In professional settings man's existential conditions are just as much part of reality as they are in our private life. In the same manner, we repress the idea of death in our daily lives so whole organizations - one way or another - seeks to repress the idea of death. One way this is felt is in our need for nitty gritty management or a fruitless quest for perfection that is always disappointed.

Yesterday I spoke with my sister about death. She told me she is not afraid of it.

If she were to die tomorrow, she would of course be sad to leave her children, grandchildren, and the people she loves. But she also feels that she has lived a good and meaningful life.

And I think many people feel the same way.

They are focused on living life.

Not on thinking about death.

So why do I spend so much time exploring death?

The short answer is that I am not primarily interested in death.

I am interested in life.

For the existential psychotherapist Irvin Yalom, death is important not because it necessarily frightens us, but because it can help us see more clearly.

When we truly recognize that our time is limited, something often shifts.

The trivial loses some of its grip.

Relationships become more important.

Some people find the courage to change direction.

Others discover that life cannot be postponed to some future date.

That is why I keep returning to the subject of death.

Not because I think we should fear it.

But because it can help us remember what is worth living for.

At the end of 2025, I quit my job as a lawyer.

On paper, the plan was simple. In reality, much more complicated: move to Mexico and pursue art full-time.

Now I’m back in Copenhagen.

Not because the plan has changed or been abandoned, but because a new phase of the transition has begun, one that rarely appears on social media.

The ordinary days after the big decision.

A period where you walk through the same streets as before, but as a slightly different person.

And who exactly is that person?

Right now, I’m experiencing a strange mix of freedom, uncertainty, hope, and doubt. Perhaps that’s inevitable when you leave behind an identity you’ve spent years building and begin creating a new one.

Because this is where the real work starts, right.

Not in the big decisions.

But in the small steps that follow.

Many of you know that I work with death as an artistic theme. But lately, I’ve been thinking less about death and more about its opposite:

How to patiently and deliberately create a life you actually want to live.

Day by day.

Not because you know exactly where you’re going.

But because something inside you knows it’s the right direction.

As long as I can remember, I’ve believed in the magical.

There is something deeply comforting in the idea that there is something greater than ourselves. Something meaningful. Something hidden. Something more.

Maybe that’s why humans throughout history have turned toward religion, spirituality, universal intelligence, or the belief that everything happens for a reason.

Belief in the magical can give us hope.
It can carry us through difficult times.
And it can make the world feel less random.

But it can also become a kind of prison.

Because if we constantly search for something behind what is happening, we risk losing contact with what is actually right in front of us.

We begin looking for signs, hidden meanings and explanations instead of simply experiencing life directly.

I’ve experienced this myself many times.

Waiting, almost unconsciously, for something bigger to reveal itself before trusting what I already felt.

And maybe some of our freedom lies exactly there.

Not necessarily in giving up the magical —
but in pausing it for just a moment.

And then meeting the world as it is.

Without explanation.
Without symbolism.
Without the need for reality to become more than it already is.

The two photos were taken only days apart. One while leaving Mexico. The other the following day in Copenhagen.

Earlier, I probably would have seen more magic in one than the other.

I’m not so sure anymore.

I came to Mexico because it feels like a home I don’t fully know yet.

With the hope of reconnecting with old relationships and creating new ones.

But old habits got in the way.

I got so caught up in plans and expectations that I didn’t see what was right in front of me - the people, the places, the opportunity for real connections.

Instead, I saw my own ideas about them.

It’s a comfortable way of being in the world where we can try to create order and predictability.

Often, it just becomes part of everyday routine.

But it also creates distance.

The philosopher Martin Buber describes this as the difference between an I–It and an I–Thou relationship.

In I–It, we turn the world into something we can understand and categorize.

In I–Thou, we meet what is without a filter.

It was only when I started to feel myself again that something shifted.

Not by trying harder.
Not by finding better strategies.

Just by being more present with what I was actually experiencing.

And slowly, the feeling of isolation began to dissolve.

And to my surprise and joy things also started happening (more about that soon).

Until then warm greetings from Mexico and Baljalla 🌿

27/04/2026

I’ve started paying more attention to my surroundings, finding a quiet joy in doing my part to leave the world a little more beautiful.

