Move in the shadows

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

“Keep moving in the
shadows babe’s”
– Charlotte Dobre

That is exactly what I am doing. I’m just moving in the shadows. Not telling anyone around me my plans, ideas, thoughts, etc. (those I haven’t told don’t know about my blog), and honestly, it feels so good. Not having to worry about judgments, arguments, etc.

Keeping my weight loss journey, the education, and my mental health away from certain people makes life so much easier. Knowing how they would behave, react, laugh, be mean, etc., wouldn’t help me keep going.

Today I have actually studied! Yes, it’s true! I have even sent in three assignments! Now I only need to do the rest of the assignments, and I will be on the same level as the class. Oh, who am I? Haha!

Today has also been an energy-stealing-upsetting-mode day. This came a few hours after I studied. 

I have cried. I became insecure about stuff, and I couldn’t shake it off. Millions of thoughts, tears, music and and screams inside my head. When I saw E’s face when opening the door and he said, “Hello, friend,” everything went away for a bit. I’m in bed, and it has come back, but this time, I’ll fight it.

REGRETS

I shouldn’t have eaten that sausage now before bed, or in general. Having toast (grain bread) and a slice of sausage on the toast made the calorie scale go above the limit for the day. Like, excuse me? Apparently, the bread I’m eating isn’t healthy either! Even though it says it is and the ingredients are healthy, I guess I was wrong. Also, my breakfast All-Bran flakes aren’t healthy either… So I need to Google what safe foods are and what’s OK to eat while on a weight loss journey.

It’s Monday, and I’m just a few days in on the new weight loss path I’m on, so I’m not worried. I will try harder and learn more about nutrition, healthy and unhealthy foods, hidden sugars, etc., so I can achieve my goals. 

Weight loss journey talk here

Today I tried “normal” food—hash browns—for dinner, and knowing how much fat is in them and knowing how the pan would look after they had been in the oven, I wasn’t so tempted to eat them, but I had to eat. My blood sugar was getting low. Seeing how the pan looked like after they were done, I couldn’t eat more than three of them. I made five each (15 in total) due to them not being big (they are small).

Today in list

  • power nap- 1h
  • studied for 3h
  • sent 3 assignments to my teachers
  • dinner > 3 hash browns w/ lingonberry jam (which I regret)
  • “Hello friend!” makes me smile every time
  • regrets
  • insecurities & tears

I apologize for writing this post all jumpy on different subjects. My brain isn’t functioning right now due to a massive headache, so I’m actually just going to try to get some sleep before E comes to my bed.

Goodnight pumpkins!

Stalker, meetings, and leftover pizza

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I hope you all are doing good! I’m currently in bed for the night, but I wanted to pop in here and say hello!

Today has been pretty hectic due to meetings at hospital, monthly grocery shopping within a time limit which was very stressful, repack food before putting in freeze box,  study etc. it has been crazy today so now I’m finally in bed.

Today’s quick dinner while study; left over pizza. Yesh not healthy but it was something over from last night when M and son ate pizza (I always take chicken salad). *snapchat & filter*

Every class we get homework todo til next class and with my history of math etc, I struggle really hard.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Confession time; I am dead scared of going in school now and alone in town. Why? Because I have a massive stalker who goes to same school as me.

Back story; I’ve met this man three times. Once at a busstop, once in school and now the third time in town when I was in town with my bestfriend. He snook up behind me and said “Hi Emma!” and I always answer when people talk to me so I said Hi back. After that, it went down hill. E even tried to help me get away from this man and after a while which felt like years he left so we could walk away. I was crying, very uncomfortable,  scared etc. This man has said he was COMING home to me, tried to kiss me, hug me, he touched me etc. More happened but this whole situation trigger me even when thinking of it (I’m shaking rn).

So my school situation right now is that my teacher know (I texted him the same night it happened, he called and we spoke), the boss over the principal knows and has spoken with all teachers so they all are keeping eyes on me. Which feels very wrong to be honest but I really appreciate it. Yet I am dead scared of going to school  I even have classmates who ends the classes early to walk with me to the busstop. that’s crazy!

