Soon I've been back in Sweden for three months, and I'm actually really happy to be back. I miss Australia every day though, and I miss all the people. Actually had a really good dream last night in which all my amazing Australian friends came to Sweden and visited. A bit sad when I woke up and realised that it hadn't happened for real, but now you know that I miss you all, even though I'm the worst at staying in touch.
So, what is it that's sooo important that I'm wasting your, and my own time on this post. I don't think it's possible that anyone of my friends have missed that I really love Australia. I had the best year in my life there, and I loved living there, but the last three-four months I wasn't feeling too well and I wanted to go back to Sweden. I was feeling tired ALL the time, I slept way too much, I didn't do anything productive during my days, and if I worked/went to class/did something else I most often went home and slept after. I even felt too tired to hang out with my friends, sorry bout that! I convinced myself that I had become crazily lazy over the past months, and that I just had to get my shit together and stop being such a crybaby. So I kept on working, kept on studying, kept on partying, kept on eating unhealthy food, and kept on living my student life.
When I'm thinking back to it, I realise that I was coughing a lot, and that maybe it's weird to never feel energetic, or refreshed when you wake up, but all your friends were living the same life and they didn't feel like that, so as the stubborn person I am I decided that I was just being lazy. When I came back to Sweden I started working out a lot, haven't even mentioned the extra student kilos me and all my friends gained.. But yeah, I worked out a lot, still feeling tired, and after a month my ears started hurting like hell. I went to the doctor, as I thought, inflammation in my ears. I don't know why but even though I went to the doctor because of my ears, and even though the doctor found what the problem was, he wanted to do a general check on me. The doctor found that I had iron deficiency, anemia (blodbrist), and this is where the real surprise came: I had pneumonia (lunginflammation) (not even sure if these terms are right), and I probably had had it for a good while. So I walked around, maybe for months, tired, believing I had a cold and was being a crybaby when in fact I had an inflammation in my lungs..
I did not write this at all for people to feel bad for me, because as said, I'm feeling as good as ever now! What I wanted to say is that I want you all to take care of yourselves. I love partying, think most of you know that as well, and partying I did. Every month, every week, for a whole year. There were people that partied harder and more than me, that are just fine and that are still going hard. I also had friends that got more serious problems from drinking. You have to be aware of that you and your body actually do have limits, and take it easy with the alcohol even though it's hard when you're young and living the student life or whatever. Also, workout! I stopped working out sometime during my year, bad decision. Try to variate your food, and don't live on pasta and alcohol, that was a bad decision as well.
But as I said, my year in Australia was the best year ever, even though I had an unhealthy life style, but there's definitely some thing I would do differently if I moved abroad again haha. So yeah, this whole post was mostly a bro-tip for people that are reading my blog, take care of yourselves and take it easy. It is definitely worth skipping a night out every once in a while, and it is worth it to spend a little bit more money on food instead of alcohol. Haha, wish someone told me these things six months ago.. I definitely have learned a thing or two the last months. I also want to say that this wasn't the case for everybody, my lovely friends that were studying fitness came home hotter and healthier than ever, but for us who are having a hard time saying no to partying: take it easy!
And now to my life in Sweden! I got myself an apartment that I love. Actually today I started on my second job, and so far so good! Also I'm working on a subway restaurant on the weekends, and I really do like it, my colleagues are great. Other than that I'm not doing too much except for working out. My life is completely different to what it was in Australia haha.
Hope you got something out of this post, because I don't even know what I've written anymore. and here's some random pictures. Cheers!
