My sister visited my parents this week-end and she found an 10 years old picture of M and me. We were looking young, had longer hair and had no idea where we would be 10 years later. At this time, I was living in Germany, M was back in Sweden and we had no idea that we would own a flat together now, 10 years after the picture was taken.

Sometimes I wonder where I will be in 10 years. When I look back, I am pretty happy of the ways I took, even if there was no evidence from the beginning. Who has actually? Who has a life all pre-drawn, with a path to walk? Princes and princesses maybe? I don’t envy them, because what I’ve got now, is what I worked for, and got help to achieve. What I will have in 10 years depends on me a lot: what will I make from my time?

On tuesday, there is an introduction-chat for a lecture I am intending the 12 coming weeks. This is about the philosophy of photografy. We have some litterature to read and we will have to write essay about some subjects connected to photografy and philosofy. This is to me, who studied science, a new path to go and maybe a way to make better even better interview and to developp my way of thinking around photos. I am very excited, even if it’s a lot about reading, and I wonder how I will make it work with my job and other ambitions, but I’ll give it a big try!

There’s a conclusion to my illusion
I assure you this
There’s no end to this confusion
If you let it wish you well
Soul to sell
Highest bidders, can’t you tell what you’re getting?
There is a light to all this darkness
I will tell you this
There’s redemption in you asking them just why it is
Some answers are better left unspoken when you know you ain’t getting any

Younger, younger, younger
Are you?
You ain’t getting any
Younger, younger, younger

Why we fight to get on loving I’ve been wondering
How your mind will leave you hanging your heart lingering
Stay lost
Then found by whoever stays around, forgetting
There is a way to be yourself, I assure you this
There’s a way to catch your dreams without falling asleep
You might as well get it while you can, babe
’cause you know you ain’t getting any

There is a light to all this darkness if only we

Fight against them telling us how we should be
I refuse to have you break me
When you know you ain’t getting any
