Recent book buys

Matched, Crossed and Reached by Ally Condie 

Divergent, Insurgent and Allegiant by Veronica Roth

The Maze Runner by James Dashner

Requiem by Lauren Oliver

For some reason I got the craving to buy stupid amounts of books this month. I haven't felt that need for a while, but it just kicked in after I finished reading Divergent in Danish, and then I saw the English book set was cheaper to get than just the two follow up books. And then I somehow managed to buy 7 books. Sean gave me Requiem as an 4 year anniversary present, because I've been meaning to finish the Delirium trilogy but never got around to it. Do you have any book recommendations?

ALSO! I just finished Allegiant which means I'm done with the Divergent series and I actually cried. I cried hard. But read it, it's bloody amazing.

Something about happiness

I'm not a very happy person. I was as a child but as I grew older, it's not natural to me to just feel happy. I can seem bubbly but it's more as a cover. I want to make you believe I'm fine, even if I'm not. And lately, I haven't been very happy.

Losing Buller is very hard. He was my best friend, he was my safety. He would cuddle up to me when I was really anxious and lick away the tears. He would be silly and goofy and make me laugh on days I thought I couldn't even smile. He was there when I was alone home and very scared. I don't do well alone, especially not in the evening. And my mum works evening shifts and my brother goes out and then it's just me.

On top of that, some personal stuff has gone a step back. I'm not sure what's going to happen now, maybe a lot of therapy to learn to control my anxiety, who the fuck even knows. And it scares the living shit out of me. I don't like not knowing what's going to happen.

Sean came on the 8th, though. After 8 shitty months apart. And he was my happiness for a bit. Of course I still got very upset sometimes and I had a panic attack or two. But he was there to comfort me. To motivate me. We went for walks to get some air and just get out, things I can't do myself or used to do with my dog. He made me laugh and remind me that I deserve to feel happy too.

And it made me think, a lot of people don't think they deserve to feel happy. To be happy. But you do. You deserve to do something that makes you happy. If it's seeing a person you're close to, watching a film that's special to you, making some kick ass mac and cheese (or any kind of delicious food you love) or simply just turn off all technology, light some candles and read a good book alone in your bed. You deserve that time to relax and feel a bit of happiness.

Sean unfortunately had to go back to England yesterday. As little as I wanted it to happen. I miss him terribly. I'm a bit scared, but it comforts me that this time we'll "only" be 1½ months apart before a long summer.

Happy Easter by the way! Hope you can spend it with someone you love. I'm going to my grandma's house tonight for delicious food, I'm a teeny bit excited for that.

Wooden jewellery hanger

I've been too much into interior and especially raw wooden items lately. I came across this on a tumblr post and then dragged Sean out for a walk to find a branch. And it was piss easy to make.

You'll need:

• A branch
• Nails and a hammer
• Some string

How you do it:
Find out where you want to place the nails. When you hammer them in, make sure the nails are going a bit upwards, so when you put on the jewellery, it won't just slip off. Carefully hammer in the nails, make sure they don't go through the branch. Now measure out some string, rather too long than too short, you can always cut some off. Wrap it around the branch a few times and make sure the knot are on top of the branch, so it won't dangle downwards. Now put a nail in the desired placement, hang it up and start putting jewellery on it!

I hope that could inspire some of you for new ways to store and display jewellery. I'm in love with mine at least!

I lost my best friend today. He got ill again and we knew it was time. It was peaceful and I'm glad he's out of pain. Wait for me, baba. Jeg elsker dig.
