I'm leaving Sweden

🌟 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲: verdantvanille...
I wasn't expecting to leave Sweden so soon. I'm very sad having to say goodbye to this beautiful northern land. Only a few months went by since I got here, yet I have tremendously grown. This cottage experience in the forest, has been one of the most transformative of my life.
Today I share with you my experience among Swedish culture.
Unfortunately, I can no longer stay in this country.

I feel your pain. Friends and relationships can be so draining. But at the same time, social interaction is important as a human. Just like you should be careful about the food you put in your body, you need to be careful about the people you let in your life. Keep it simple. Just a few friends and minimal material possessions. Always maintain your independence and mobility. Don't be sad about leaving. It's ok to walk away. It's liberating. Keep moving. Sometimes I like the energy of a big city, sometimes I like the serenity of a rural setting. Wherever my heart is at that moment....I follow.

[@VerdantVanille]

Your words are inspiring my spirit to the greatest level Scotty. Words of wisdom, words of truth. I will follow, thank you. ♡

Im in high school, and that is why I take AP classes. I want to hang out with the right people, and I don’t like the people in the regular classes. I go to a public school in the USA so those kids have a right there, and they can’t kick them out

[@donniedonnie639]

You must be young and single. Relationships and responsibilities, especially children will change those feelings. Both sides are very valuable and have their own challenges, but nothing compares to seeing your own child and grandchildren grow into adults. Just pick a loyal, responsible person if you decide to have that journey.

[@АлексейМайстер-ч9щ]

@ Donnie Donnie, On the contrary to what somebody posted, I do not believe relationships will help. Talking from experience. But if you can be a friend with someone from the opposite gender before they romanticize you, it can help. And keep boundaries in the five senses that are windows to your soul. Helping small businesses is good, but if you have less employees it makes it even smaller. Learn to adapt for when us, commentators are not there. Sweden can be good after the Ukraine war... study Yellowstone volcanic past eruptions.

[@thelaughingprophet2275]

I’m over 50. My wife passed 10 years ago. Our children have grown up and moved on with their lives. At first, I craved companionship, launched myself into relationships and being social, but there was a growing part that craved isolation. Universe provided me this last year a new place where I knew nobody. It’s been a journey of the mind and soul I can tell you. Some good, some hard. But overall, getting to know oneself throughly provides so much clarity on interactions with others, provides a greater perspective, less need to be accepted, greater confidence in oneself. We are social creatures I smile and say Gday to everyone, how they react is their business. Good for you young lady for being brave enough to take the time to ‘be with you’

[@henriklarsson5221]

I think it is mostly with strangers that we are "cold", since really, we don´t want to disturb their personal peace and life, unless it is really needed... and most people are shy. But once you get a "normal" Swed talking, you can´t shut them up (talk about the weather to break the ice) ^)^ That being said, there are areas of Sweden that are more "quite" for sure, where culture has been "less talk and more work".

[@Aethuviel]

I'm Swedish, I don't get this at all. XD Kisses are only for your partner, and perhaps your own baby/toddler. No one else. My husband is from Georgia though, and everyone there wants to hug and kiss me.

[@skaraborgcraft]

@@Aethuviel I think you are proving my point of cultural difference. You dont understand it because for you its not normal, but for other nations Swedes are cold. When i tell the story of the old man who was found dead in his apartment 3 months after he had died, most people are horrified, most Swedes say we was just respecting his privacy. It would appear to some that Sweden is more about the individual than family and community.

Unfortunately, tragically, Sweden is destroyed by them having radiated us with the strongest/highest microwave border-values(gränsvärde) for years. People got stress-sick, dong jobs badly, immorally, not wanting to exert themselves but sacrificing patients. People need good relationships and being able to trust fellows. Living off grid still need to buy things and interact. The insects are almost all extinct, and swedes don't connect it to the radiation despite many research findings openly available.Swedes dream on, walking themselves and us who don't use the radiation gadgets towards death instead of life. Living in nature helps little when still on the cell phony etc. Does WiFi work off-grid? even worse. The hidden ugliness of Sweden is so sad.

