up was Oslo and then Stockholm, Tring (in London) and last Berlin. I was finished with all the auditions by the end of March and then there was time for performances with my school (now: my old school). I remember that it was a great time of the year and I really enjoyed it.
In April one day when I came home from school, a letter lay on the kitchen table. My mother looked at me and we both new what would say in that letter, if I was accepted to Berlin or not. When we had opened it, from the little german we could understand, we understood that I had made it through to the school. Since that day I was one of the luckiest people on earth.
In the middle of June I graduated from school. It was such an amazing feeling. I had just finished that 6 year chapter of my life and I was going to start a new one, in another country, in another school living a new life. At the same time I was very grateful for those years and it was a bit hard saying good-bye to everyone, especially my best teachers and friends.
The summer although, was one of the best. I met two of my best friends, Emanuel and Nour and had such a good time by the coast in Sweden. I also spent time with my other best friends and danced my days away.
Then came August, and on the 4th my mum and I took our bags and flew to Berlin. My biggest adventure so far, had begun! My mum left me alone after a couple of days and then I was away from my family for the longest time I had ever been, 2 months. In those months I started school, got to meet so many new people, made new friends, got a new ballet teacher, had to learn a new language and got to discover a new city. One of the best times in my life - seriously!
Then I went back for a week in september and it was nice to see everyone again, although my mind was back in Berlin and I just wanted to go back and continue my journey. Then came another two months of hard work and enjoying life. I must admit though, a few days have been very tough, but I guess that's normal and for everyone.
When Christmas arrived I was running around in cosy christmas markets and took the flight back home. I had an absolutely wonderful time at home and couldn't of celebrated anything in a better way. And that, my friends, was the end of twothousandandthirteen.
My thoughts about 2014 are pretty clear. Work my best, dance like I never done before and get to know more people and enjoy life to it's full capacity. No limits. Let the new year begin! I wish you all the best ♥

Mandela
Today in school we watched Invictus, the story of Nelson Mandela. He is one of the most inspiraring, intelligent and nicest human being who has lived on this earth. Here is a video with his words and thoughts, which I found very good!

the best feeling ever
3rd day back in Berlin and finally my homesickness has let go a bit. To leave your family and the first days after that, is seriously a really hard thing to do. But after a while it becomes a bit better. (luckily) I'm so happy to be back dancing as well, the best feeling ever!

So, after two weeks at home I took the flight home to Berlin today. It's been so nice to be home with my family and a few friends. It seems like time flies by so fast and you only get to do half of the things you wanted to do. But overall, I'm very pleased with this holiday and I've been doing lots of things! Hope you've also had a nice holiday and spent time with those who you like most ♥

goodbye my love
Today my cat Kiara moved. Her new home is with an older lady and I think she's going to be happy there, I hope so anyway. If you wonder why, it's because it's my cat (was) and since I'm no longer living at home, she needs someone to take care of her and my mum works too long in the days. SO we all decidid that it was better for her to find a new home.
I miss her like MAD already and I really didn't want this, because I love her and she is such a beautiful cat. But sometimes the best thing to do hurts, and you just have to think back and thank for the years and memories you have made.
I LOVE YOU KIARA. Forever.

Life is full of surprises!
Hi there,
now I'm finally home! When I arrived at the airport, my dad came as a clown and picked me up! We had decided to dress up for the day, but unfortunately stupid me, forgot to buy some makeup and clothing.. but it was so fun and I was really happy that my dad did it. :D I don't care what you think haha, that's me and my family! <3
Before I go home, back to Berlin, I have decided to surprise my dad as well.. wonder what I will be..?

HAPPY GAL
Today I am taking the flight home, can't believe it! It's been 74 days since I was home last, may sound little, but it feels pretty long. I'll update here when I arrive in Sweden, at home. It's going to be great to be home for a while.

about baking, lights and presents
This week is the last week of school (until Thursday), and then I go on holidays! On friday is my flight back home to Sweden.
So, since it's the last week, we don't really have normal schedule. Today I had german, kügym and ballet. After I went with my friend Andrea to Alexander platz to buy a really nice fruit bread we saw the other day, for lunch. It was really good. Really something for those how like dried fruit and nuts, (figs, raisins, apricots etc.) Then we looked around a bit in the shops and Andrea bought a jumper for christmas. When we were finished we took the tram back to his place and decided to make some cookies for Alessia (whom is home from school and sick). We took our cookies (baked oatmeal ones) and went home and had tea time with Alessia. So cosy! I also found some christmas lights to put up in our home, which made it even cosier.
This was over all my day. And now I'm almost finished with my christmas presents! How are you doing, have you found everything? :p

German Christmas
In school yesterday we had a christmas celebration with german cakes and card-making! It's a bit diffirent than swedish and english traditional food. "Stollen" is the most known christmas cake, I believe, and it's like a fruit cake, very heavy. I will bring some back to Sweden so my family can try. I think it's fun to try other traditions!

TBT - 2 years
First of all: SORRY FOR SOME UGLY EDITING AHAHA! This is a bunch of very old photos! (2-3 years old haha)
Just looked through my photo gallery here on my blog, and found all these photos! Oh my god. I'm just saying, time goes so fast! Two years ago, nearly three, I had no idea I was going to live in Berlin. I didn't know anything. What beautiful things life had to offer. I am amazed. You should do this kind of thing too! It's really fun, and also to see how much everything has changed, and also how much more you know and have done now.
And btw, today it's only 7 days left until I take the flight home. Aaagh, can't wait to hug my family and friends!

A little party never killed nobody
# more from the christmas party.
daily thoughts: I guess it's normal, but I feel I appreciate everything more and more for each day that goes. Just being able to do the thing I want. Having friends. Having my family. Being able to listen to beautiful music. And most of all, having life. Life is such a wonderful thing. But then again, it's what you make it to. And right now, I'm making it the best, so if you ain't happy, do something about it. And remember, 99% of the time you only regret the things you haven't done.

my own Advent Calendar
- Beautiful morning here in Berlin the other day. -
Hi guys, hope you're well. I'm still at home and I feel a bit better but I'm going to need at least one more day at home, unfortunately! I'm so looking forward to be back dancing soon!
Btw, on my tumblr I am doing a December challenge, which means I'm following a list which tells me each day what to put up a picture of, and of course the theme is round Christmas and Winter. Down below I'll link the posts I have done and I'll keep on doing it until new year, like an Advent Calendar. Hope you enjoy it!

♥ 2nd day → something I cherish
