Youtuber?

I posted my very first YouTube video yesterday. *gasps*

It’s a vlog from my family-trip to Liverpool, It’s not the greatest but it’s a start. You may or may not remember my New Years resolutions of 2016, where I say I’m going to start to make videos... weeeellll... like most new years resolutions it got delayed.. ha

I genuinely love YouTube! 

It’s the perfect platform to get really creative & to get inspired by others, wether it’s from vlogs, cooking, tutorials or gaming videos ~ the possibilities are endless. I’ve been quite the YouTube nerd since my early teen years and I love watching creators grow and get creative both in how they edit and in what kind of content they grow into making. I find it so entertaining and I often find myself binge watching youtubers rather than tv shows. 

Being a massive fan(read fangirl) for so long has inspired me to want to creative something myself. So it has basically been my New Years resolution for several years now to start making videos and last year I actually filmed quite a lot, but never really put together anything I wanted to post. It’s a scary thing, putting yourself out there for the whole world to judge how you look, how you act, how you edit, etc. I’m such a perfectionist too, and that really holds me back. Especially while being new to editing videos too. I just don’t feel like I’m ever done, something can always be a little bit better.  

But now I’m saying screw it. The video I posted now wasn’t perfect in any way! Too long clips, too long texts, not perfectly matched with the music, etc.It’s not perfect but it’s a start; and I truly enjoyed making it, and that’s all that matters. 

My goal is at least one video every month this year, we’ll see how it goes! My goal with it is to simple have fun with it, to develop in my editing skills(lord knows I need to) and to find my kind of way of making videos. (To find my own ‘touch’ of it so to say, if that makes sense.) 

I’m excited! So come join me with subscribing & giving all them thumbs up if you’d like to see future content!

La ut en youtubevideo ifrån familjeresan till Liverpool i december. Älskar youtube och tycker det är så inspirerande på så många sätt! Jag är en amatör med att redigera & med att filma, men vill gärna utvecklas i mitt kreativa tänkande & sätt att skapa, och tycker framförallt att det är sjukt kul så även om denna video är lååånga vägar från att vara exakt så som jag egentligen kanske önskar(hashtag perfektionist) så bestämde jag mig screw it, jag tänker lägga ut den ändå! Och det känns ändå bra och väldigt kul. Så håll utkik för fler videos i framtiden! 

The end of the f***ing world

January is my least favourite month of the year (sorry sis! happy bday!). It’s just seems to be one of those months where nothing really exciting happens and it just drags itself out (compared to months that you love where you just blink and they’re over). And the weather where I live doesn’t help at all because it can’t make up its mind of who it wants to be. It literally goes from -10 C and snowy to +10 C and windy/rainy within 24hours (seriously, i'm not even being a little dramatic. it actually did that this week) And then taking down all Christmas decoration doesn’t really help to make things more cheerful around you either. BUT in the midst of this gloomy season that I highly dislike ~ I’m making a bit of an effort to be more positive this year. 

I’ve decided to dedicate more time to do things that I love! Which could be a list of a few things but tbh most importantly;  to binge-watching Netflix shows!

Yes, you heard me correctly, I have such exciting, original & interesting hobbies.

The end of the f***ing world.

I watched this entire show in one sitting Tuesday evening last week and I would highly recommend giving it a watch! It's a hard show to explain, as it is quite weird haha. The music is awesome, the cast is a perfect fit, the story is just so so good, strange & unpredictable, I can't recommend it enough. It's really short too so doesn't take long at all to watch from start to finish, which I guess is both good and bad. I am a bit doubtful for a season 2 but fingers crossed because I would love to see more of it!

Pretty little liars.

I started watching PLL when I was around 15-16 and was absolutely obsessed with it! But the past two seasons I’ve just never been in the mood to watch them. But now I finally did it! I was quite pleased with the ending, although I definitely feel like they could've made the last episode into three episodes instead. It felt a bit rushed and I'm annoyed at a few details (mini-spoiler alert; why would you make the most perfect couple fight the entire last epiosde??? ugh). It was quite predictable but I feel like if it hadn't ended in that way I've would've been even more pissed so I'm fine with it. Happy to finally have watched it, but feeling quite emotional after finishing it.Sidenote, why do shows always do that with the last episode/season? They drags things out for so long and then rush it all in the end and make certain things weird. PLL did a good job for the most part but I know so many other amazing shows that just gets ruined in the last few episodes or sometimes even last season. Such a shame.

That 70s show.

Friends is my "comfortshow", we all know this.(well.. now you do.) I can probably quote every episode from all ten seasons and I still laugh at every single joke, I just bloody love it. It got to the point where my family got so tired of hearing the friends-song & the jokes I felt like maybe,  just maybe, I need to take a break and start watching something else once in awhile; and quite literally at that time, Netflix decided to have get that 70s show!

70s show(plus scrubs & family guy) was my entire life when I was around 13-14 so I was pumped to watch it again and get all them throwbacks!

And I still think it’s so so good! Besides loving all the stereotypical 70s inspired stuff the show is freaking hilarious, it’s relatable and it has such weird and original ideas. It never fails to make me smile and will for sure always be one of my favourite comedy-shows. If you haven't seen it, you're missing out!

HELLO WISCONSIN

Stranger things.

I know I know, I’m superbehind(again). It's so good!! I was very intrigued & understand what all the fuss has been about from basically episode 1. I just finished season 1, and I was tbh expecting more of an exciting cliffhanger, but maybe I only feel that way because I don't have to wait an eternity to watch season 2.

