Hotel J with J and N

He told me not to book anything in on the 12th of June and let me live in oblivion till’ five days before when he revealed that we were going on a staycation in Nacka. Met him up by Dramaten, with butterflies in my belly and was stoked about going on a mini-adventure. We took the boat outContinue reading “Hotel J with J and N”

Play Seriously

I had my assessment today and it bugged me, it made me feel inadequate and wrong, lost and unintelligible. Haunted by the feeling of always doing too little, never enough. I structure a routine to fit everything in, ending up with a breakdown and smeary tears. When is “it’s enough” and “how active can oneContinue reading “Play Seriously”

Destruct to reconstruct

This headline could have been the beginning to one of my highly acclaimed poems but nah 😉 It’s all about the moving-in chaos that I currently live in. BUT, my bed is here, the sofa arrived today (currently sitting in it m m m), school’s out on Friday and summer is here! Life is friggin’Continue reading “Destruct to reconstruct”

The Youthful Longing for Nothing and More

In Ghana I decided to live my life here in Sweden, more like I did there, which equals spending more money on food, drinks, events, activities, and in return get more experiences and fun-times. These past weeks have been all about sun-bathing (because summer came to Sweden?!?!! WHAT?!) going out, eating out, going to school,Continue reading “The Youthful Longing for Nothing and More”

Thunder outside, thunder within

It’s twenty-seven degrees in my room, but I am freezing. My body is laying flat in bed and my eyes are forcing me to keep them shut, they are not ready for a new day. I fall into some sort of half-ass sleep where I enter dreamland. I dream of all the experiences I’ve hadContinue reading “Thunder outside, thunder within”

Whiskey & Cards, Wine & Kisses

Out of nowhere a charming human, with eyes as blue as the sea, with tattooed biceps and the giggliest laughter ever heard, entered my life.The past couple of days we’ve taken vacation from our chores and spent time together. I believe that when crushing – give it all the time it needs because it is a rareContinue reading “Whiskey & Cards, Wine & Kisses”

Butterflies

I’m sitting in my room with my bags packed. My family is chatting downstairs with the clatter of porcelain as background music. Tonight is the event of The Free Projects and it feels like as if we (in the team) are inviting people into our personal bubble. A bubble that hopefully will explode into happiness and excitement tonight.Continue reading “Butterflies”

Mash Up of Lately

Lately I’ve been in school finishing our project for SPP. The presentation was yesterday and we kicked ass! Literally so proud of our team and what we accomplished together. All my classies were out celebrating last night but I was hungover and tired as hell from the night before and stayed in like a trueContinue reading “Mash Up of Lately”

My 2nd Commercial

“Amazing acting” “1 sec of screen-time and she simply nails it!” – Voices on Josefine’s Aftonbladet commercial. I hope you caught the sarcasm! This was my 2nd commerical shoot and what I can take out of my few experiences thus far is that they’re fast-paced, synchronized and incredibly thought-through during production (meaning – nothing isContinue reading “My 2nd Commercial”

Life Right Now

Went to the doctor yesterday and got some hard-core asthma meds. Felt like a real junkie walking out of there with a band-aid, trembling body and a face as pale as the snow with halfmoons of purple beneath my eyes. Today is the first day in a week that I can breathe kind of properlyContinue reading “Life Right Now”

Nature the Charmer

My lungs are waking me up way too early and as a result my mornings become quite eventful. Today I’ve watched a bit of When Harry Met Sally, walked, worked and written. On the 12th of April I begin a writer’s class online, I’m beyond stoked to get to learn more and get counseled throughoutContinue reading “Nature the Charmer”

Souweet Drink & Raw Snickers

I know I’m not feeling well when I don’t even have the energy to think about not feeling well, nor consider a world outside my bedroom. Thanks for the Internet though ❤ My lungs are filled with slime (yeah, you’re welcome for that info), and my left lung is giving me a hard time –Continue reading “Souweet Drink & Raw Snickers”

A Weekend of Variation

My phone is overloaded with messages from Slack, my routines are back in the game, so are my workouts, I’m back with a brilliant team – I’m back in the Hyper bubble, to say the least. Last weekend began with a surprise party for Anna. It’s almost impossible to lie to her, and even moreContinue reading “A Weekend of Variation”

Human; Deactivated

Someone pressed the OFF-button on me this week. I’ve been malfunctioning deep under my duvet. It started Monday, straight after we had gotten our teams for X-program. I was short of breath, not present and everytime I stood up my world was on the verge of becoming pitch black – something I smoothly avoided and keptContinue reading “Human; Deactivated”

