What does the title mean? I will try my best to answer it.. somewhat well!

My iPod touch device is my best music friend, I’ve had it for over 10 years as my place of escape from the Darkness and the haven for Light in life. That may sound a bit much, but it’s true. So I get especially excited when it’s been a long time not hearing the tracks and playlist and when I get the new music mix from YouTube at end of year.

It lets me be somewhere else when it gets too heavy in other areas of life, I’m mentally ill and autistic so the experience really saves my days in ways I cannot do justice to with words.

And it’s also so diverse in different electronic music genres from dubstep, drum&bass, hardstyle, psytrance and gabber etc. I have some metal music on the device as well, I’m making room for it so I can listen being on a road trip with someone else driving (I have epilepsy, so I cannot really be driver of the car) and I truly love listening when we see the natural environments of our journey. The trip is both literal travel and emotional exploration.

I need music in everyday living, it’s also because I mostly think in lyrics and associated features of music and creative writing. A song comes to mind and I use them to understand what’s going on inside and connection with other people and the greater consciousness beyond the personal aspects, the spiritual side of my experience.

So this is what got me excited most recently, I live for the music; it’s often what gets me through any hardship or difficulties and very importantly also what enhances my joy and faith in life.

Question/prompt; what is your favourite time of day?

I like the twilight hours during Čakčadálvi season, or like autumn-winter in English. I like twilight hours because they are special when the dark times, the polar nights are near. We celebrate the sun Light returning around late January or some slightly later in winter. I live in Finnmark county, Arctic location in the far-Northern region of Norway. I feel connection with early morning as well, when I was born it was right after sunrise in late summer.

I’m connected with the Sun from my strongly Leo influenced astrology, in sidereal astrology system I’m a quadruple Leo. I like writing about astrology and my own traits like my fire inside, the warmth of physical nature and the fighter spirits of my ancestors passed down through generations of several different Finnish cultures. I’m a Kven and I’m learning our language from a type of basic level language courses soon. I already have the books for education and I’m looking forward to meeting other Kven people.

I am also a Sámi person and I’m register within samemanntallet, I just very recently voted (forhåndsstemming) in the elections this year; both in Stortingsvalget and in Sametingets valg. I’m not saying exactly what I voted, but I’m a hard left-leaning person with anarchist values. And I’m city Sámi of culture, so I’m not involved in reindeer husbandry or any livestock farming.

And thank you for reading my blogs ❤

The last thing I got excited about?

Finding new music, my iPod and online living. Or my episodes of drunk shopping with the very intoxicated conversations. Or seeing a bright, vivid rainbow in the sky the other day.

All are real reasons to be excited about for, we all get our fire from many different type fuels and we still move forward with the power of will.

Thank you for reading ❤

Note: medical conditions and information, somewhat possibly upsetting health topics.

As I mention on other blog last year I really want autism-friendly areas of town where autistic people like myself can feel welcome and more comfortable being. I would also prioritize other disabled people needs and wishes, I really feel like society must adapt to the blind persons and wheel chair users. I’ve been using wheel chair after some of my leg surgery, I am very thankful they had one at the shopping mall for people in need of having this aid. I would also have easy bathroom access for elderly and people suffering from loss of control of the function of the body. Everyone matter to our society and the need for the many disabled people in Norway still is far from good enough.

Thank you for reading ❤

Note: about my old birth given names.

My first of three given names is Torunn. But I used to have another first given name, that I will not directly reveal. It also began with the letter T and is of Norse origin like Torunn. But I didn’t like my name growing up being bullied for my ‘old aunts name’ so recently I chose my real core names, including Torunn. Old name means ‘Peace’ or ‘beauty for’ (a particular Norse mythology god). So I wished to have a different name in my childhood and youth years. Only now at 32 years old I changed to my true name, and it’s also an ‘old aunts name’ in my generation just much more uncommon than the other name.

My former second given name was Johanne and it’s Hebrew origins meaning ‘god is gracious’ or ‘mercy of God’. One of my great-grandmother name was Johanne, she was from the Valley and a true Kven/Sámi/Finnish ethnicity woman.

So those are my old given names and they are still mine even after the name change, part of my history and identity of youth and roots.

