Twilight sleep

We need to turn our days back to normal, we need to get up in the morning and sound cheerful, and be loaded with energy. The summer in Sweden is so fucking boring, unless you´re filled up with expectations and own a wallet filled with valuable small papers. Seems everyone´s so fucking rich in this country, except for me and my friends, and the increasing bunch of people with sickness and unhealth.

This states of minds open doors to violence and destructive actions, the other day my friend said, "there is only a matter of time before we have a pupil with a gun, in a school close to us, using it". Only a matter of time, this country is going fast and faster into something we´ve never seen before. People in Sweden feel they are always protected, nothing bad could ever happen here, only this weekend youngsters tried to burn down our school, parts of the building is just gone... just like that, they were probably just bored, cause all the shops and funny places were closed, and most of the well situated families visited the countryside, or the parents lay in their beds with severe hangover from celebrating the midsummer. Young boys riding scooters, rob old ladies walking in the parks. Students use drugs, and the mothers find them dead in their beds in the morning, it´s among us, wake up, give a shit!

We have to turn our days back to normal, we have to raise in the morning, not sleep until twilight.

  1. Is the whole world going to hell? I keep wanting to run away to a different country for a while, but I don't see any good options. It seems that everything everywhere is going downhill fast and there's nothing I can do to slow it down, let alone stop it. I think that even if we turned our days back to normal, it would be too late to do anything. We would just stop and stare, dumbfounded by the horrible state of our global society. Perhaps I'm just feeling particularly negative right now though...

  2. I guess every country has its bad things and its good things, to live in Sweden I believe is quite alright, society is still taking care, gives you a home and an opportunity to survive. It still doesn´t always give you a life though, just survival, and that might be good enough if you compare with most other places.

    The violence in the street becomes rougher and increases, but it´s not yet like in the big cities around the world. Only we are not use to it.

    People here take care of their own very strictly, that means that foreigners very often don´t stand a chance when trying to make friends.
    Also, that depends in what kind of place you live and it differs a lot.
