When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

I’ve recently altered my offline official name to feel more in harmony with my inner feeling, I am a woman and I chose to have three given names and leave my last name/surname unaltered. So at this moment I mostly feel free and happy with taking this risk and doing what I felt was right. It was very easy changes, fill out a small online form with safe log in and other features of Norwegian systems. I did this a couple of days ago and have told several people of my new names, it’s interesting as well for me due to my blogs and writing about these topics several times before this event. Everything got more intense and unexpected reactions to my earlier posts about my history. Btw one of my names is Torunn and it’s of Norse origin meaning ‘loved by Thor’ which happens to be a close male relatives name and our family has strong tradition of Norse origin given names. I’m from Northern Norway and of mixed culture like many others here; but with more strong far-Southern Scandinavian history from regions like Agder, Rogaland county in Norway and Scania in Sweden as well as the far-Northern ethnicities like the indigenous Sámi people and strongly Kven/Finnish groups native to the region.

Thank you all for reading my blogs ❤

When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?

I enjoy online shops from Cubus, Sunkost and the pharmacy. So I sometimes go on an online shopping spree and buy both very useful and not so necessary things, and spend a lot of money on this. Recently I bought another pair of jeans, had to buy a smaller size than usual and it fit me much better. But clothes are quite expensive sometimes, I also love shoes and I have a pair of wonderful boots thst cost me 5000 Norwegian kroner and I absolutely adore them, seal hide tall boots with fur outside and wool inside they are called Amundsen and it’s Topaz brand. I’m rambling now maybe?

But I think many things are worth the risk, and same with life in general. I blog and write about dark topics every day and it’s risk involved there too. and I choose to blog and be authentic as I feel. We need to be open about mental-health conditions and adversity plus minority groups topics, plus political themes of interest to the identity and community.

Thank you for visiting my blog and happy Friday! ❤ ❤
