Before your last sentence I thought, "wow this person is some kind of space alien." But as soon as you said "this is in Sweden," I understood you completely. I don't know what that says about me or Sweden. But it all clicked into place.




Maybe because you remember that statistic about single person households from a couple of days ago, I think Sweden was 3rd place globally? Though it's also a very happy country statistically, maybe something about the geography and upbringing which make that work better than in countries with comparable numbers but worse results (e.g. Germany or Netherlands)...

Yes you kind of feel like an extraterrestrial living like this, which could be another drawback.

I find comfort in these quotes however:

“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” — Jiddu Krishnamurti

and…

“I look crazy but I'm not. And the funny thing is that other people don't look crazy but they are.” — eden ahbez