The other day, I picked up a piece of paper on the beach. It was lying there, crumpled, almost as if it was waiting to be found. I could see something was written on it, and the thought crossed my mind right away: I wonder if there’s a message here.

When I read it, I felt both surprised and genuinely touched. Not because it was spectacular, but because it was human. Familiar. Honest. Alive and fragile.

It made me realize something simple and beautiful: we are all moving through our own journeys, our own adventures - and sometimes our paths cross in the most unexpected ways.

A note left on a beach. A small glimpse into someone else’s world. A quiet reminder that we’re not alone in this.

Happy Sunday from México

Before arriving in Mexico I had a lot of ideas and plans for my time here. But looking back I think I was dead wrong about a basic thing.

I thought my "success" was measured in what I created here. That I had leave something concrete and material behind to feel accomplished.

But that’s not what’s really driving me and it was something much simpler that showed me this:

I started going to the beach every day.

Not to think.
Not to figure anything out.
Just to be there.

And honestly?
It was harder than I expected.

Thoughts showed up fast:
“Shouldn’t I be doing something?”
“Is this a waste of time?”

That quiet pressure to always be productive.

But when I let that go .. something else happened.

The sun and the shade.
The ocean.
The breeze.

Not as thoughts.
But as experiences.

And it feels really good to actually register my feelings and stay in contact with them.

Why would I not enjoy spending time on a nice, sunny beach, shade in place, cooler with food and something to drink, reading a little if I want to, the ocean right there to play and cool down in, running into friends and other beach goers?!

It´s like I’m only just learning what it means to actually be in time and place. Not just to "get something out of it" (whatever that means).

The strange part is:

The less I try to direct my attention towards some fancy goals I have concocted, the more I actually experience and receive.

Calm.
Joy.
Presence.

Towards myself and towards others.

Less agenda.
More connection.

I don’t know where it leads. I don´t even know if it´s a phase (I hope not).

But it feels like a healthy place to begin.

So... if you ever happen to see me on my big beach carpet at Cerritos (or anywhere else) feel free to DROP BY ANYTIME.

And let´s do absolutely NOTHING of any importance for a little while 🏖

ps: Thanks to .smejkal for pointing out the dead bird right in front of us!! I guess there´s still room for even more presence 🥳

It’s been a while since I last shared anything here.

To be honest, the past months have been filled with thoughts, challenges, and a relentless feeling of standing still. I told myself I would keep sharing along the way - I didn’t.

I got stuck.

But something else has been moving.

I’ve been re-reading The Second S*x, and it has triggered some uncomfortable realizations.

One in particular:
That, to a large extent, I am the one building the prison I sometimes feel trapped in.

Not because the world is holding me back - but because I convince myself that I can’t leave a mark.

It becomes a loop:
Do I give up and find peace in that?
Or act - and risk disappointment?

My time in Mexico has made this very clear. I’ve been here for almost six months, and honestly, I don’t have much concrete to show for it. Yes, there have been practical obstacles, but I’ve also let them stop me more than necessary.

I could have pushed harder.

I didn’t.

And that has revealed something simple:
Sometimes I choose what feels safe. Staying on the sidelines. Without really considering what could become ..

That’s not how I want to exist.

Not in a dramatic way. But in this sense:
I don’t have to repeat the pattern.
I want to be present. To act. To create. To be in the world - not just think about it.

For the past five years I’ve been part of a weekly, online therapy group, and lately something has become very clear:

What I thought was the hardest… might actually be the easiest.

To open up.
To be honest.
To reach out.

Unfamiliar, maybe, but not dangerous.

The difficult part is something else:
Turning down the voice that says I’m not enough. That I have to prove my worth before I’m allowed to be here.

If I can quiet that voice, I give myself a chance.

And that’s where I am now.

In the middle of a process.
Not finished. But finally moving.

Surrounded by kind, beautiful people.

I know I have a lot to be happy about.

And grateful for a fun game night in Cerritos yesterday - thank you Fernanda, James, Kapri, Elliott and Al 🙏

PS: Fernanda: You KILLED in this game 💯
