For eight years I’ve been walking past this view to school. I see the entire city from here. When I’m stressed out I climb up this tree and sit in the canopy just watching the city. It’s beautiful, thinking about all people living here. It makes me very happy about my life and everyone I get to share it with.
This place, among other spots on this mountain means a lot. It relieves a ton of stress and it makes me feel free and calm. When I realize how big this place is, all my worries disappear. Because no matter what, this place will remain the same.
My cat, Max means the world to me. When I was little, I begged for a cat, but my parents said no. I continued to ask them every day and then one evening my dad came home with Max. As a 9-year-old that was the best day I had ever experienced and since then Max has been my best friend.
This is Gemma, the dog I love the most in the world. Even though she lives 8000 km away on the other side of the ocean, I still think about her. We played football and fetch every day and she sat with me when I read my books at night. She is the true definition of a man’s best friend.
This means happiness. I love snow and I love the fact that I have gotten the luck to live in country where there is snow. I like Sweden’s mountains, but the Alps are something different. Skiing in the snow makes me feel like I am the only person in the world. I do not feel alone, I just feel individual.
This place is called Skärgården. In English it is called the Archipelago. This specific island is Möja. I go here every summer with family and friends. When I am here, I truly can relax. We eat tasty food, sunbath, swim and travel to other islands by boat.
My moped. When I was 16, I got my moped. It has a blue beautiful colour. I named it Neo. It helps me feel safe at night. I have experienced many creepy things on the subway, the alternative of driving away in 50 km/h makes me feel secure.
This is my dog (right). We rescued him from the streets in Spain ten years ago. He was abandoned by his owners and went on to beg for food from street kitchens, only to be beaten and left to die again. He went through all this and is the most loving being I know, always there for me. He inspires me.
My best summer view. In this beautiful place, I have had the opportunity to spend my summers since I was a child. It is in the Stockholm archipelago on an island called Tyresö. The spot is my grandma und grandpa’s and I love to be there with them.
This is a picture of me snowboarding in the alps. It makes me feel happy because when you’re snowboarding you can get your mind off other things. In this photo I’m in the alps with my father, my uncle and my cousin. It was a very fun trip and I had a lot of fun snowboarding in the loose snow.
I like Christmas. Christian or not, who doesn’t like an excuse to give each other presents and show your appreciation towards one another? Christmas brings families together. Christmas is about giving and receiving, Christmas isn’t about the physical gift but rather the thought. My Christmas tree in the photo may not be perfect, but on the other hand, what is?
Kuşadası, Turkey, a place where I meet a big part of my family. It’s like my second home. About once every two years I see my cousins, grandmother, uncles, and so on. It makes me forget my gloom and stress and teaches me to enjoy my life.
Every time I’d have a sleepover at a friends’ house I passed by there and bought snacks; when we didn’t like the food in the cafeteria we would buy lunch there; when meeting up friends we always met at Coop. This is my local grocery store, a place that I have gained an infinity of memories from throughout my childhood.
This is a picture from a place near my country house. It is taken at the break of dawn and the sky is covered in yellow and pink. The canopy sways in the vivid wind. The view is stunning, but the camera lens can’t capture its beauty. I come here when I need to think, the surroundings bring me peace.
This is one of my favorite places that I have ever been to. This place is a part of a summer camp that I went to last summer. It means a lot to me because it symbolizes the person I become when I can get away. When I can take a break from the city-life and all the problems with it.
In the picture I chose you can see a wooden statue of a family, why it is so important to me is because it was given from loved ones that thought of us even in their worst days. They showed love and appreciation from a place across the globe, it reminds me every day that showing kindness is never impossible.
My piano means a lot to me in the way that when I sit in front of it while I am playing and singing it is the moment when I am truly personal and have the most contact with my feelings. By choosing which song I want to play and sing it reflects my feelings in that specific time span.
This is a picture of the view from my father’s friends summer place. It’s located in the Stockholm archipelago. I’ve been here almost every year I can remember. We go to it by boat, and there we sail, go kayaking and eat barbeque. I connect summer so much with this place and the thought about it makes me feel happy.
Muscö
This picture is connected to a very beautiful memory of this summer at Muscö, a little island in the Swedish county. It means a lot because the whole family was together, we drove in the sun and had a beautiful view of the water, and we stayed up late just having a great time together with food and laughter.

My picture presents a rainbow. I really like rainbows because they stand for a couple of great things, for example pride, which stands for LGBTQ+ rights. Though my primary reason to like rainbows is because they are very beautiful to look at. I took this picture this morning and when I saw the rainbow, I immediately felt joyous.
Ramön is the place where I spent all my summers since I was born. the get-away from all the city stress and problems. here I can breathe fresh air and become one with nature. My second home, or rather if it was up to me my main home. All the beauty of its seasons that inspire me. This is Ramön.
This picture shows my house. I chose this view because lately, I have realized how much it means to me. These days I spend most of the weeks in an apartment, and it has made me understand and reflect more on the positive things about my home.
This is my home, the place where I feel safe. The place where I have my family, my friends and life. Not everyone can see the fellowship between the people in this place I call home. The people outside see us as a threat, they call us names such as drug dealers. But in the end, it’s just our home.
This necklace I got from my best friend on Valentine’s day. I got extremely happy and was surprised she had bought a gift. I was also surprised because she had written a cute note about our friendship. The necklace is a beautiful golden heart and I use it often together with other accessories. It’s a beautiful symbol of our friendship.
Basketball is important to me because it is something that I can do to get my mind off things that had bothered me during the day and release strong emotions. The sport helps me relax, create a balance in my life and keep me in constant movement.
