Me and the other one went out on a much-needed date last night, and it was the best date EVER!!!!
So important.
Because boredom is always around the corner if you don’t make an effort. And I find we don’t talk about stuff at home..?! Like adult stuff. Intellectual stuff. Such as celebrity gossip and the costs of fossil fuels. It’s so weird. We go on about our lives, we’re in the apartment at the same time all the time, but not together, right? Obviously would go crazy if we were up in each others shit all the time, but sitting down talking.. I think that went out the window as soon as the television reached the average household.
Anyways. Today it’s Election Day and we have a GREAT night ahead. I’m not particularly involved in politics and have occasionally been one of those shits who didn’t vote
I know.. Shit.
But today I made my way down and voted. The other one holding my hand. Feeling very grown up and patriotic (also just watched Suffragette and am therefore having mixed emotions of women empowerment, guilt, and a bit of shame).
I do think it’s the cynic in me telling me it doesn’t matter what I do, though. World’s going to shits anyways, what I do, what Norway does, doesn’t really matter..? I don’t know. But it feels good! Caring, taking part in the hopes of a better future. Obviously can’t have that kind of negative attitude anymore and this is me now.
This attitude. Leaning up against the wall. No shits given.. Disgusting.
So here I’ll be for the rest of the evening. Sitting on red. Surrounded by green. Wearing blue.
And also, since I’m slowly turning into a responsible grown-up (at the very least definitely planning to over the next thirty years), I have been more involved in this election. We all need to. Especially after the whole situation our friends in the west are finding themselves in. Yikes.
I’m also making blueberry pie for the occasion. Because pie is the easiest cake-like thing to make without dairy. So I’m pretty stoked about that. So stoked I didn’t even shower. My hair can now stand on it’s own.
Only thing left to say now is Godt Valg!
First off entertainingly to read as usual.
And you look just gorgeous in the photos.
I dont think anyone should really have a bad conscious when they dont care(d)
for voting.
The last thing those running this place on this planet of ours is where we made our little
crosses [x] – maybe just the illusion to keep the sheeple calm.
On the other hand you are in Norway. And your votes actually do count something
and even more for your own country and wellbeing in it – since you are fortunate and blessed to not
be fully involved in the EU dictat.
Unpopular opinion? Probably, but maybe more will soon understand what I mean by that.
No enjoy the blueberry pie 😉
*Now
Yes, I’d never shame anyone for anything really.. But obviously one should vote and play your part towards a better future. Not sure I quite understood everything you wrote..? 🙂
Viktoria, you live in a beautiful country the envy of many in the world. You should have your say in how it is to be governed in the future. If not for yourself, for future generations of Norwegians. I am currently staying with my younger brother who has cancer, I just wish both of us had made a greater effort to be in each others company over the years. We still have our issues and moments, but I wouldn’t swap being with him, after all he’s family and the only brother I have.
I know, that’s why I voted?
Sorry about your brother.
Yeah it does seem like the world is going to shit, but what Norway does (at least in my opinion) is set a damn fine example. Be proud of that! As a Brit I couldn’t be more ashamed of our current government, one I voted against. Ah well. I would be so happy to win a vote and have it make a difference, so don’t miss out on that. Also I think at times like this it’s more important for the little people to even finer to each other.
I’m surprised you two veg out in front of the TV. I’d take tea, cakes and conversation over that any day (especially with the views like your parents house has)! I’ve no idea what Norwegian TV is like mind. 😛
I love that last photo; you could totally pull off a big Elvis-like quiff! 🙂
The election went on all night on Tv, of course we wanted to see that.
Oh I see, I thought you meant you watch TV in general and don’t talk to each other! 😛
haha, no 🙂
You go girl! Great to see you stepping out to vote and to keep communications happening with your lovely husband! Politics in my country are a joke (Australia) and I never feel that my vote makes much of a difference however I vote regardless.
I am sad that there are those in the world that are so anti life that are turning this world to shit. I wonder (and worry) at what cost it will take for people to come to their senses.
Meanwhile I live my life in a most beautiful little coastal town, almost oblivious to the chaos around me. It’s frustrating to not be able to feel like I can or am making a difference to the out of control things happening in this beaufitful world. I just have to start with myself and hope that has a domino effect.❤️ Andy I am also sorry to hear about your brother.
Sounds lovely! I believe we’re allowed to retire from the world and just live our lives <3 After all we might not be many generations away from destroying human kind, might as well make the most of the time we have 🙂
I have to agree with that regardless of my conscience 🙂 I am currently drawing and using watercolours to ‘document’ nature around me in detail (beautiful flowering native plants and sea shells at this stage and might progress to bugs and weeds as they all play a part in our ecosystem)… I feel it is important to look at the natural world and pay respect to the part it plays in this crazy world.) Concentrating on the natural things around us can be beneficial for our health and help us to connect with nature which is what we all need and it should start from an early age. Feeling connected to nature I believe, will develop respect for the planet and for each other. All the beautiful people I know have this and it is what I wish and hope for everyone! 🦋
