Why a blog?
Ever since I decided to log off my iPhone I have gained sum and lost sum. And dimsum.
Things gained:
Creativity. Ergo this blog. And heaps of fixed clothes, new ideas and a genuine appeal and thirst for creative work. All because boredom is becoming a more regular encounter. Which in turn has given me a new motivation and lust for life.
Things lost:
Contact with periphery friends. Some friends I still think of daily and wonder why we lost touch. Considering that my understanding of a friendship is that it definitely should span across more than an app. However, I do miss the occasional comments that people would leave behind on my posts from time to time.
Even though I am comfortable not posting on social media anymore, there is so much going on in my life and to be honest there is too much going on not to document it. For the laugh. For the sheer hilariousness found in all the events that accumulate at a suspicious and precise randomness in which it can only be described as God herself pulling a ginormous prank called life. I wish that my close family and friends can feel a little closer to me through these entries. And that I can remember and reflect upon the small moments. Consider this a digital album and diary. A blog.

Woke up with nothing planned this morning. It’s a monday and I’m off work on mondays and tuesdays. Opened my mail which has been locked for a week. The first mail that popped up was a queery from my advisor at Spark* NTNU. It was an invite to a guest lecture with Fabian Dittrich at Fram. I had no clue who that was. But I clicked the link to read what he was about and INSTANLY applied to go to the lecture. I’ll leave a link to his instagram so you can be curious about him yourself. I ended up choking when I was going to ask a question and cringed so hard that I ran out of the lecture when it was finished. But I really regret not going up to him afterwards and asking him some more questions. Anyway, Eivind says that I stress too much about how others percieve me. Which is probably also, unluckily, why I choked my question. The speak he gave was all about how one should always be open to new opportunities. Wherever they may be. Not only where opportunities are expected but also what strangers have to offer. He kept saying this. Strangers. “Important to keep talking to strangers”. Networking for a living. I think that’s what he does. Professional Networker. In a very real sense, that is his profession. He works with Whispr Flow AI. So to any bystander he’s a “tech”-guy. But he also drives a broken down mercedes through Africa. And broke the german free-diving record. He’s that guy. The hobo who made it. It was inspiring to say the least. First thing I did when I came back was to set up this blog again. Because what I got from his journey was that nothing happens if you don’t put something out into the world. And also, stickers. Seemingly his entire story started with stickers on toilets. I will do this too I think. https://www.instagram.com/thegobetween/

One of the first pictures I took on my new Mudita Kompakt phone. In a Damp sauna in Svankevigå, Stavanger when my little brother and Granny joined a sauna session in July. In fact it was Granny’s second time in a sauna.. EVER!
