paper slicesToday it’s all about me. It’s not about selfishness. If I posted selfie’s about myself every day of the week, that’s would be selfish. This post contains snippets of moi. That’s me in French. This post is 20 facts about me.

  1. I’m bilingual. My mother tongue is Swedish. It’s Finnish-Swedish so don’t mix it with Sweden.
  2. I never had a pet. Bunnies are my favourite animal
  3. I can play the recorder and piano. I have a good musical ear so I can make tunes on the top of my head. I can even read simple notes that I taught myself
  4. I can speak a few words of German, Italian, French, Spanish and Russian
  5. I rather be alone than having friends disturbing me all the time
  6. I like watching sports. Especially ice hockey
  7. I’ve only watch Marvel movies because of Loki. If he’s not in it, I don’t care
  8. I use social media all the time but sometimes it feels like no one really cares what I post there
  9. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. I don’t like drunk people because you can’t have a decent conversation with them
  10. I’ve never been abroad alone
  11. I like filling quizzes, doing tests and fill forms
  12. I love chocolate but I also eat other candy/sweets
  13. Friday 13 has never brought me bad luck. Maybe because I have no luck other days either
  14. I change my mind all the time which has caused me problems of finding a career.  I really have difficulties starting things.
  15. I hate shopping so I buy things online instead. Sometimes I do go to a store but only if it’s really necessary
  16. I got chased by a dog when I was 6 so I was dead scared for years. But I faced my fear and now I’m over it. As long as they’re on a leach though
  17. I’ve seen Lord of the rings so many times I’ve lost count. The same with The Hobbit. Extended versions included
  18. I’ve tried a lot of different sports and one of them is golf
  19. I think better when the music is on
  20. I’ve only travelled in Europe. Latest trip was to Stockholm this year

Looking for a clutch

cable loopLife is a precious thing and we should all enjoy it as much as we can. We all want something to live for. No matter how we try to clutch to life, there’s always something in the way of our happiness. If it’s another person or the government. There will always be someone who doesn’t appreciate you and try to stop you from trying. We should believe in our own abilities and it doesn’t matter what others think. You can’t please everybody. The most important people are the ones who believe in you and support your decisions. Some people are jealous of others but it shouldn’t stop you from doing things.

I’m still looking for a clutch. I know what I want to do which has taken me years to find. But the problem has been where to find it. I’ve lost my grip on my dreams but I’ve found new ones. I could do so much more if I didn’t have to do things alone. I went to a recruiting event on Tuesday and there was a lecture about personal branding. The man who had it said he wasn’t great at anything but good in a lot of things. That made me feel better about myself because that’s like me.
One of the subjects was also about networking. If there’s something that I should improve is that one. But as an introvert, this is very difficult. Especially when I have trouble approaching strangers. Places like LinkedIn doesn’t help me since I don’t have any former colleagues or friends. The same with Twitter. I’ve only used it for fun. It feels it will take forever before I get anywhere.

I don’t want to get stuck in one place when it comes to working. Projects is totally fine by me. I want to do different things. Working for a company you need experience and I don’t have enough in my line of work. Where should I get experience when you can’t find any work? Voluntary work is one but then you never know if the benefits are taken away. Being unemployed sucks. You want to do things but not everything is possible because there’s always something or someone that holds you back. The clutch shouldn’t be too tight. I need air to breathe. I’ve got stuck in my ways and soon I won’t be able to move. I don’t do new years resolutions but I could try to get out of my comfort zone next year. I did it when I went to see Robbie Williams in concert this summer. I wouldn’t have done so when I was younger. The same with the recruiting event. What I fear the most is a cage where I can’t get out. The cage is the sheltered life I live in now. If a man born without limbs can make something of himself, then anyone can.