Thank you for listening ❤

Yes, that is the meaning of my name Ingvild. My own foremothers struggle. And it’s so true to my family research passion, plus my interest in roots of my own life story. My mother had intended to name me Ingvild when I was born. I think my father may also agreed to it, but I got a different name. So I chose it. Again.

I’m autistic/an Aspie and it matter to my writing. I like to mention always my background, I will apologize for repeating words and topics. I’m also Norwegian speaking, but my silly Norwenglish is, however, quite good 🤭😂💖💕

In addition I recently changed my name to feel more comfortable and genuine in my identity. I have currently three given names, and all of them are of Norse origin. I’m a Sámi girl and I feel like my names are ‘Sámi enough’ names for my deep roots in the Arctic region.

Some info on my sidereal astrology and strong liking for many types of beverages, different off-topic from this particular dailyprompt:

I do some deep inner work related to my ancestors adversity being of ethnic minority groups and my own shame from youth years related to my moderate-severe degree case (I’m since officially diagnosed in 2010 at age 17) of Asperger syndrome and other conditions being target of bullies and other abuse. Yes, I’ve been nearly broken and I’m still deeply wounded in some quite profound ways. I’m a quadruple Leo of 12th house as I’ve said before with a Scorpio sign Moon in 4th house and I love drinking cold beverages like iced tea, the Battery energy drinks of Finland and rusbrus/alcopop plus hard (alcohol-containing) cider. I also enjoy hot tea like Earl Grey and herbal tea like the calming nature lavender and chamomille types.

So that’s something about my name Ingvild. Ancestors battle and deep spiritual needs for knowing my roots, where I really feel at home.

Thank you for reading my blog post ❤

answer to dailyprompt-2037

One of my other names is Synnøve from Norse and it means ‘sun gift‘ or ‘gift of the Sun‘. I’m an August child and a strong Leo sign in astrology, up to four placements in Leo.

My Sun, Rising/Ascendant, Mercury and Chiron in Leo within 12th house. My Moon in late Scorpio to late Sagittarius, in 4th house. (Quad Leo in sidereal system, in the usual tropical system a double Virgo) and I feel like more of a lioness than a Maiden. But the Virgo is there, I’m quiet and very sensitive to my environment.

Leo sign is ruled by the Sun, I live in Arctic region Norway and we have months of all-day twilight or darkness in winter season. Plus Midnight sun during summer time, the Sun never sets!

Do I feel like a Synnøve? Absolutely yes!

I’m also a proud Kven; the roots of the Finnish forests, our family fighter spirits and silent inner strenght.

Bold and loving. Silent, fierce, and with very deep feelings.

thank you for visiting my blog and I hope your days are good ❤ ❤

Daily writing prompt

What motivates you?

View all responses

Yes, I love dubstep. I did listen even before most other non-British people knew about it. But I was already into many different electronic dance music genres in my mid and late teenage years, so that might be reasons along with it was just so fucking cool.

Faen altså, jeg lever på grunn av musikken jeg føler meg sterkere med. Uansett hva som skjer og har skjedd med meg i livet mitt, er dubstep alltid allerede tilstede og bare venter å bli hørt på.

The dubstep gives me a strong motivation so I actually feel it deep inside, that inspire my own expression of some powerful energy and determination. I’m serious, it’s everything. The bassline and the different mood lyrics, the drops and all the things I never experience in other areas of life; I don’t go to party with my (mostly middle aged) friends, I most often don’t drink alcohol in these settings and I’m genuinely very happy in my own company.

Thanks for listening (pun intended)

answer to dailyprompt-2037

My name is Torunn and it comes from Norse mythology/origin. I means ‘loved by Tor/Thor’ and I have close male relatives with this Norse mythology name for the god of thunder. And I’m not any fearful of thunder and lightning, I feel energy from thunderstorm. So I’m quite strong inside in addition, it’s no other way to effectively cope with severe psychosis and Asperger syndrome, in my case at least that’s true.

Note: About psychoactive medications and intensity of emotions. Mental illness. And my astrology!

The positive emotion I feel most often is the type of ecstasy that’s a mix of dreaming and belief in life being both wonderful and very intense. I live with severe pain and mental illness, I have the condition schizoaffective disorder in my case a psychotic disorder with depression and mania.

