Rules Of Engagement

Av Jessica - 26 februari 2010 13:34


After my rebirth (so to speak) at 30, I decided to challenge my self a bit more than I've done in my previous life (before 30...). I vaguely remembered a book title called "101 things to do before you die" by Richard Horne. I Googled it and found the home page http://www.101thingstodo.co.uk/Home.html. Inspired by the fact that there is an entire movement around the world with "101:ers" I decided to get the list and just do it!  


I found out that there are two books (two lists) written by the author. Since I can't decide which one I like best, I've decided to use them both. Hey, I'm only thirty right? Many years to go (hopefully...).


I decided that my attempt to finish as many of these challenges begun after my 30:th birthday. So, I will not use any experiences from the years prior to that.


Well then, HERE WE GO!!!

En muttermucklas död

Av Jessica - 24 februari 2010 12:00

Det är snart mars. Bara några dagar kvar, och snön ligger i drivor utanför fönstren. Solen skiner genom fönstret och det glittrar som diamanter på marken och i träden. Jag hade ett av de sista besöken hos min kurator idag. Det känns som att jag har a...

I morse lämnade jag över orden som jag funderat på ett tag. Tog inga garantier för vad som skulle komma härnäst, kastade bara ut dem som tärningar i ett parti yatzy, och hoppades på att få några poäng med mig istället för att förlora allt. Allt hamna...

Hjärtat slår så hårt att svetten bryter fram i pannan. Jag blinkar ett par gånger för att låta ögonen hitta sitt fokus igen, utan att lyckas. Det börjar susa i öronen och jag kniper igen ögonen i ett vansinnigt försök att stänga ute min egen kropp. N...

"Det mörker du ser gör att stjärnorna syns lite mer", sjunger Winnerbäck. En positiv tanke som är nog så svår att ta till sig när det är som mörkast omkring en. Men när ljuset återkommit, om så bara med en strimma, är det lättare att se vad som menas...
