As we step into 2025, it feels like this year has already piled up with activities, and now it's time for me to sit down and create a priority list. Around this same time last year, I applied for a TEDx license with the vision of organizing Landskrona's first live TEDx event. My goal was to unearth some incredible spirits I’ve met during my time in this little-known city.
I didn't focus on tech or innovative topics. Instead, I centered the event around art and design, weaving them together with the admirable human spirit. I don't think there’s another TEDx out there that features a metal drummer kicking off the event with live, hardcore drumming alongside an inspirational talk about self-kindness. The experience of curating this event, with speakers sharing their unique stories and expertise, was truly enjoyable.
The core team and volunteers who came together to make this event happen added to the amazement. Now, the city is inquiring whether I would consider doing it again. I believe events like this instill a sense of pride in our community, even though organizing it requires a tremendous amount of work. So, will there be TEDxLandskrona 2025?
As I contemplate whether to take on this challenge again, I must also focus on my master's thesis this spring and search for PhD positions. Alongside these responsibilities, I have my creative projects that I’m passionate about and places I need to visit. How am I going to structure it all? Right now, I’m faced with a lot of floating question marks.
As much as I am excited about the potential projects and events, I’m reminded of the biggest lesson I learned last year: to seek clarity inward and not let the pressure of time and external affairs lose my authentic self. More than just milestones of accomplishment, I yearn to deepen connections with loved ones and meet kindred spirits who share this journey of growth. I see the fragments from the Big Bang slowly coming together, and I want to make sure I’m not trapped by what feels important and miss the chance to truly connect.
I suppose that a year from now, seven days into 2026, some of those question marks will evolve into something else...for now, I live in peace with Carl Jung's thought and this equation ???=??????
