We were supposed to have theatre rehearsal today but it got cancelled. So I’m starting to wonder how they are planning on have the premiere September 21st.
It’s not like I’m worried but it feels like if I’m going to put a whole lot of energy and time on having performances I want to feel like it is a good performance worth seeing.
Enough about that now.
I’m still trying to get back to my normal life here in Sweden. I have started seeing my beloved therapist again, and it feels much better now than before summer. Not that he has changed anything, but I guess I have.
Feels like I live one day at the time, I only know what I’m going to do tomorrow but not any further. It’s messy, I work at different places, different times. I have to get some organization. I’m glad that school starts soon so I’ll only have that as my biggest concern.

Went over your blog, and must say: you have a nice, open style of writing.
Between 1996-1998, I trained a lot of traumatized people from all over former Yugoslavia, in the Netherlands.
To get them 'ready' for the Dutch labor market. Trainings of 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, for 6 months.
It was an impressive experience, often very emotional, for both sides. Most of them build up a carreer, married, get children and most important; found peace and happines. I was exhausted after 2 years, being the (communication) trainor, but one of the best things I have done in my life.

Thanks.
That's interesting but from what I've heard, people from Bosnia don't have the best reputation in Netherlands...
Kathryn, I don't live in the Netherlands since 1999. Sometimes I go there 20 times a year, sometimes only twice.
Bulgarians have a bad reputation. And some gangs from Serbia.
Never heard, never saw mentioned one negative word about Bosnia It's the Dutch who made a mess in Srebenica as you know.
I remember "Zena" (not her real name) Her father was from Zagreb and was Serbian Orthodox, her mother from a small village in the South, and was Muslim. Zena was atheist. But when the war broke out, she was several time abducted and 'misused'. Her parents died. When she started the training, she was 40. My co-trainer and I were impressed how she acted, and during these short 6 months, she found the Love of her Life, a house, a job, and I am still in contact with here...and she use to read my horoscope..)) We trained, Serbs, Croats and Bosniaks together, and emotions were running high. But all of them fully integrated...
Thanks
That’s just what I have heard from Bosnians and from a Dutch man. I work at a Dutch beer pub and we often have guest from Holland, businessmen mostly. This man came in and we started a conversation, he was really nice, he told me that he was Dutch and asked for my name, I said Marizela and he started to talk about how great Spain was. I said, I’m not Spanish, I’m from Bosnia.
He said, oh, do you know what Bosnians are known for in Holland? Stealing! He went on about how bad people Bosnians are, and I tried to defend myself. So he said, I guess Sweden got the good Bosnians then. The whole thing ended when my boss, who is also Dutch and is called Hans, said that he should leave. And he did, but before he got out he said that I should learn Dutch if I’m going to work at a Dutch beer pub.
hmm... I would take this guy for a sort beer shower...
Sorry for you that he insulted you.
