A Latin phrase meaning "blank slate". To me it means starting over and that is what this blog is gonna be all about - starting life a new! For some starting over can mean changing the way you eat, exercise more or change once cognitive behaviour. I have tried all of the above... several times... but it always ended me up flat on my back. I have fought myself out of depression, anorexia, never finding my one true love, stagnation, captivity and bitterness... and still... no happiness?! Like a character from a video game you goof around with, I have been bumping into that concrete wall over and over and over again not understanding why I could not get anywhere. Until that very same wall came tumbling down on me. My revelation came then and there. Pinned down in a dark, impenetrable hole I "saw the light".

It's a bit of an irony that one of the first things I do in a new country is to be the most typical swede you can be. But if there's anything from my native country I truly love, it's...

I find strangers spellbinding and a random weirdo approaching me from time to time (within a safe environment) has led to some amazing stories that I am going to share with you now. Los Angeles airport, 2012. I was traveling alone on my way back to Sweden and had sat down to grab some lunch before take off.
