Lazarus decides to die



Things aren't getting less complicated. What are we good at other than piling things up.... in the end, we leave it all behind for someone else to carry the burden.
What are we so occupied by? Running like headless chickens all our lives... to buy, buy and buy some more... so worried about leaving a trace behind...  most do leave a trace alright, a trace of garbage, junk... a hoard of things, things and more things. Then what?

What choices do we really have in life? Either follow the path traced by others, repeat the same mistakes and struggle through or follow the less traveled path and struggle some more... which one is better? Can luck be blamed? Does luck exist?

Values change, respect and moral standards have lost their meaning... you seem to be worth what you own in zeroes in a bank... not what values you live by or the content of your brain. This is a world where tyrants rule and the sheep wave and cheer... too afraid to speak out, where children are injected with dormant diseases until it's time to activate them... and when that time comes, no one moves a finger to save them... this is a world where we throw away food while people starve, where thousands of houses stay empty, waiting for a buyer while people sleep in carton boxes, under bridges or at your doorstep! This is the world we live in. The world we oh so proudly call ourselves the top specie in!!! What are we proud of? We are the ones destroying whatever this planet has to offer. We are the disease of this planet. Earth was fine long before we came along, and as things are... I wouldn't be surprised if the planet decided to suddenly autodestruct.

We willingly join the monetary/socio-political game... called system... from the moment we are born... we want to belong, to a family, to a name, to a bloodline, to a religion, to a sect, to a status... we automatically inherit debt, ideas, ideologies, paths... we are filled up with ideas, none our own, stamped and filled with expectations yet doomed to disappoint and get disappointed at every turn! We are shaped and kneaded like dough... molded into a stereotype, stripped of our autonomy, then fed back ideas of freedom of speech, human rights and all that fantasy world, just to keep us dreaming, hoping... and the best of all, is when we believe it all, and we sacrifice everything hoping to achieve... achieve what? We spend the first thirty years of our lives running after education and jobs, the next twenty years we spend on our children, our career and basically being busy... and the last twenty years, if lucky to survive that long, we spend them being sick and ping ponging from one doctor to another and becoming guinea pigs for their incentive driven pill testing by major dishonest pharmaceutical companies!!!

It's illegal to plant your food, it's illegal to immigrate, it's illegal to talk, it's illegal to build a house, it's illegal to feed birds in the streets, it's illegal to raise your voice, illegal... what is law??? What are laws??? Who came up with the idea of law and order? Wasn't it human beings? We gave up on bits and pieces of our freedoms to have a civilized system to keep the order of things and prevent chaos and anarchy... but what have we done but give away ALL our freedoms only to crawl and beg for drops of them to be given back to us by blood and power crazed people we voted for to govern our lives in ways that best suit our collective welfare!!! Hah... let me laugh that one out for a second!
I know what you're thinking by now... what a pessimist, what a negative person... well, open your mind and your eyes... look around you, look at yourself first and ask yourself if you are happy with your life? Are the people around you happy? Is the country you live in, society, environment you live in... safe? Happy? Tolerant? How about the next door neighboring country... is it safe, happy, content? Are people enjoying their lives around you? Are children laughing and playing? Are the birds singing? Do you even have a minute anymore to stop, look, listen, see and notice these things anymore? Do you?

We die a million times, daily... life chews us and spits us out, sometimes has no mercy on us ... day in and day out... but we are still here, stubborn as ever, fighting back... but are we really fighting back? Or just running in the hamster wheel we were placed in?

When will we open our eyes and see the bigger picture? When will we understand the truth, and try to figure out a way to make the places we live in actually liveable? When will we raise our voices in unity and say HEY! Enough!?!

The way I see it... not anytime soon.

So... Lazarus decides to die...
Because being resurrected was not really worth it.

Just saying!

How to Be the Perfect Girlfriend - 12 Steps.

You met the guy of your dreams, he's all you ever dreamed of, the knight in shining armor that will swipe you off your feet and take you away into a fairytale... BUT, he's not really into you? Here's how you can get him to be with you, no matter how stubborn and how uninterested he might be: 1. Chase him: Every person likes to feel wanted, and here is what you can do. Forget about your dignity and chase him. Spill yourself in front of him... Compliment him... pop up randomly at all the places he hangs out at... make him see you, day, night, weekdays, weekends... eventually he will get so used to seeing you around that when he doesn't... he will notice something missing. That's when you got your first hooks on him! 2. Play nice: Now that you have his attention, put on your best act. And yes, I mean ACT. We both know you're not that sweet innocent, trusting and harmless girl you are trying to portrait, and we all know you have a crazy b*tch hidden in you so

Making Viking Belt bags - the old way...

Image
This summer, I will be participating in Viking markets around Norway, so I had to prepare many items, as authentic as possible, to be able to display and sell them at the markets. I started making leather crafts without having any prior experience in leather work, I just gave it a try a few years ago, and it worked! Now, I just learn as I go, and I believe I am doing quite well, and people who see and buy my work keep telling me so... which is the encouragement I need to keep improving and doing new things, expanding my horizons, in a way. A while ago, I started making viking belt bags again. I had already made a few... but working alone, when you think you have done so much... you look at the number of hours used, and then you take a look at the number of items produced... and you see that it's never enough! Each pouch can take from 3 to 18 hours of work, depending on the size, the dying technique, treating/softening the leather, the engraving and the sewing. It all s

DIY Leather Steampunk inspired Corset-Belt tutorial.

A couple of weeks ago, the weather in Norway was super hot and summery, which is something that has not happened in the last four years. Everyone (except me) was happy for all the sun and heat out there... People were enjoying the weather, walking around in bikinis... sun bathing on the grass in the middle of downtown... the pubs and restaurants were full, the city was once again ALIVE after the long dark winter.  But as soon as people barely started getting used to the heat that a cold wave hit the coutry, first starting with cold northern winds... but it was not cold enough to go back to winter clothing. It's the most annoying type of weather when you don't really know what to wear! If you dress up in summer clothes, you'd freeze, if you dress up in winter clothes, you'd suffocate! So, to keep a long story short, I tried to find a healthy balance by making myself a corset made of leather.  Why, you may ask? Well my tummy and waist area have always been a wea
