I'm searching for the light and the brightness of the human spirit. People who's made it through a crisis and are now standing tall. My own story is that I've been struggling with depression for most of my life and now I'm quitting school to prioritise self-realisation. I need all the help and all the light i can get. Do you know anybody who has been through major trauma like an ugly divorce, having close family members being drugaddicts, a serious accident where physical trauma was considerable, disease, loss etc. Someone who previously struggled to find happiness and that was really struggling to find their way back into the love and into the trust again, and finally had the forces of the universe back on their side. <3 :)

Can you please get us in contact? I only want to meet people that came through the trauma, and found another life, a happier, more confident, more authentic, more at ease and more true life :)

I am making a documentary, where I need all the help I can get. I would prefer to have someone with me but so far no one has fell out of the sky, but I keep my eyes open. I am setting everything aside to come visit people all over Europe and interviewing them about their experience.
Any tips or contact information of people matching my description will be hugely appreciated <3 <3

What I Can Share with Hosts

My human experience. Having addicts and mental illness in my closest family I've learned some valuable lessons. As well as being ill myself for many years with chronic fatigue syndrom and chronic muscular pains and depression . The "bad" stuff is just as valuable as the "good" stuff in life, but I come from a culture that hardly appreciate this fact and prefer to keep quiet. I want to laugh and love, cry and sob, dance and move with nothing to prove. I want real moments, the hard core presentness everyday but oh so special moments. People in Oslo (Norway) are so not present.

Traveling, serving others, how I overcame my illness, how I learned to cope. I love wild plants that you can eat, I love psychology, I love space, I love philosophy, I love meditating, animals, weird films and folk music.
I am a loving, present, curious person that values what everybody has to teach me. :)

But I need to connect. Be mindful.
