I found out that i can write from my phone and post things quite easily but the problem is that i can’t link on FB, so i hope you found the way on here to read by yourself!
Today is my last day from the decenia with a 2 at the beginning. I remember (almost) as if it was yesterday when i turned 20. It was a thrusday, it was like election for student representant at school and this special friday was the opening day of the campaign. One week of party, my first day of my twenty, i am not sure, but i think i had a headache and slept almost the whole day, then got up, took a shower and went directly to the next party.

I was like studiyng a lot, in Grenoble, just met nice friends and was living in a little room. When i sat on the bed, i could reach both my desk, the window and the fridge. I could admire the Vercors from it too and it was really impressing. At this time, i couldn’t see longer in the future than 2003. But it did not matter. Studied the whole day, partied often on thursday, friday and
saturday and enjoying cheap dinner and good laughs with friends.

I was still living in Grenoble but i don’t remember if we partied of not, even if it was a friday evening. Oh, i think we may have done something. Prolly hang over the day after!

I turned 22 in Darmstadt and i still remember the feeling i had when i realized that my friends from there did organise a bday party in my flat, a surprise. It was really nice, but it was almost the last thing on earth i wanted to have on this day. I remember i had driven to France to vote and i was really tired.
23.2005.
I was living in Karlsruhe and not liking it that much. I honestly don’t remember if i made a party or not, i guess not.
24.2006.
I was living in Lund and ate raclette with the familly i was living with.The kids were very lovely to me during this evening and we danced on shaggy quite a lot, mini party with lovely people. I also remember i got a beautiful nakelace for this birthday, and i lost it one summer night, when i was walking home on the country side where my parents live. I was not very sober and walked through the wood alone and it was a disaster in the morning when i noticed that i lost this nakelace.
25.2007.
I was living in Eskilstuna. First bday at this work and i bought ice cream for the coffee break. I also made my first tatoo for this bday and my french friends came to Sweden and
we together went north to Boden to spend some days close to Mother Nature.
26.2008.
Still living in Eskilstuna, it was a friday too if i remember well. I think we went bowling with work and i was feeling a litle lost. 26 was kind of a bastard number and i did not really know where i was standing in life.
27.2009.
This was time for a James Bond party at Kriebsensgatan 14a, Eskilstuna, with a lots of friends and the cultures got mixed. Fun. And time for me to make my second tatoo too. I received a nice gift of my dad: he made a list of 365 songs that he was listening to when he had my age, so i could find inspiration kind of.

I turned 28 on a sunday and my best friend P came to Stockholm to be with me during this week end. We had a calm saturday evening and a cosy sunday in a pool on the roof of the hotel, enjoying the first sun of the year. It was snow on the ground but really warm in my heart. I remember also that i took the train to Malmö the same day, i had a meeting early there on monday morning and when i checked in at the hotell, i saw a bottle of champagne and a piece of cake and it made me really happy. I also ran 10 km while watching TV at the gym at the hotell. I was preparing the first halv mara of my life for the coming june.
29.2011.
I just came back from France where i just exploded my record on the 21km in Paris. I was actually still living in Eskilstuna but spend the day in Linköping and
ate a nice swedish dinner with a friend. I also made a list of the things i had to do before i turn 30 and honestly, the 2 hours left will not help that much…
Old and wise people tell you all the time that time flies and i notice it now, when i, in 30 minutes, can write down what happened to my bdays under a 10 years period. When i turned 20, i couldn’t imagine who i would become at 30. I think i knew i wanted to be free and loved and this is warming me all over today, when i think that i will soon turn 30 and actually reached that.
Then, ok, i maybe thought i would already have kids, a car and a horse, but instead, i discovered the life abroad, learn 2 new langages and did plenty of funny things. I couldn’t even show Sweden on the map and it is now the country where i paid most of taces in my life and i am happy to make it. I also was not in the neighbourhood to think that i would have taken the driving licence for my motorbike, nor that i would have worked in Morocco. Nor even that i would find pleasure in running or living in a snowy landscape with -20 in the morning when i would walk to work. I wouldn’t even imagine that that much people would be faithful to me and i am sincerely happy to see that people who wished me a happy 20th bday are still around. Plus some lovely more of course.
10 years, it goes quickly. Who know where i’ll be when i will turn 40, a monday in 2022?
