Keep it secret, keep it safe.
Gandalf
in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
There’s a part of me that likes keeping things under wraps, to not share everything on social media. (Does this count, then? hmmm).
I know it sounds counterintuitive, but I shared a hint on what I am working on when I started this blog about a year ago on the post: Friluftsliv: Free Air What? Life.
Two years ago I stumbled upon this Norwegian word: friluftsliv. It is difficult to translate into English, but it literally means free air life. Based on my recent trip to Norway, I definitely have a better understanding of this word and philosophy. Though more time would be needed to truly experience the Norwegian way of life: from the art of doing nothing tp the secret to happiness and from cozy ambient settings inside their homes which follows a trendy minimalist style, and much more.
While I enjoyed my solo adventures around Norway, I didn’t stray off the path as much as I had wanted to – unless I got lost. Getting lost wasn’t intentional, I am just directionally challenged. (But that is, more or less, a misadventure).
Indeed, I felt free; I smelled the fresh air, and I definitely felt alive.
That’s all I’ll spoil for my poetry collection. I know it’s my first update on this endeavor, but I want to thank you all for following and supporting me.

Thanks! Considering I am more inspired from the trip, I hope to have the first draft finished by end of year…maybe early next year. Then to start submitting queues and such.

But I am my own worst critic too.