My opiate medication is a part of my everyday life, it can give me a very nice deep comfortable feeling sometimes.

And in combination with my caffeine stimulant drinks it’s not only pleasant, but more effective in pain relief. I’m letting you guess the strenght of my opiate painkillers, but it’s a low dose. ‘I want a girl with lips like morphine’ the thing that lyrics, knock me out again.. yes. I am a bisexual/lesbian woman and an Aspie.

The Asperger syndrome is moderate-severe in degree, I’m also a Leo, Virgo and Sagittarius with strong Pluto in Scorpio influence in astrology systems. 12th house and 4th house is where my Sun and Moon and Pluto are placed. Venus in Cancer sign within 11th house.

I’m currently feeling a mix of emotions, both guilt and being very strong within myself. I also don’t believe in that emotions are good or bad, they are all part of life and without dark times things get very complicated to deal with.

Thanks for reading, my fellow terrestrial beings ❤

That’s a strange title, right? Please read my other answer on different blog, it’s brighter and more fun except the title. I needed to write something about the Darkness of society. And salty wizard!

Warning: dark topics at times

I get motivation from energy drinks and the psytrance music. I listen less to psytrance these days because of the land of much debate actions in the country toward the innocent groups of people and the horrors. I cannot stay silent forever, it’s important to mention this on blog.

I love the salte trollmann song. It’s in a foreign language so they are misheard lyrics create from my mind, I’m a mentally ill woman with a case of moderate-severe Asperger syndrome. And I’m also Norwegian speaking, with influence from Finnish/Kven and North Saami language.

Okay, so some of my motivation comes from caffeine and stimulants and others my most favourite music and not to ever forget the lyrics.

Thanks for listening ❤

Black metal, white tea

Yes, I enjoy writing for several reasons. But it gets a very useful habit for clarity, insights into my thoughts and feelings in written word and the aspects of connection with other people across vast distances. I guess that’s a big part of why I write for others to read, I write for myself and for all who listen/read something I put together within my mental space for this blog.

I cannot recall the name of some insightful films I was watching with my core being immersive in the plot and symbolism. I have written about the following on other blog. But some of my most favourite movies I can remember name of are:

Kautokeino rebellion 2008 Nils Gaup

Why? My ancestors lived in Kautokeino during the real uprising in year 1852, I identify as Sámi and our Norwegian supremacist teacher made us watch this movie many many times in our school lessons. The religion and the alcohol use, the children in the film. It’s also interesting from a more visual and emotional way of creating the environment. I read that the actors were in particular conditions that made it unique, even difficult filming.

Pathfinder/Veiviseren 1987 Nils Gaup

Why? Classic Norwegian film with beautiful winter environment and interesting story, and as I mention in other blog the blue eyes of the main character of Sámi actor Mikkel Gaup made it special to me. I liked the feeling of watching something truly great, story from long lost times. Plus my aunt actually knew him from 1980s.

Psycho 1960 Alfred Hitchcock

Why? Classic movie of psychological thrillers, the mental madness and I just remember the feeling first time I watch through the real film. I’m diagnosed with severe mental illness and I feel dark at times, even on effective treatments.

The Birds 1963 Alfred Hitchcock

Why? It was so scary with the birds. I have great respect for birds and after seeing this film even more so. We cannot control nature and we must be careful in our actions.

A Complete Unknown 2024 James Mangold

Why? I liked the music, the time in the 1960s, the story was interesting and I watch it at the cinema with my close family members together. The way Bob Dylan never did stop despite the difficulties in life. The different women in his social musical political environment. And I like the immersive nature of watching something I could relate to with my ears.

Ellos Eatnu 2023 Ole Giæver

Why? This really hit home with me, the political, environmental and indigenous struggles of my generation. The main actress is just a few years younger than me. The acting, the Sámi language and Northern Norwegian culture. The identity and human rights, the environment and the pain. I want mention my own grandparents were a part of the activism for this important cause. And it’s not long ago the late 1970s to early 1980s in Finnmark county also, where many of my ancestors lived and many of my living family as well.

