I'm on a roll now so why not write more of these ;) gotta catch up!
My religion
When I was younger I was very confused about what I should do... should I believe in God or not? My parents are like most Swedish parents I guess. They haven't talked much about politics or religion with me or my sister, because they want us to form our own opinions. I've always thought that this is the best way to go and I will raise my own children in the same way. Nowadays I know that 'God' can mean a lot of different things. It doesn't necessarily have to be some old dude sitting on a cloud somewhere, it can also be something that represents hope and comfort. But when I was young I almost felt ashamed praying to God, because I felt stupid. So many people around me had told me that it was ridiculous to believe that there was a higher power. And personally I thought that the Big Bang theory made a lot of sense. It had proof, it had evidence, it was logical. But I was scared! I think most people on earth, no matter if they believe in God or not have gone through that period when they think "what if?".... What if we are wrong for believing in God?... What if we are wrong for not believing in God?.... What if there is life after death, will we be punished then?.... No that's ridiculous to believe.... or is it?
I think I decided my religious point of view when I was around 15-16 years old. Back then I didn't even know that my thoughts actually had a name. When people asked me what I believed in I just replied "Maybe God exists, maybe he doesn't. I don't know because I've never met God and I sure as hell wasn't around when the Big Bang came crashing through. All I know is that Big Bang sounds more likely then God. But then again, what do I know. Maybe I am wrong."
Well apparently this religious view has a name = Agnoticism. So I am a Agnostic. I called myself an Atheist for a long time because that was a person who doesn't believe in God. But even though I think the Big Bang sounds more likely, I am very open minded and don't rule anything out. I just don't like making statements and decisions about things that I have no clue about.

Favourite things
Well, except for the obvious things I use every day such as my cell phone, calendar and computer...
I'd say my favourite things are those with good memories behind them. I have SO many movies that brings back memories, framed pictures from parties and events, clothes that I have worn on special occations and so on. If I ever get rich then my favourite thing would never be the fancy car or the luxurious swimming pool, it would be the pictures I had on my wall. Because I never put up a picture unless it means the absolute world to me. I don't want to walk around in my home seeing things that I might not want to remember. Everyone in the picture may look freaking amazing, but if all that reminds me of is a bad night out... then what's the point...?

Friends
Well... friends come and go. Just like all the other people in your life, I just think friends sticks around longer because you have something to learn or gain from them. And you have something to give them back. Something that will change their lives completely or maybe "just" smaller things like opinions or choices.
Some of our friends stick around for our whole lives, which is a very long time. How is that even possible?
I think the reason is the same no matter how long or short-lived the friendship is. Just getting along with people aren't enough for them to stick around. If we don't gain anything from each other it feels pointless. And that is the difference of a friend and an acquaintance. I have plenty of people around me who I get along with just fine, but I'm just not interested in hanging out with them more than I already do.
I recently talked to my best friend (since 8 years back) and we both decided to "just" be friends. I had realised that my life was going a completely different way than hers. We were drifting apart and I felt like all our fun and interesting conversations had gone out the window. It was sad but at the same it felt like a natural development in our friendship that I couldn't stop. I have other friends now who I am very close to. But since me and my other friend ended things on good terms, I know I can always talk to her whenever I need it.

If this was my last day...
I would spend as much time as I could with my sister. We are so much alike and share a sense of humor that is pretty rare :P During the evening I would go to Stockholm and make sure that as many of my friends as possible were there, from all over the world. There we would listen to the best kind of rock music, laugh, drink, act goofy and enjoy life like we always do on those nights. Since this would be a rock party, no one would be forced to dance. There would be a requirement though to bang your head.

I'm back folks! All thanks to Hellen who was sweet enough to help me with the layout :)
It's a nice way to start writing again!
What is love?
To me, love is being scared.
It might sound sad and horrific, but how can you not be scared when you devote yourself to someone with all of your heart? And no relationship is perfect. You know there'll be ups and downs. And sometimes your love is unrequited. That is why you're scared. But it can also be the best experience of your life. And that is why you're being brave about it. Not all people are brave though. I am one of those who tend to run off when things starts getting serious because I feel like I'm loosing control. Although lately I have learned that it doesn't have to be that way. If you have open and honest conversations about what you except out of your relationship with someone, I believe you are lowering the odds of getting hurt. Because you are both on the same page. It doesn't have to be serious. It can be unserious too. And that is okay.

What food do I cook?
Oh man... food really isn't something I am passionated about. Baking on the other hand is a blast! There I can be creative with colours and shapes to make cakes and cookies look like fireworks. But food, spices and stuff like that isn't as exciting. So I'm one of those people who makes things easy for me in the kitchen. If someone have prepared it all for me (like the supplier) then great. Just throw it in the micro wave. Other then that I like pasta, rice with vegetarian schnitzel, crêpes.
This is my kind of fun. Sometimes I make a cake just so that I can decorate it!

My parents
My mom and dad have lived together for over 20 years. They are good parents who do their best to not worry about things that other parents may be concerned about. They know that they can trust me and my sister. But still, even they can be too overwhelmed by their emotions and act as if me and my sister are still kids. I'm lucky to have parents who doesn't kick me out on the street just because I'm over 18. They know how difficult it is to pay back money to the state, so they rather let me live at home a couple of more years instead of forcing me to take a loan. So I can always count on them.
Although I wont say that my relationship with my parents is perfect. I'm a lot closer to my dad than to my mum.
But that's something I wont discuss in my blog.

My first love
I met my first love when I was 14 years old. He was 17 and his friends called him Dante although that wasn't his real name. Dante had a difficult life at home with a mother who treated him very badly, but he took out his anger in the martial arts. I thought he was a very, very sweet guy that only wanted to be free from his family. So we started talking and it was nice to have someone like him in my life. But he rushed ahead of me and started planning the future which totally scared me off! I had only begun my life as a teenager and he was already talking like we were grown ups. So I ended up saying that I didn't feel okay with being with him anymore. We were basically on different levels in life. But he's a nice guy so I'm hoping he has found his freedom by now.

About myself
My name is Caroline and I was born in Sweden year 1990. I have always been an esthetic person who loves dancing, music, art, photographing and all kinds of weather! Even though I like spending time with my friends I am also a lone wolf. I need atleast a couple of hours every day to be by myself. That time I usually spend on listening to various rock bands on the highest volume possible.
I began cutting away meat from my diet when I was around 13 years old. I had developed an interest to look up where my food came from and how the animals were treated. And let me tell you, it wasn't pretty. So if there's anything I can debate about for hours; it's animals rights. This is the idealistic side of me that refuses to pretend that the meat industry looks any different. I wont turn my backs on the animals.
Other then that I am a fairly simple girl who prefers grub food instead of fancy restaurants. I always want people to be happy and therefore I don't make decisions immediately, because I'm thinking of everyone who will be affected by it. This is definitely not one of my stronger sides because it's a drawn-out process. At the end I just want peace around me and my loved ones so I solve fights with a diplomatic point of view. There's no reason to get rowled up most of the times. Although, even I have my enemies. But that's a whole other story ;)