My favourite scene so far is episode 4(i think..) when Eleven says “bad place” and to help her cover it up the others quickly answer “Sweden! It’s horrid there. Very cold.” Made me laugh.

Also, can we talk about how Dustin is literally everything and more?? I LOVE HIM

So that’s what I’ve been up to this month, yep yep very exciting. I guess this is what’s positive about January ~ the weather gives us an excuse to stay inside and watch tv, haha. Thankfully it's almost over and then we just have to survive about two-three more months of weird PMS weather until it's rainy leather jacket weather, ahh can't wait.

To end this post on a note that isn't all too pessimistic I do love this season for all the fresh starts it gives off, kind of like a clean slate. So at least it's got that and all the TV-time going for it, always something!

What do you like about January? and what shows have you been loving lately?

Med risk av att låta som världens största pessimist så är den här tiden på året verkligen inte min favorit. Vädret går bokstavligt talat från 10+ och lite blåst till 10- och snöstorm på bara några timmar, allting känns tomt & tråkigt och tiden går i slowmotion. Men jag försöker se det från den ljusa sidan och tänker därav att stanna inomhus, dricka te och kolla igenom tv-serie efter tv-serie är en bra ursäkt att undvika vädret. 'The end of the f****ing world', 'Pretty little liars', 'That 70s show' och 'Stranger things' är serier jag älskat på senaste tiden. Gillar också januari eftersom det är en sån 'fräsch' nystart, där man sätter nya mål och reflekterar över hur man kan bli bättre osv.Vad tycker du om med januari? och vilka serier har du älskat det senaste?

2018; what to look forward to

2017 was quite the year; not all too bad but I would be lying if I said I wasn't glad to leave it behind. But instead of making a long list of all them memories and all them regrets; I'd rather look forward to things in 2018 instead! So here we gooo;

travelling. 

I already have two trips to London booked, and I am 90% sure I will be going on a trip to Spain at one point as well as to Finland! Also trying to squeeze in a weekend-trip to Scotland and perhaps one to Italy as well, but we'll see. Will definitely be traveling up to the north of Sweden at least once and I also have my friend Tasha from 'Murica coming to visit in april - so we'll probably be roadtripping all over Sweden as well!

Traveling is one of my absolute favourite things in the whole world so knowing I have so many things planned out already makes me so excited!! 

moving.

Moving away from your parents and then having to have to move back in is quite challenging, but since I did choose to move to the other side of the world directly after high school it was quite a financial must, haha. I am very blessed to have a great relationship with both my parents but nevertheless I am still STOKED about finally moving out and getting my own place. I am intending on starting a studies in the area of graphic design/communication/media this coming autumn and I am beyond excited.

It'll be kind of weird too because of the fact that my parents are moving to another city as well, so this will literally be my last time ever staying in my childhood-house and childhood-town. A very strange & nostalgic feeling but even more so an excitement to finally get the heck out of here, ha.

stop caring; take more chances.

I care far too much about what people think of me, even in the smallest of things; and I'd like to challenge myself to chill out this year. Why does it matter so much what people think of me? Why do I care? What am I even afraid of? Tbh I probably won't be able to answer that at the end of this year either(the great struggle of social anxiety, ha) - but hopefully I can at least testify to say that I did at least tried to do things this year the way I wanted to, and that I didn't limit myself because of other peoples opinions.

I think especially in my clothing style I'd like to challenge myself! I'm all about wearing black on black on black on black and tbh I love it and that probably won't change all too much either - but I am still quite into fashion & make up and love different styles too but I'm always too intimidated and scared to stand out that I never dare to try things out; so in this area I would definitely like to take more risks in 2018!

mental health & self care. 

I would like to make it more of a priority to take care of myself; and as cheesy as it sounds, do more of what makes me happy! healthy = happy.

At the end of 2017 I actually dared to ask someone to become my mentor, and even if we haven't met that many times yet I can already tell it has taught me a lot. I want this to be the year I try out therapy too; with an actual professional to talk to. It scares me to death but I know it would be so beneficial.

social media.

I am quite the internet nerd  and even though I am in charge of quite a few other social media accounts I am such a chicken when it comes to posting on my personal one. I second doubt the content, the quality, the things I write, the way I act...everything just in absolute fear of being judged or being called weird. Which is just ridiculous when it can literally be about a silly instagram post. This obviously goes in line with the stop caring point earlier; so that's basically what I need to do and practice!

I want to challenge myself to post more on all my platforms; because I do actually love social media and I think it's such a great way to be creative. Therefore I want to really start posting more to challenge myself to be more creative with my content! To film more, photograph more, write more and so on!

Aand there you have it, my 2018 goals! Have you set any goals or resolutions?

looking at 2018 like... ha

(honestly a good representation of how i feel... gazing into the future, a little doubtful, a little hopeful.., but mainly...mainly...just trying to cover up my dark circles from lack of sleep with some wannabemodelweirdass-pose)

__________

Liten lista på mina nyårslöften/mål med 2018! Lite för lat för att översätta allt (men yay för ett ambitiöst & produktivt år;) ) MEN en summering på allt är att jag vill resa en massor, flytta hemifrån, utmana mig själv att vara mer kreativ & lägga ut mer på social media, att prioritera vad jag vill & sluta överanalysera om vad andra tycker och till sist att ta hand om mig själv bättre(prioritera egentid & hälsa)! 

Har du satt några nyårslöften?