Your video resonates so much with me. I moved here from the US almost 15 years ago, also to a cottage in the countryside, and next month my family and I are finally leaving. The culture is so different from what I know growing up, and all my efforts to socialize have led to zero meaningful friendships in the end. There are people I've known for a decade, "friends," and it stills feel like we just met. I am done trying and so glad to find your lovely video. Sweden's nature is indeed beautiful, but social isolation here as a foreigner can be very difficult...

The stuff you said about isolation and how it's kinda is the best and worst thing at the same time really resonated with me. At the end of the day we do need others to feel happy.

The same goes for the other major cities. If you want to come live in Canada and continue to live as if you had never left your country of origin, this is mostly possible. You can just find people from your own country, find your food, music, doctor, dentist, lawyer, accountant, newspapers, TV etc... and it feels like you are still in your own country.

@@Satisfyerism Yes, I understand. My father was from Flensburg. A funny thing is that many Canadians and foreigners think that Canada is a Nordic country, which it is not, even though the winter here is very long and cold. Most Canadians hate winter. They dread its arrival and spend most of the winter waiting for spring to arrive. They fight against winter, whilst in the Scandinavian countries and in Finland they welcome it and dance with it. Apart from the Amerindians and Inuit (Eskimos), Canada is made up of colonists from France and the United Kingdom. These are not Nordic people and do not have the Nordic way of thinking. The rest of the population here consists of immigrants from warm countries who do not even care about Canada. They came here for a better quality of life. Canada is the only country to have hosted the Olympic Summer Games in 1976 and the Olympic Winter Games in 1988 and not won a single gold medal whilst hosting these games. Many people under 40 years of age who were born in Montreal do not know that Montreal hosted the Olympics. They know of the Olympic Stadium, the Olympic swimming pool, the Olympic Velodrome and the Olympic Village, but did not think that 1+1 = 2 and deduce that Montreal had hosted the Games.

I am sure that you were maybe situated in a great place in Sweden as far as being able to have a great relationship with nature and natural beauty, however yes a lot of the places in the countryside here are geared in a way that is perfect for the more isolationist type of person. Maybe if you had a group of close friends to travel with from the beginning or you had a partner and then maybe were trying to start a family you wouldn't have feel the loneliness as much. I live in Stockholm Sweden so the grass is always greener, I yearn for that isolated life of course along with the means and ends to support myself financially and otherwise. For example living off the land and self sustainable gardening/farming etc. You are young and need to find your way though so have fun and find your own peace on that journey.

[@VerdantVanille]

Your compliments are truly, deeply, touching my heart. Thank you very much for being such a kind human being! You are right, things could have been different. I also could have tried to join a club or some sort of a similar thing to connect with like minded people. But it was quite isolated so yeah, not easy... You live in such a beautiful country with lots of possibilities to live a life close to nature! I am sure you will find a way to live a little closer to your heart and aspirations! I'm sending so much light on your way ♡

I have felt the same way for the last 2+ years when I wasn't even able to interact with humans intimately due to the "virus". It's time to be more foreword looking and uplifting. I hope you do well on your journey!

Aww, I was just getting to know you. Carry on Miss Gentleness. President Ronald Reagan gave a memorable speech as he was ending his time as the US president. He said in his speech, "We have a rendezvous with destiny" and you are called by the Spirit of Grace to find your destiny.

Where are you now? I've lived in Sweden for 4.5yrs now. Desspite my efforst, I haven't been able to make one Swedish friend here...when you said, 'when I go to the grocery store, I feel invisible', it resonated with me so deeply. I love the natural beauty of this country and being an introvert helps overcome the quiet social life, but I miss my family a lot. Not sure I would still be here had it not been for my frequent visits home..still, I feel much more balanced here than when Ii was living in my home country. How is that even possible..?! I spend a loot of my free time walking in the woods or by the sea, it does magic to my exhausted mind.. Sending you my best wishes ❤

[@matthewbeddoes8472]