Thank you all for reading ❤

I’ve lived in different places in Northern Norway my entire life. Nordland, Troms and Finnmark counties. Always north of the Arctic circle and I’m Norwegian speaking with strong Southern influence on everything, my mix of Northern and Southern is what makes identity police angry they want people to fit neatly into some type of uniform shape, a box with a label on.

Oh, I forgot the question.

Yes, what I love about where I live is our diverse landscape and the wild sea, our Northern type fjords and the big mountains, the forests of pine and birch tree. This is true for every place I’ve lived in, including my current home town. The Light changes, the cold winter days, the summer time Midnight sun and now autumn is coming.

and the people are different here, we don’t take everything so serious and we have the unique sense of humor that the Capital City regions persons or from other (Norwegian ethnicity) culture don’t understand well.

I care about our ethnic minority languages and cultures, even the ones I have no connection to. I know no Forest Finns or Jews, but every minority should be respected and heard.

My mind is a maze, Maze river dam, I’ll have a Sámi general physician some time in the future. I’m on a waiting list.

Btw have I mentioned that I have schizoaffective disorder?

Jimmy Eat World – Pain

What I enjoy most about writing is it takes my pain away, takes me to another world where things are different. It’s not escape in that way, it’s travel. I like writing in any mood, but my words arrive when I feel inspired by something I care a lot about, my passion and fire inside. Through pain and ecstasy, extremes of emotions and mental state. My schizoaffective bring a different view to life, it’s really dark often and I take medications for it. I’m thankful for my experience because it’s what I have that no one can take away from me, I learn from every day.

Note: I currently live in Finnmark county, but I spend most of my childhood and youth years in different places in Northern parts of Nordland county.

The Mountains of Nordland are beautiful place to be, I remember in Narvik municipality being on many outdoor school mountain trips with my classmates and other peers. Usually my classmates were bullying me a lot, but on these trips they didn’t bully me almost at all.

I loved the beaches. We had so much interesting experiences out in nature environments with our school trips and in my free time after school I spent hours alone in outside. I remember with pure ecstasy what it was like being twelve years old looking up at the clear night sky with the Northern Lights, the powerful Spirit in the Sky.

The people are open and honest, the culture of being a good student that other Northern Norwegian culture doesn’t value as highly. But to be honest it’s a difficult topics, I had really hard times living in Nordland because of my different cultural background and my still undiagnosed moderate-severe Asperger syndrome.

To end this post I’ll just say this;

I love Nordland still to this day 🇧🇻❤️❄️🫂

Yes, all powerful and delicate feeling is worth to be experienced including the darkest times. They all have their use in our lives, I’ve learned through living with my mental illness and adversity how vast this inner universal story is, what they mean for my health, well-being and healing process.

The life isn’t complete without dark side or missing the Light, we are strongly reminded of this fact living in the Arctic North of Midnight sun and polar nights, of the unique natural environment here. 

I’m serious to fully cherish and appreciate my emotional life, there are no ‘bad’ emotions and the nuanced perspective is useful to me to cope with mental illness, adversity, different types of neurological conditions and pain.

Nothing can break me, and being open to my real feelings helps me every day to move forward. Even if it hurts in several ways it’s still useful.

Thank you for listening ❤

Professions I admire include genuine musicians of any genres, mental-health workers and therapist, tradition of reindeer herding, teachers and those who work in the Darkness. I admire any work that is done from the heart. Writer, poetry and visual art. So many people to mention but it means we all do something to admire.

Aspergian perspective on life in this battle, my heritage in pleasant and painful experiences.

Ingvild said nothing, but heard everything.

And yes, I’m thinking of something when I chose the image. An aspect that’s profoundly strong within.

Note: not the drug per se, but the mental state of moving beyond the ordinary mind and emotions.

It’s about the range and intensity, I feel it with my entire being. The music is the main part and true to myself I like drinking with my favourite music. I play on my sound system or on my old iPod touch device. I need music and lyrics to function well, my mind gets a lot of fuels from this unique activity. Btw, I’m from Norway. So back to the emotions again, it’s true ecstasy.

No drug can be exactly as magical as this state of being, natural intensity and range of emotional life. I feel any emotions on level very deep within me. I’m a 4th house Moon in a fire sign, specific Sagittarius, or very late degree Moon in Scorpio, and my Sun sign and Rising depending on system is double Leo or double Virgo.

