Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to make its colours appear

I love the title of this post, it’s beautiful.

I’m not gonna go out and shout at the top of my lungs, that I’ve had a terrible life. I’ve never been abused, maltreated, misused or neglected. But that isn’t what the quote aims at either, it’s a balance in between the good and the bad.
I don’t have the right balance, far from it, but I’m aiming to get there.

My childhood wasn’t easy, I was bullied for many years (picked on and beaten), and when someone finally noticed and I got sent to a different school, people had heard of me, and instead I was just ignored.
My year at boarding school was really good, people didn’t know me, and didn’t judge me before they knew me.

My parents ended up in a fiery divorce, from which I suffered a great deal, acting a lot as the messenger and taking the blame; and those years, I would rather forget. But this isn’t a pity post, I’ve had amazing experiences in my life.

I spent 5 months backpacking in South America, I’ve travelled in 37 countries, lived abroad, met the most amazing people, spent a big part of my life scouting and most of all… I’ve more of that to look forward to, all the travelling I will be doing, all the people I have yet to meet and the experiences ahead of me.

I’ve recently moved to Århus, I’m now studying at the Business School og Aarhus, I live in a fantastic dormitory with fantastic people, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
