The Mountain, the Story,
and Bansko –
Choosing the Real Path!
Storytelling.
Storytelling isn’t just words — it’s life itself. It’s the invisible thread that ties together who we were, who we are, and who we’re becoming.
I’ve always seen storytelling as a mountain. You can’t walk around it — you have to climb. Every path is a choice: safe or uncertain, easy or steep. But all lead to the same place — understanding yourself.
Leaving Sweden wasn’t escape — it was evolution. Comfort had turned into a cage. Everything worked, yet something vital was missing. When life becomes too safe, you stop moving. And when movement ends, storytelling dies.
So I moved to Bansko — a small mountain town where life is raw, real, and beautifully unpredictable. Here, I buy food without understanding the label, speak through gestures, and rely on kindness more than control.
Without stabilizers, the senses return.
The mountains ask for honesty: “Who are you becoming?”
Each day is an ascent — not toward success, but toward truth.
I’ve learned that storytelling isn’t about writing perfect words. It’s about living them — turning silence into strength and fear into freedom.
Between Gothenburg and Bansko, I stopped telling stories and started being one.
And maybe that’s what it means to live fully — to climb, to fall, to begin again.
I’m still moving - Still learning - Still becoming.
