What I’m doing now

Embracing fatherhood
It's been almost two years since the birth of our son. One thing is clear – becoming a parent is a wild ride.
Becoming a parent is hard work, and I've found that it have taken more more time than I've anticipated to adapt to the new way of life that parenthood entails.
But now, it feels natural. I've adapted.
I love being with my son.
I try to stay present.
I try to not "fix" everything.
I try to be there.
Sometimes I fail as a parent, but most of the time I don't. As we all do.
Simplifying life
Less is more.
You don't need more things.
Double down on what sparks your interest.
Create joy for others, and joy will come to you.
Enjoy the ride.
Working with my hands
For the past few years, I've been all about coding. I've spent my days using my mind to create things.
Now, since we bought a house, I've been working with my hands as well. It's been great fun learning about carpentry, plumbing, and all other things that one can learn about taking care of a house.
Spending time in nature
As often as I can I get out in the woods with my partner. There's an indescribable peace to being surrounded by vast forests and streams of water. Being in nature gives me strength and allows my mind to clear.
However, there's a certain irony to escaping the place you live at the first chance to become more peaceful. So we bought a house in the forest. It's great. We spend a few days every week at the house, fixing stuff, walking in the forest and fishing in the lake.