Just found your channel today and I must say it has had a profound emotional effect. It was easy for me to isolate myself from others to avoid being hurt despite living in a large Canadian city. It drains me. I was last in Ukraine in February before my government forced me to leave my Ukrainian students. I had been there the spring before to work as a military trainer/consultant before catching Covid and having to return to Canada. I had hoped to stay and help this year even being asked to stay by the Ukrainian government before the war began. Your gentleness hit me strongly in your prayers for peace and love. I just know that I cannot stand idle while others are being hurt and the evident evil present in some. I wish that I could be whisked away to that place in Sweden that you are now leaving. Natural surroundings such as that are where I go to replenish and rethink my choices (maybe the same for you?). Just wanted to thank you for your video and the help that it gave me. Bon chances et a la prochain.

[@VerdantVanille]

A lot of frustrating decisions you had to make Matthew... I know it might not feels this way right now, but everything happens for a reason. You are exactly where you need to be my friend, there is something for you to learn here and now. Being reminded of this always helps me to rise again. And you will Matthew, your power shines through your words, you will rise again. Nature is where I go to find peace within myself, and connect with something bigger than me, being one with the earth is profoundly healing, as you would agree. Thank you, with all my heart, for your kind words. It brings so much light to my spirit right now. Take great care of your beautiful self Matthew ♡

I'm in my eighties and have the best of two worlds. I live in the United States in Southern California and have a cattle ranch in the mid-west. I can choose the hustle bustle life of California or the secluded wilds of my ranch in the Midwest. I turned the ranch back to nature about 20 years ago and the only thing abounds is wildlife. Mostly forest and peaceful. The wildlife being undisturbed for so many years trust me and it's like heaven on earth. But it isn't. Outside those locked gates is the world she describes in her video. Same in California although my fences is eight feet high around a large parcel guess what awaits me when I open the gates. Point? No heaven on earth. The good book tells us that. Pray to the living GOD for peace and comfort while here the short time you are.

[@MissSchnickfitzel]

I completely disagree that Sweden is somehow unique in how socially cold they are I know tons of swedish people who go hiking a ton together. The problem are modern people, I've lived in many different countries, EVERYONE is socially cold. Germany, america, Switzerland. I've been to Norway and people were a lot more social there than what people told me. More than Germany. Our neighbors are literally 2 meters away and don't talk to us. I dont have friends here. There are no ways to make proper friends despite living in a city. It's depressing. It has nothing to do with countries

It is a very bad regime in the Ukraine since 2014 an the EU and USA likes that and helped to make it worse. War ist always very bad and I feel very sad for the normal people in the Ukraine and for the soldiers from Russia. But the responsibility for that has the EU and USA!

Thank you for your open voice. I can relate to what you say. Solitude is important but in the end we all depend on others and others depend on us. From this lies our greatest happiness. "Our fondest memories will almost always be of the things you have done for others." By the way, the chocolate cinder block looks delicious.

[@aularound]

Where ever you end up, I'm sure you will look back at this time in your life as a healty life experience. It is not easy to know what one wants in life, most of the times we have to try things to get to know what we don't want instead, and by doing that, we will come one step closer to our destination. I'm also sure that this alone time has been good for you, and it is totally understandable that you long for intimacy and conversation after this time! It is not easy to get to know someone here in the Nordic countries. I would suggest that you try and find friends using Internet that you can meet up with after some time if it feels like someone you would like to get to know better! Best of luck to you! 🌞

I think that maybe the best thing to do IS to forget about the ' real world' , the world of strife and greed, and to live as far away from it as possible. All those little things we do, like watching ice melt, and buds coming back to trees, and birds telling us stories are the real world, and by experiencing those things and appreciating them, we affirm a reality that shows the universe that we are worthy of keeping around.

I have always, always, knew that moments are so very fleeting. It consumed me to the point of hardly enjoying the now moments, because I knew even that time would quickly pass. It is my flaw. I tried to fill those thoughts with"things" and distractions, but in the end the thoughts trail in my shadow. I dread the time when my children will move on. My heart is heavy just to think of it.
