The OLD – NEW – OLD Ingrid!!

Does everybody (who knows me) remember the HAPPY person that I used to be??? Self confident, adventurous, independent, able to solve problems, tough, full of hope, sociable and who most of the times used to know what I wanted from life and how to get it?? Well, that person was almost gone. I went through a very rough time… full of sadness, loneliness, confusion, fear and the most horrible dependence, just a terrible feeling that made me think that I wasn’t able to do anything by myself anymore. I was just feeling absolutely helpless and lost. Then I spent a lot of time trying to find out what did I want and trying to plan my life, but it didn’t work and I started to feel worse. I just couldn’t understand why most of the people that I know can have this long term plan of life and even if at the end they don’t stick to it, at least they have one… finally some days ago I understood that I am just different. I cant work with a long term thing because I get bored very easy and because I prefer to allow my self to make all kind of spontaneous changes, take risks and have a bit more of freedom! For most of the people this could be seen as irresponsibility, but it seems to work for me!! So I’ve decided to go back to the OLD Ingrid, who I personally like more and go back to living my life in a day-by-day basis and I am feeling way better now. I think that a big part of the problem was that I wanted to be like the rest of the people and dream about a family and a house and think more about the future. However, I’m just not at that level yet. I dream about different things and if there is something that I can’t force, those are it. I think “tomorrow” I'll probably be dreaming about all that and making plans about the future and then I’ll be happy doing it and taking all those responsibilities. As of now I just want to go little by little and enjoy my life as much as I can. By making short-term plans and trying to accomplish them and make small sacrifices to get what I want!!
I just wanted to share my feelings with all of U!! Any advice is very welcome…

I am feeling SO lonely, that I can’t stand it…
Today I’m sick, I have an awful stomachache, and I am completely alone as sad as it sounds… COMPLETELY alone, to the point that if I die, unless someone calls, no one would discover it.
What an awful sensation, why is it been so hard to be away from home this time??And it isn’t the physical pain, is more the feeling what makes me so sad.
I wish so much that some; at least one of my friends was here with me, or my mom, my mom, that’ll be the best!

Our Scandinavian trip!!!

On the December 23rd: Chris arrived to Copenhagen, we stayed at Lucas’s house, made our little Christmas tree and put all our presents around it.

Xmas was just GREAT; Ingrid made an amazing Dinner (Chris helped too!) Then we opened presents and it was very cool that we both like our presents (nothing to change or give back…)

On the 25th we took an overnight cruise to OSLO where we stayed in a very nice hotel that we found on the Internet for less than a hostel. Norway is a very expensive country; we paid about 25 EUR ($30) for two basic Burger King ‘value meals’.

On the 27th we took a two hour OUTDOOR boat cruise along the breath-taking fjords in -5 C (20 F) weather. Afterwards we arrived to Bergen (amazing city) where we ate the famously stinky yet traditional lutefisk and the perplexing red meat of a whale! Views from atop Bergen’s funicular were spectacular.

The next day we traveled to Ålesund, which is the only Art Nouveau style city in Norway, the landscape on the way there was incredibly beautiful. However the city, despite being very unique from the rest of Norway was interesting, but nothing special. We decided to leave slightly ahead of schedule to make some time for Hellesylt, which was a great idea! We arrived to a very small town, surrounded by mountains and frozen waterfalls.

We caught an overnight bus to Oslo, and finally a plane back to Copenhagen on the 31st. We had to run to catch the Christmas cabaret in Tivoli Park followed by a nice dinner. New Years Eve was brought in at Copenhagen’s beautiful City Hall Square, but had flashbacks of a war when the fireworks started to get out of control.

On New Years day we took it easy and went to the movies.
the next day, we made a two-day trip all the way to Goteborg, Sweden Going over Europe’s longest and very new tunnel Bridge Oresund, which connects Copenhagen to Malmö.

We really had a great time!!!If you want to see some GREAT pics click HERE
