SONDER

Hi, and welcome to my blog, whoever you are!

So I decided to start a blog, just to have a place to air and share my thoughts. 
I don't feel like writing too much about myself, but I can give you a small amount of information. I'm a 24 year old Norwegian girl who (apparently) has (more than) enough time on my hands to blog about random stuff that comes to mind. I'm into photography, music and I'm a vegetarian. I already sound like a cliché. I don't blame you if you have stopped reading by now, but I'll rather let you get to know me through my random "airing my thoughts" posts than by reading my description of myself. I find it awkward to even try to describe myself in a way that will make you want to continue reading my blog. 

I chose the name "sonder" as my blog title because I love the definition of the word. It's overwhelmingly beautiful to me, and I get sad and happy at the same time just thinking about it. 

"sonder
n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk."
