Om du tänker på hur du lever i dag, vad tycker du fungerar bra och vad skulle du vilja förändra?
I don’t think much about my life works well, I do not feel happy with my life. I wish this world was kinder, I wish I had a loving family, that getting a job was easier than it is and that being alive overall was easier. I wish there was more love in the world and that more people stood up and cared for the little people. I wish I had an apartment with a balcony where I could grow plants and maybe put a little chair and get the sun. I wish I would go to sleep earlier and get better sleep. I wish I was in love with something or someone and that it was a bit less cold inside my apartment. I would love to pet more other animals and smile at more people. I wish things were greener and warmer. I wish I could hold someone’s hand and give them a hug.
När du funderar på hur livet i Sverige, Norden och världen ser ut i dag, vad tycker du fungerar bra och vad skulle du vilja förändra?
I think what works well is the buses and a feeling of safety that I have not experienced before, I live in a smaller town so it feels a lot calmer and like nothing really happens here. Then I think welfare for those with disabilities and elders could be better, and maybe also the healthcare could be cheaper, I feel like it should be free. Even though the healthcare is cheaper than in other countries, I have met people who are very poor like myself that cannot afford to go to the doctor or are time poor and cannot go to the doctor due to work. I would like to see more individuality when it comes to speech and clothing, I feel like many Swedish people dress alike and act alike, which can be a benefit but can also be quite soul killing that every one is very stylish but in the same way. I think women’s rights should be also more respected, we have a lot of conversations about equality but wave away women’s concerns and minorities’ concerns for that matter. When confronted with any of the isms, the most common reaction is to wave it away and say it’s not as bad here or that it doesn’t exist instead of addressing it.
Hur vill du att Sverige, Norden och världen ser ut om 30 år? Och hur vill du att ditt eget liv eller efterkommande generationers ser ut?
Well I think maybe a more open and accepting society, our welfare state growing and having better living conditions in 30 years. The ideal society would be a place where young people could buy houses, food, go to the doctor without any concern if we could afford it or not. More of a loving place and less animals being eaten. This is my optimism talking but most likely we will get decimated by climate change or be dragged into a war and be facing the consequences.
Hur vill och tror du att livet i Sverige, Norden och världen ser ut om 150 år?
I truly would like to see an ACTUAL and fully equalitarian society where hunger, pain, struggle, discrimination, war, homelessness and animal exploitation would be a thing of the past. I wish the only struggles that people face in 150 years would be personal, but that the society would be there to help them. I would like to see unity and care for one another not to be optional. Most likely we would be extinct from climate change or a nuclear war, but I would like to see a good and loving place, even though maybe not the most realistic with the current government or way things are going.
