I've just finished watching Obama's speech about the elementary school massacre that happened today and I'm shaken. I want to believe in the goodness of this world, of the beauty and inspiration but foremost the love in this world. It breaks my heart to know these small children have lost their lives today by the hands of a murderer. I also know that there are children and grown ups who died today (and every day) that won't get any spotlight in the media, but who will be missed and grieved by loved ones. I send a thought to them too.
I want you who read this to know how lucky you are. I want you to tell your loved ones no matter if it's a friend or family that you love them. If you can't say it then show in actions, a hug, a small gift. Let them know you care and be thankful you're still alive.
Take care of each other

EMERGENCY: HELP! (updated)
I've gotten 2257 SEK ($250) but I'm still missing 2979 SEK ($331). I had to revise how much my money I have on my bank account right now due to more costs popping, so I now have 2954* SEK ($327).
Please, if you can, help!
One of the things I really hate to do is beg but I have come to a point where if I don't get help I will end up in debt, so I'm here asking you for help.
In a couple of days I'm moving to a new city but it's been one hassle after another during this move, the latest being that I don't seem to find someone to sublet my apartment to. And today my landlord told me that the earliest I can offer someone to move in, if I'm luc

Together we can change the world in 2017
It's just 18h left of 2016 as I sit down to write this. I don't know what to say about this year, at the same time I have something to say otherwise I wouldn't sit here writing.
2016 have been devoured by death and misery, so much of it in the news that the victories we've made over the year for wrongly imprisoned people, the climate and everything in between have been swallowed up. The last few days I've gotten newsletters from all kinds of organisations I sign petitions for or follow with news of victories, that 2016 wasn't so bad. I want to focus on that yet there are people dying, starving, being raped right now all over the world.

It's awful. And the sad thing is is that it may never stop happening because there are just sick and twisted people out there and even if you take away the guns and the weapons they'll find new ways to bring others down with them.
I guess we have to be thankful and happy for what we have and remind those close to us that they are loved. Because maybe if someone had done the same for the murderer he wouldn't of done this.
