# 8 // Karlskrona (2000)
Grow up in the inner city of Karlskrona, at least live there during your teens. When you are around 17-18, get to know some friends, boyfriends or girlfriends in the area of Lyckeby. Visit them in the evenings, go by bus. Move to Göteborg when you are in your twenties, settle in Majorna or a nearby area. Go by bus or tram if you are going somewhere. Return to Karlskrona for christmas when you are in your thirties. Some night, a few days before Christmas eve, take the bus with destination Lyckeby from Ronnebygatan. While you are sitting on the bus, read, for the first time, Gå ut min själ by Åke Edvardsson. Read the book, look out through the window, notice the similarities in interior decoration on public transport. When the journey is over you should have read about 35-40 pages. (If you have read the book earlier, choose another, similar in character and content. Try to make certain that nothing unpleasant is described in the pages you are about to read, this is not about being uncomfortable, it is about the moment when you feel the uncertainty of where you belong. Or when you feel that home is two places.) This piece can also work well under other circumstances.
