The Journey of an Inkling
Stemming from intuition, a notion From the unwanted notion, an angst In the whirlwind of angst, a force It is clarity. With a winking eye, a smirk It beckons you, surrender The notion may be true, if so The grief is solely temporary Wheras you, stand solid forever
Windows in the clouds
Beneath the heavy cloud blanket are people with gloomy faces. Some attempt to smile, but most succumb to the pressing darkness. In the news, scientists report that we’re more prone to becoming depressed, that the lack of light disrupts our sleeping patterns and that we’re more drawn to sugar because of it. We haven’t seenContinue reading “Windows in the clouds”
Our Wonky Digital Consciousness
We’re experiencing from screens; human, animal, machine. I feel like I’ve been to the US, Africa and Asia, I sure make references as if I would’ve. I pluck a vague memory from a series made in anywhere, which faulty leads me to believe, this, what I see, is how it must be there. I feelContinue reading “Our Wonky Digital Consciousness”

Perception Misconception
Distinguishing who I am without you Extinguishing who you say I am, before you I am nothing without your gaze Although, I may be shrewed in it too I take a pick of what you say I am, make a mental note, the rest I denote Because at times I concur to your perception YouContinue reading “Perception Misconception”
Blushing Storm

I found my smile in Paris
The vibrant swaying of the bass-strings, they lure me in until I’m thrown out and caught by the whimsical beating of the drums. Rhythmic, never harmful. Dumbfounded, I smile. I watch the drummer as I imitate his moves with my arms. In response, he raises an eyebrow in amused confusion. I’m swept up by theContinue reading “I found my smile in Paris”
Content Overload
We’re thoughts circling the insides of a beehive Colliding, connecting, introspecting We think to achieve, to thrive and believe All has been said, I think, as I lay down my pen No thought is unique, it’s all on repeat My words are shadows of scribbled notes, of poems, novels, of scripts from before But, whatContinue reading “Content Overload”
See and make seen
I didn’t know you for long. A day after your death I backtracked how long we actually had known each other for.

Learning how to be content
I pull my hair in what’s a combination of stress and frenzy. It’s dry and frazzled. I’ve been expecting it to fall off this winter. A winter that has been too long and cold. I’ve also been expecting myself to run away several times but I never have. Instead I’ve tucked the notion of otherContinue reading “Learning how to be content”
Intelligent scum
What if people a hundred years from now will look back at us in the” rich” world and ask: Why didn’t you stop this from happening?

The elusive concept of being one’s own boss
Suddenly the limbo-state in which I’ve found myself to be in for a while, cleared up and showed me what it was actually about.

I’ve wanted to start my own company since I was 16 (I’mContinue reading “The elusive concept of being one’s own boss”
Peeling layers of thought
I’ve been writing all day. I went to Haymarket, looked around in the beautiful milieu and had a coffee, or two actually, very important. The act of going to a place to write, is special. You designate time to write. I don’t do that very often, but when I do, I cherish every second. IContinue reading “Peeling layers of thought”
Little Miss Fuck-Up

I don’tContinue reading “Little Miss Fuck-Up”
Free-writing my way to freedom
I’m in a room on Gotland in a beautiful summer house. There are five new, for me, people sleeping in the other rooms. They’re my team-mates on this shortfilm-shoot. Yesterday I rode for four hours straight and I felt empowered and free sitting on the horse Irina. My co-actress and I roamed the fields, cantered,Continue reading “Free-writing my way to freedom”

19 drafts in my pocket
I’ve 19 drafts lying around in this blog, 9 of which were created this week. I can’t seem to find my words, nor my language, nor my inspiration or flow.

We celebrated our first month working togetherContinue reading “19 drafts in my pocket”
