What if musicals were the key to time travel?

✨ Me and Majsan, all smiles in front of *FLOWERS FOR MRS. HARRIS*, the best musical I saw in all of 2024 💐🎭. This throwback pic, the oldest on my iPhone, was snapped on December 8th at Wermland Opera in Karlstad, Sweden 🇸🇪. We’d come to see Niklas Riesbeck’s stunning direction—he’s truly one of Sweden’s two greatest musical theatre directors (the other? Markus Virta, of course) 🌟.

Majsan stands to my right, radiant at 60 in her navy jacket and glasses, clutching the floral program 🌸. I’m there in my acid green beanie 🟢, sequin hoodie 💙, graffiti-puffed jacket 🎨, white jeans 🤍, and dark green sneakers 👟—serving accidental street couture 😎.

We’d started the day early—Martin (who took the photo) and I met at Stockholm Central 🚆 and took the train to Karlstad. It was a Sunday, so we stumbled into a church service ⛪ (not my usual vibe 😅) before meeting Majsan at the vegan-friendly spot Zest 🥗. Martin, ever iconic, stripped in the church courtyard to change into jeans he’d just bought 👖😂.

The third image shows the glowing auditorium just before curtain-up 🎟️, with a dreamy cross-stitched scene of Paris—Eiffel Tower and Seine in pastel pink and turquoise 🌆🪡. The story, about a British cleaning lady turned couture icon, fit perfectly among seamstresses and dreams 💭🧵.

This memory means the world to me. A day of friends, trains, fashion, theatre, vegan food, and unfiltered joy 🚴‍♂️💬🌟.

Birthday at the Theatre

This is the Oldest Photo on my Phone, taken on April 13, 2023, which is my birthday, and it features me and my friend Majsan sitting in the audience at a show at Playhouse Teater in Stockholm. I couldn't quite remember what show we were seeing, so I checked my calendar, and it was WEST END STOCKHOLM'S production of WE WILL ROCK YOU. I remember Majsan gave me a really nice candle as a birthday gift, and the show was surprisingly good.

Captured on April 13, 2023, this photo shows me and Majsan at the Playhouse Teater, excitedly waiting for the show to start. The main focus is our happy faces, lit up with anticipation and joy. The warm, cozy theater setting adds to the atmosphere, filled with the buzz of an eager audience.

Featuring myself and my dear friend Majsan, this moment is special because it was my birthday, and spending it watching a live performance made it unforgettable. The show was a delightful surprise, exceeding our expectations and adding a touch of magic to the day. 

The emotions in this photo are pure happiness and excitement. It was a perfect birthday celebration, combining the thrill of live theater with the warmth of friendship. The candle gift from Majsan was the cherry on top, a thoughtful gesture that made the day even more special.

This photo is meaningful to me because it captures a beautiful memory of a milestone birthday, shared with a close friend in a vibrant cultural setting. It's a reminder of the joy that comes from simple pleasures and shared experiences.

Sharing this moment with you all brings back wonderful memories. If you love theater, birthdays, and spending quality time with friends, this photo is for you. It's about celebrating special occasions, cherishing friendships, and enjoying the performing arts.

What's your favorite way to celebrate a birthday?