An Artsy Interlude

For my birthday I got a visit to Artipelag, which is, as you might have figured out, art in the archipelago – outside of Stockholm.  A huge venue initiated by the founders of Baby Björn.  The light which shot through the enormous panorama windows was magical, as you can see here:            I amContinue reading “An Artsy Interlude”

And just like that…

… one semester at Hyper Island has gone by. Our christmas goodbye was extremely cozy. We checked in with “Strangest christmas tradition” and it was wonderful to get a tiny snippet insight into everyone’s lives. We drew a huge tree on the floor that we got to dress with candles and little notes declaring “My biggest insight”,Continue reading “And just like that…”

A three weeks week

It is Monday, but my head tells me it is time for a weekend. It’s good for me to be at code-camp during the weekends and kind of teach myself to exclude the need for a longer rest from my brain. Because when I’ll start my own company or whatever, then there will be noContinue reading “A three weeks week”

Makers Academy

Today my brother and I have had our first private-tutoring session. We feel very special ;)) Nah, but due to some last minute drop-outs we are the only ones in Code-class. The day has been long and full of information. I’m finally entering the world of back-end. Might be the end of me….But thankfully, ThomasContinue reading “Makers Academy”

Love & other stories

I’m in a new team in school, we’re doing a module called Business & Strategy (something something). We’ll get the brief tomorrow and so far so good, I am extremely curious about what we will be able to create together. After school I ended up on a stroll  at Slussen with a (not really) newly-foundContinue reading “Love & other stories”

The Digital Emotion of a Physical Being

That would be our project for Radiant Equilibrium, our kick-ass exhibition where over a thousand people came. It was something remarkable about letting people interact with what you have created. This is our project-film. Take a minute to watch, it is beautiful! The Digital Emotion of a Physical Being from Carl Sahlin on Vimeo.

Infinitesimal;

1. Immeasurably or incalculably minute. 2. Mathematics: Capable of having values approaching zero as a limit. Despite my English-speaking everyday life I find myself stumbling on words and becoming acute aware of my illiteracy. Project English-improvement has begun. I found this tiny word (above) and it’s beautiful! Now I’m ridiculously aware of what/how I write in this blog-post. Evil-circle.  Last weekend was rather mundane in all it’s uniqueness (please notice allContinue reading “Infinitesimal;”

Hamster-Wheel With a Touch of Rainbow

Added a surprisingly sweet section to my daily-routines on Monday morning, I ran 2km – 10min. Now I’ve done it for three days. I thought my bones would break and my sleepy-head would steer me intro a tree but it’s actually quite pleasant running in a dream-state.  Other than that the days move in a hamster-wheel. UpContinue reading “Hamster-Wheel With a Touch of Rainbow”

VAMPIREEN ’15

Last Saturday I let 60 people into my house to “celebrate” Halloween (Vampireen), or rather; a good reason to throw a party because of all the epic outfits.  I spent all of Friday night cleaning and then all of Saturday fixing with props, snacks, drinks etc. Later that night I stereotyped my way into becomingContinue reading “VAMPIREEN ’15”

If Mozart would go clubbing…

…I wonder if he would feel as misplaced as I did last Saturday when I voluntarily went to Collage? Although he was a little rowdy  rascal wasn’t he? A ladies man of sorts? Maybe he would have loved all those Stureplan-girls who go clubbing in big fat feather jackets (which stroke my sweaty bare skin in theContinue reading “If Mozart would go clubbing…”

Ah, weekend.

Went out last Friday to Bar Nombre at Odengatan (love that place!) and then spent the night in at Elsa’s yesterday, studying. We underwent an intense Friday, my classmates and I, where we unexpectedly made a deep-dive into our ethics and morals. Which sparked some interesting discussions regarding tech/design combined with creating something of value for anContinue reading “Ah, weekend.”

What a Day and Night

Yes! What a day and night! Our exhibition exceeded my expectations by thousands-folds. People were queuing for ages and there were probably around 800-1000 beings who came and saw our projects. My team and I stood and gazed out over our part of the project while people were interacting with it, we were filled withContinue reading “What a Day and Night”

Juggle life

Spent the day at Anna’s. This weekend I’ve been taking it abnormally chill. Felt like I ran into a tiny wall last Wednesday due to too many impressions and a brain which runs on top-speed with too little fuel. So I had to wind down. Spent last night at Sonja’s, with play-dough. Haha. We madeContinue reading “Juggle life”
