Adventure that is life

Am I putting beads on the wrong string?

The world is a greyscale

ByRania January 3, 2023January 3, 2023

My suitcase from a trip I did a month ago is still on the bedroom floor. Dust bunnies are swirling under the bed, dancing to the tune of my neglect. The kitchen floors need a scrubbing yet when coffee escape over the edges of my cup, I wipe it with my sock.

hello and welcome!

My name is Rania

I live in a small northern town of Sweden where I work as a freelancing photographer. This journal is one of my many creative outlets. Here I will share philosophical tangents, creative projects, recipes as well as some of my photography.

It will also be about my constant drive to lead a sustainable, slow yet wild life and all that entails. This space may also contain traces of coffee and cats.

I love making them more savoury by adding fried mushrooms to the batter, maybe spinach too. Oh and it's of course extra tasty if you cook them outside over open fire. Just prepare the batter at home and bring with you in a bottle 👌🏼

Yesterday we got a huge dumping of snow again, and Yesterday we got a huge dumping of snow again, and it is beautiful out but oh how my entire being aches for spring right now. 

I cannot wait to move around freely without several layers, and for flowers to bloom in different colors and insects to buzz around. 

I'm excited to capture spring with my camera once it's here. Are you?
