31-day writing challenge Day 1

 Hi! So for the month of August, I will try to do a daily post of a certain topic. Today`s topic is "describe your personality".

The thing I like about people, is how different we are. I am a stubborn girl and I have been my whole life. I stand up for myself and what I believe in, but I also stand up for others if I see it fit. As you can imagine, that goes along with my honesty and my ability to communicate my opinions. It is very important for me to include others and make others feel welcomed and cared for.

Another part of my personality is the creative part. I have lots of ideas, sometimes original, and sometimes not. I am flexible and sometimes spontaneous; or at least I used to be. I am a person with a lot of ambitions and big dreams- perhaps too big dreams?

I love to travel and explore the world. I am very adventurous and I love to try all kinds of foods although I`m a picky eater, and the more different cultures I can learn about, the more intrigued I am.

As a 26 year old, I know I am in that age for where we learn more about ourselves and what we want in life. I got diagnosed with chronic fatigue in January, and even though that is not a part of my personality, it has become a big part of my life. But since I got the diagnose, I actually have learned more about myself. I have and are still trying to learn how to balance when I need to take breaks and when I can push myself further. I have learned how to take better care for myself and how important that is. I have learned how to managed stress, thoughts and feelings better. And I am still learning everyday.

To finish of, I thought I could share some fun facts about myself. (Another important thing to know about me, is that I LOVE making lists. Lists for everything. I want to make a bucket list/things to do before I die with 500 things-currently on 170 and also my fun fact list, contains 100 facts, but I`m not sharing that many today).

Some fun facts about me:

- I have trypophobia

- I am 25% Danish

- I am a germophobe

- I love Coca Cola and drink it almost everyday

- There is a lot of Norwegian foods I have never tried (brunost, makrell i tomat, leverpostei, fårikål/mutton cabbage, smalahove)

- I love to sing and when I was a child I wanted to become a singer when I grew up

- I have performed in a musical

- I have been the director for a theater play

- I have travelled to 15 countries so far

- I lived one year in Melbourne, Australia
