On a very sunny day right before I left for Canada, I met up with some of my girls from Hyper to start planning out our side projects and the club night at Laika. I was beat from a night out but with some steaming coffee and initial ideas we all flamed up in discussion.   Anyways. I’m now back in Stockholm after two golden weeks in Toronto, Canada. I’ve got a high fever and an empty bank account. It’s been packed with going to dinners with relatives, drinking bourbon in shady bars and meeting all of the important people in Daniel’s life. I have so much to show you and I’m editing as fast as I can, so hang in there!   Linn

JULY. I received the letter saying that I got accepted to Hyper Island in Stockholm and broke down sobbing both out of relief but even more out of despair. I decided to accept it which was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. Meanwhile I had my last day at work (crying obviously) and then I was off just working on my tan in parks and being carefree. I hung out with Kajsa every single day and she became one of my most important people. Daniel was on a motorcycle trip in Cali and I had friends over for seafood dinners almost every night. London was steaming hot and me knowing these were my last weeks I squeezed in as much fun as I could. For my last weekend my friends brought me down to Brighton where we drank wine at the beach and the night was sweltering and pink. AUGUST. We went to Visions Festival the day before the worst day of my life. Between gigs I had pickle back shots with Saboune and Bex and danced in their office chairs to Prince until I started crying. It was now my turn to attend my own leaving party and it was surreal and lovely because I filled up a whole flat with people I love. Then on the 4th I moved to Stockholm and was an absolute mess. Sweden was colourful but I hated every bit of it. Hyper Island started and was more than I could’ve hoped for, but still I cried at least three times a day being so broken inside. I had never had so much fun at school, meeting incredible people and learning tons. This blog though, was only filled with all that my heavy heart felt. I almost wanted to abandon this place because what point was there when I didn’t do anything adventurous in my life anymore. No outrageous warehouse parties or restaurant dinners, no new excursions or rooftops nights with friends. My weeks was just packed with school and I kind of loved it. It killed me not seeing Daniel for a whole month though, so when he came it felt like I had won the lottery. SEPTEMBER. My depression got deeper with every week and it came to that point where my parents sorted out therapy for me. I realised that this cannot keep on happening so I started to make an effort and actually I realised that perhaps Stockholm isn’t all shit. Three weeks in I got to go back to London for a visit and it was magical and I didn’t understand why I wasn’t there with Daniel and my friends but I started to accept it.   PART I – JAN FEB MAR PART II – APRIL MAY JUNE     Linn
