Surprise, surprise

During the week I've been surprised many times, not only positively but also negatively. I just realized how many times we might get surprised in a week or even during a single day without paying much attention to it. Just a quick thought going through your brains passing on the message of your amazement and then returning to your normal thoughts again.

Dreams

The past week, I've been having a lot of dreams, which I seem to remember well in the mornings. Weird dreams, and I like to wonder where they all came from. I think I have ever had so many dreams during a week and I could remember all of them. All my dreams have been about different situations, none of them continued the next night (happens sometimes).

1. I was in some kind of adventure and we had to jump on to a moving train, after that, my best friend dropped just in front of the moving train and died.
2. I was with other students in a chemistry lab and getting late for my math class and apologizing my math teacher in Swedish (really saying the sentence "I'm sorry that I'm late" in Swedish, in my dream!)
3. I was trying to run away from a fat boy who had an orange t-shirt on, but he got me and suggested that it could be a tie, there would be no winner, I felt like a loser (Why did I give up?)
4. My parents had told me to take my sister to her friends house, who lived somewhere a bit further. I told my sister that they shouldn't go there to have a party, instead of complaining, she told me to start drinking alcohol and invited me to party with them. I just told her that I couldn't drink any alcohol if I was going to drive. Suddenly we were at some bus stop in the middle of nowhere. We were lost.
5. I was going to our sauna with my aunts, but when I got there, something was wrong. It was a dangerous place.
6. I was in a room with 3 of my friends. We were trying to sleep, but me and my other friend couldn't. We decided to go somewhere else. We were walking on a hallway in a hospital.

I was really surprised about all these dreams, they weren't that pleasant. I would actually rather call them nightmares, now, when I have actually really thought more about them. Every morning I woke up, with a distracting feeling.

Photos

These photos were sent by a friend, who wanted to prove that he can cook. I couldn't do anything else but smile. A huge, wide smile. These photos made my day :)











Beggar

4 pm, me and my sister are waiting for my mom to come home from the grocery store. The doorbell rings. My sister doesn't move, me neither. The door opens. Someone knocks on the next door. I get up and run downstairs. I see a man standing in front of the door, in side our house. I was frightened, and because of that I jumped nearly a meter up from the ground. The man was trying to calm me down. He had a note saying that he was selling wooden objects, and asking if I wanted to buy them. I turned my head saying 'no'. He turned the piece of paper over and made me read the other side of the note, which asked if I could give him 2-3 euros even though I didn't want to buy anything. I still felt so frightened that I turned my head again saying 'no', again. The man left. I felt sad for him. I feel sad if someone really has to beg and doesn't have enough money for living. I knew I had some coins upstairs, but I didn't like the fact that the man just came in to our house, without waiting that someone would come and open the door. Not a nice surprise.

You never know what comes up in your life. So be prepared for everything. Learn about yourself through the emotions you go through.

The best day of my life

Me, my mom and my sister were walking down a street in the city Los Cristianos in the Canary Islands and I saw a man wearing a pink sweatshirt which had the text 'The best day of my life' printed on it. The man didn't look really happy, he was carrying a toy car and looking like he really would like to do something else than walk around the city carrying it. Was it really the best day of his life?

I started to think about those six simple words, which are really easy to say, but to mean them literally, that's harder. I'd like to live my life with every day being perfect, being the best days of my life. Will the perfection of the days make them the best ones in my life? How would I describe a perfect day?

Today, I had a perfect day, a normal one. I could actually almost say that this day has been the best day of my life. I have started to do more sports. And I think that I feel more alive than ever. I'm happy almost all the time, I enjoy doing the things I do, I have more energy to use. The year 2012 started pretty well. I realized that I have a loving family, adorable friends, and life is going on smoothly. At the moment, I feel like nothing could be better. (Maybe there are things which could be better, though.)

For homework I had to prepare a short writing about two poems. The poems were about life and the question was how do the poet's describe life. I chose two of them, which described life in the same way. The main message was to live your life in this moment, you never know when you die, you just have to believe in yourself and you can make your life what you want it to be. You can get your names written in the stars and by your actions you can make your life worth living. You shouldn't wait for miracles to happen. Just open your eyes and let your eyes see what's in front of you.

Hearing the cliché "Live every day like it's your last" makes me just forget it in five seconds and not giving it a deeper thought. But the text on the man's sweatshirt and today's poems really made me think about that cliché. Enjoy the things you do, learn from your mistakes and be open for new adventures! Life will give you everything you're ready to absorb. Mind open.
