A Free Spirit

Recently a friend of mine labeled me as a “free spirit” person, and this isn’t the first time to hear that.

Yes I’m kinda of this label. I’m not selfish but I have been independent for long and I know how to do things because I want to do them.

Still I can’t function when I feel restricted. I don’t like when people, whether beloved ones or friends, or even coworker insist on me following certain rules to fit.

I hardly seek routine and that’s why I love waking up every morning, knowing that this day will be vastly different from the last.

People think because I don’t share much about my feelings that I do not have any worries. That’s not true, I worry a lot. But if something is not worth my time, I just move on. Life is short and I learnt that the harsh way.

YES I don’t mind being alone. I don’t even mind sitting at home on my own. I lived alone for many years and I loved my life.

Still I love having friends to hangout with but I don’t like that my relationships with others define me. In fact, I don’t really let anything define me. I know me, happy for being me, and I fought a lot to be that woman.

I like seeking ways to expand my mind, enjoy working with creative people because that inspires me a lot. I always want to be a better person in this missed up world.

In the end I can tell you I live my life without selling my soul to the devil. I had lots of good and bad experiences. I don’t just love. I love unconditionally, but I don’t mind if people drift away.

Damn, time flies! I have to leave office now and run, I’m gonna meet some old peeps haha! Then I’m so looking forward for my day off tomorrow. I will have a big lunch with a lovely friend and I can’t wait!!

If you like being in control of your life, having everything planned out, knowing exactly what is going to happen and when, then stay in your comfort zone.

But if you really want to live happy, then remember that life shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

How awesome was the weather the last two days in Stockholm? It feels like spring is gonna be around soon.

Oh, I love Stockholm when the sun is shining! I just want to keep walking around until the sun is down to enjoy the amazing view.

How was your day?! Any plans for the weekend?!

XOXO

One of the questions I’m being asked about more and more lately is who takes my photos?

Most of my pretty photos are taken by my boyfriend 🙂

Today I’m publishing some Black and White images.

They say: “When you photograph people in colors, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in Black and white, you photograph their souls!”

My boyfriend is really into Black and White photography and I asked him many times before why he is so obsessed with Black and White.

He says: “Colors can be terribly distracting in some images and can take your focus away from the subject. I like taking the color out of my images to let the subjects speak for themselves”.

Black and White images can be strong, high contrast and powerful – or on the other side soft and gentle.

Of course the black and white vs colors debate is a very personal one.