Long story short; I have school five days a week and I really don’t wanna go but still go.

I hope you all have an amazing day and remember this; you are fantastic and amazing. Never let anyone else tell you something else. Always.. always be true to yourself.

A powerful quote I think you will like

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆2 Comments

Goodmorning every beautiful soul 💛  I hope you all are feeling good. Relaxed. Happy and just positive! It’s Sunday! Which means resting day. Well not for me but hopefully for all of you!

I just wanted to pop in on this sunrise morning in Sweden (7.30am) and tell you all that

You are fantastic! You are strong, powerful and can do what ever you set your mind to! You are beautiful. You are amazing!

Never forget that!

Super excited to tell you what the niche is

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆2 Comments

I saw a question that made me think really hard.. Why you chose your blogging niche? well to be honest, I have been blogging for many years, different blogs, different names etc and  I have been all over. Blog chaos, no red thread to follow etc. Which I might struggle with on this blog as well (atleast I struggle with my bad grammar – I’m sorry!) but why did I really picked my niche?

(cartoon filter on)

well to be honest lifestyle suits me best because I wanna have a place where I can share my experience, news (good and bad) and have just a place to write on. Lifestyle for me is huge in the category but the best part you do not need one special niche. I love photography but I also love beauty and skincare and having lifestyle as a niche I will be able to post that instead of just focusing on ONE TOPIC. Now I will not have many topics in this blog. Maybe 4 or 5. lifestyle ~ (and daily life) photography, parenting (autism), beauty/skincare, mental health and inspirational posts.

For me important subjects are important to share  such as raising awareness about mental health, bullying and autism . How to help, work and go through it. In today’s society it’s (at least where I live) a taboo to talk about these things and I have been through shit tons of things so I know a lot.

Photography ~ share photographs I’ve taken, share info and try keep my spirit up for photography (as you might have notice I always have at lease one photo on each post. taken by me or borrowed) . Share for my adventures, fun moments etc.

Parenting ~ As you know, I’m a mother to a boy named E who has a severe case of Autism. Autism level 3 and is non verbal. // I will share his progress, development and steps forward to the future. Not to seek attention or what so ever but to just remember the moments.

Beauty / Skincare ~ my Instagram has a lot of posts of beauty & skincare but in here I will just include some looks when I wear, information etc. Updates on beauty / skincare part will be on instagram, just like some lifestyle (will update LS on here)

Inspirational posts ~ Everyone need to motivation and inspiration in their life and iam here to share both quotes etc I have written myself and those I found online.

so now you all know why I picked my blogging niche(sorta know. it’s hard to explain). What is your blog niche?

September, full off color change, fresh air and new mindset

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆3 Comments

September.. such a beautiful month. Colors are changing on trees, flowers and trees who’s getting ready to go to sleep to be able to bloom in the spring again. Rainy days, cold air and cozy moments are here. Candles, open fires, leaves falling, cold and chill winds. Seeing all the changes of colors. From green to yellow, red, orange and brown. Hearing the crispy sound under your feets when walking on leaves. Oh so magical . Fall is my favorite season and iam so excited that it’s finally here.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

Just like a flower and a tree in fall who’s about to get ready to go to sleep so they can bloom on the spring and share their beauty to us again.

It’s something I have been starting to think about alot lately (it popped up in my head when I was in school once).

I think that way for myself. I have days where I feel bad, down in mood, feeling a bit down / depressed but later in life I bloom up to be myself again. It’s normal for every person to have moments where they feel sad, down or even depressed. But if you think you are like a flower, you can always make yourself bloom again and be a better version. That’s what I’m focusing on right now.

Mental health is kinda taboo where I live but I think it is important to talk about it. So yeah, I hope you don’t mind posts like this, or post where I talk about my mental health I’m struggling with right now.

that might sound weird and like I have written before, my english aren’t so good and I apologize if I confuse you with this text. I just wanted to share something I’ve been thinking of lately.

●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●

I can’t wait to see all the beautiful color changes. To just take all the colors and air in. Fresh air. To wear my legwarmers and my knitted socks my mom made me before she passed away. oh iam so happy right now.