I always like to mention astrology because I feel it describes my world very well from within, the good times reading something someone thought or was feeling about profound topics and type life philosophy are some of my favourite parts of living online life.

Deep level connection with something greater than myself, the spiritual origins of my ancestors and national identity. I’m a happy girl today. Nothing can stop my passion, I’m a fighter spirit with strong roots. I went through my darkest days yet and I’m still here, loving this life.

Thank you for visiting this blog, I hope it was worth the read ❤

I don’t know why but it bothers me sometimes how it’s used for everything

It’s kind of difficult understand what they mean, i often wonder what they could say instead

Btw, (my favourite word here, so often used) this is commonly used word in Norway at least many places I have lived. And in media, online conversations.

Thank you for reading ❤

Psychiatric emergency, yes. You really need to have enough medications for at least two weeks forward and keep the refills up to date. I needed an oxazepam today because of my psychotic anxiety getting very strong. But yes the part of psychiatry and mental health well-being is very important. Someone to speak with and trust in the darkest moments, some light during hard times. I’m wondering if the image is decent or very inappropriate.

My ancestors were many of ethnic minorities in Scandinavia and Finland, including the Sámi and the Kven people. On my Southern Scandinavian side there are Romani Traveller roots with dark history of discrimination just like the Sámi and Kven people were targets of, just even worse.

So my point is our ancestors languages are in danger of disappearing from use if we don’t do something to keep it in daily conversations, in music and in writing.

We are fighter spirits and never give up. Let us honour that fire inside and speak with pride again.

My dreams are my life, there is clarity in the morning after a series of vivid scenes and the powerful plots. Of real danger and of pure joy.

Btw I’m for some reason feeling really cold, maybe it’s early autumn/Čakčageassi temperature rainfall? I want to sleep in a true bedroom soon on a cozy comfortable bed, not on sofa in the living room with window open. I don’t know if I should share much more about my life to strangers I don’t know reading.

But this is about dreaming, and it does matter a lot with the 12th house placements in astrology. I’m a 12th house Sun and a 4th house Moon in most astrology house systems, the fire element very strong. 12th house and Neptune, escape. I write about my dreams, of my roots, in more ways than one. I’m on a healing path now, writing about dreams for a very good reason.

I love melodic black metal, the different feeling within lyrics of many music genres. Music is my life, my life-line through any storm.

I hope your nights are good; like the days are bright, the nights can shine from the Darkness illuminated by awareness.

Note/warning: difficult topic.

This topic is so painful, but it’s honestly a forgotten groups that really make very important impact for children suffering from abuse and adversity. I thank every good therapy professions for their hearts and the mind working to save the children in pain.

I don’t want to reveal much about my experiences but I’ve lived through difficult times in childhood and youth years. I’m a psychiatric patient with severe mental illness and autism spectrum. And good-natured therapist are actual angels on Earth.

Thank you for listening ❤

Schizophrenic mind writing about faith and smartphone.

I believe in having faith in life, it’s important part of my philosophy. I’m a spiritual oriented person and I find meaning in little things also, like the comfort of hot tea on cold day. I enjoy the English Tea shop brand of different tea I had the pure white earlier today. I carry my faith in everyday living, I contemplate on life in my quiet space at home. But without my phone I cannot keep my current lifestyle the same. I like being able to look up something immediately after I remember. I enjoy writing blogs and my smartphone is a way to write easily in any settings. I wish to be useful to the World out there I can give insight to our culture and my experiences with different conditions and adversity. I drink a bit too much alcohol containing cider but it’s been several days without them, I have a couple energy drinks instead. I love energy drinks and iced tea.

Thank you all for visiting ❤

I’m talking about me and my strong imagination, the reality of being both a true proud Leo and a humble Virgo in one woman. And this girl liked that girl, too. My first true love was a wonderful young woman that saw who I truly am, saw through my defense from pain and hurt. 

I have experience a lot of hard times through my illness and cruel people, but I still love life and the people in it 🫂💙 I want everyone to feel it, the connection with someone far away that truly cares about them 🇧🇻❤️‍🔥

Love from the North ☀️❤️
