Staying ahead of the cold facts



This blog has been asleep for a while. But I’m gonna try to wake it up, just a bit, just as long as there’s something on my mind I’d like to convey. Because this blog is dedicated to you, Kristian, and it’s not like there’s nothing to say and it shouldn’t even look like it. 

I haven’t read some of your recent posts but I will from now on. And I will always try to give a comment on what you said. Maybe it’s useless. Maybe it’s gonna be just talking without actually being listened or read. But let’s say I need this. And it seems a lot of people do, too. They feel they should say something. Because every time I read what you write I feel like doing something, I want to say something even if it didn’t make any sense to you in particular. 

The last post you write, Steget fore kalla fakta, and also a few ones before made me wonder “Who the hell is he?” because I realized I had no idea. This might not be surprising to you. But the fact is, your face talks and your pure existence talks and I didn’t realize things aren’t what they seem. I thought I had a sort of idea of who you are but... 

No, I have no idea. In fact, I don’t think I personally know anyone like you. Your attitude towards your situation is something which makes me wonder all the time. What would I do? No, I wouldn’t be like you. That’s what I know. My life is different and so is my experience. My hopes and expectations are not like yours.
Still, I care what’s happening to you, I wanna know and I want it all for you. Why can’t you just have it? I believe you deserve it. I believe it’s in you. To do things right. To have life and write about it for the people who don’t.
You don’t really tell stories. Or at least not simple ones. You create images of who you are. Like pictures. Like a music video. It’s not a movie, it’s a feeling. I really like that.
You are also the kind of person who talks and is silent at the same time. Like two people in one. Because you don’t say it all. I couldn’t re-tell what you talk about in a few clear points. But you are capable of saying strong things. Things that surprise me. Things I would never tell to anyone. You say them. And remain a mystery in spite of that.
I am aware I probably wouldn’t agree with you on most things.  I know now that I will probably never get the chance to talk to you in person and see for myself who you are. But for now let me say I like you anyway and I want you to stay for how long life’s gonna be liveable.
