The Unbearable Lightness of Being Me

Sverige Sverige älskade vän...

The feeling to be back in my beloved Sweden is nothing i can totally describe with words, especially not with the amount of writing talent that i possess...

Its 2 years since i left and to my surprise (or not) things havent changed much... i immediately recognize the place and i feel very comfortable moving around.. for moments it feels like i never left and for some other moments, it feels like it was loooong ago since i was there the last time.. sitting on the tunnelbanna, listening to the lovely lady announcing the stops and preventing us from accidents with the famous gap.."Tänk på avståndet mellan vagn och platform när du stiger av"... ahhh, i still know that line by heart.. and at this point it sounds like music to my (very unaccostumed to swedish) ears.


It was (here's where i need more adjectives, dammit!) so much fun to meet Hanna, Gökce, Emma, Laura, Fredrik, Nishti, Daniel, Niklas, Fredric, Raj, Robert, Susana, Tatiana, Joni, Maria, etc... it was so natural to be around them.. just like good old glory days! And hey.. even if i didnt know them from before.. Amit and Nisarg surely contributed to the fun!


I stayed for 2 weeks, i didnt do much and i wasnt supposed to, i was not in a hurry to go to the touristy spots or the main attractions, i didnt have a set agenda.. i could just chill and have a good time 'at home', yeah cause to me, thats what Stockholm feels like.


I spent most of my time in Stockholm.. walking around, going to my favorite sites, partying, having fikas with friends, satisfying my swedish food craves, revisiting my old neighbourhoods: Karlaplan, Reimersholme and Tekniska Högskolan, having flash backs... but i also went to Västerås for the first time, Uppsala for Midsommarafton and Copenhagen to meet Erik, Chris and of course.. Jonas.


I really had a wonderful holiday, Hanna and I broke previous records partying several nights in a roll AND we could even afford to take cabs to go into town! Are we cool or what? :p


Apart from all the partying, chilling, and stuff.. i think i also found love... yeahhh, summer lovin' had me a blaaast, summer lovin' happened so faaast.. :p


It was so hard to leave again... one of these days ill just stay there :)
