When booking our flights to Norway, I had no idea we’d be there for Constitution Day (May 17th).
It meant we got to experience a particularly celebratory side of Norwegian culture. There were flags everywhere, people dressed in beautiful traditional clothing, and champagne, strawberries, and ice cream seemed to be on the menu from breakfast onwards🍓🥂
Watching the celebrations got me thinking about how most cultures have days, holidays, or traditions that give people permission to express different parts of themselves. Parts that might not be as visible in everyday life.
And I think the same is true for us as individuals.
As adults, we often forget that the narrow scaffolding of who we believe ourselves to be is much more changeable than we think. We become attached to certain identities, habits, and ways of being, forgetting that there are countless other versions of ourselves waiting to be explored.
I couldn’t help but feel how important it is to step out of our usual identities and practice being something different every now and then.
Not because we’re pretending to be someone else, but because we may discover that we can be that too.
Forever fascinated by the multiple dimensions and worlds we hold within us.
Have fun exploring the vastness of you x
