I can feel peace in someone\u2019s arms, and I would feel at home, but ultimately the feeling still comes from inside myself and I could find it in a crowded room as well as on a walk in the forest. It\u2019s a kind of certainty that all will be alright.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned that I can make myself feel safe by living with integrity and by taking care of my needs with every choice I make. So eventually I feel\u2014in my body\u2014that, as long as I\u2019m taking care of myself, I will be safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>When do you feel happy? When do you feel content?<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m currently experimenting with expression and movement and discovering a lot. All stuckness, heavy emotions and existential crisis, loosen up in action. For me it can be sports, dancing, walks, writing, drawing and, most of all, talking to someone else and feeling connected. However it happens, I feel content by letting it out, to set free\u2014letting go of what I don\u2019t want to hold me back, and to be proactive about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I keep coming back to the phrase \u201cthe opposite of depression is not happiness, it\u2019s expression,\u201d and through expression I find happiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>More <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/yip.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Youth Initiative Program<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Translation <\/strong>Paula Boslau<br><strong>Photo <\/strong>Private<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ytterj\u00e4rna, Sweden.
