You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

Jon McLaughlin, So Close

It has been a tough time for me lately. With this post I would like to thank all of you who’ve stood by me in the past 3 months, especially those of you who have tried to cheer me up or make things better, numerous times.

Special mentions for the one of the wisest people I know, Maxime. You’ve made things better, just by being yourself and sharing some of your wisdom with me. I’ll never forget that you’re the one that told me that it’s better to create reactions from other people, good or bad than to bland in and never generate anything. You’re also probably the person who made me laugh most of all.

Another person I really need to mention is Lieven. Thank you for sacrificing some of your (very little) free time to take me to the movies and drinks, and your never-ending efforts to cheer me up. You’ve really helped by just being there and listening to my rants, afterwards telling me that it’s not so bad, and things will clear up.

Last, but definitely least, special mentions for those who took the time to listen to all my problems, no matter how futile or ridiculous they were. I can’t name all of you, and if I tried, I’d forget some people that are very important to me, but I’m sure you’ll know it when you’re on of them. Almost all of my friends are in this category, and I really appreciate everything you do and stand for.

To all of my friends, I dedicate this Placebo-song. The most appropriate lines are in bold. Thank you all, so much.

You’re always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I’m drenched to the bone every time
You’re the first one to swim across the Seine
I lag behind
You’re always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind (x4)

You’re always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You posses every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You’re the monkey I’ve got on my back
That tells me to shine
You’re always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind (x8)

You’re always ahead of the rest
When I’m always on time
You got As on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you’re divine
You’re always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind (x8)

Lots of love, An-Sofie

“This is a post called The Kill. Don’t be scared, it’s a nice one… about losing your mind.”

Lately I’ve been feeling like I’m losing my mind. Everything seems to go wrong, both on a ‘professional’ and personal level. It feels like I’m surrounded by darkness, and somehow, I don’t seem to find the energy or power to fight it.
