Ends and New Beginnings.


 

I started my first blog back in 2005. These past seven years have been absolutely amazing as well as unbearably painful, and blogging about it have certainly helped ease some of that pain. I've met wonderful people, felt a lot less lonely, like I was a part of something. 

It's been pretty great. But now it's time to focus on being a part of something out here, away from the screen. Thank you so, so much for sharing this experience with me! I wish you all the best. (You know, good health, a great sex life, well-behaved children, all that stuff.)

Take care, be good and kind to yourselves (and preferably to others, too) and don't waste time on crap you're not really passionate about. Oh, and always treat cats with love and respect. Do not insult them. They hold grudges.

  1. :-( Ingen blogg alls, inte ens på svenska?
    Oavsett vad, jag har älskat alla dina tre bloggar (som jag har läst) och kommer att sakna dina vackra ord och foton. Ta hand om dig!

    1. Tack snälla rara! Nej, nu blir det inget mer bloggande. Jag har känt i ett halvår att det får räcka, och nu i dagarna kändes det plötsligt viktigt att ta tag i det. Tusen tack för att du läst och kommenterat under de här åren! Ha det jättefint. Kram!

  2. This kind of feels like loosing a close friend since I have been reading your blog for years now. (to be honest i even tried to find an e-mail address so that I could send you a long e-mail.) Because you are amazing and it's sad to lose you as a fellow blogger.

    You might now think that I am completely crazy. I'm not.

    But do have a good life and hopefully we'll hear from you somewhere again.

    Lots of hugs!

  5. I just discovered your blog earlier this year, and I sincerely enjoyed reading what you had to say. I appreciate your style and your honesty and candor. Needless to say I will miss hearing from you. I wish I would have found you sooner! I am incredibly happy for you concerning your recent engagement. I wish you the best!

  7. Goodness, I'll miss you like crazy. May I have your email address so I can email you someday and see how you're doing? Since I've been blogging you were the one blogger I really wanted to meet and be friends with. You're gorgeous, inside and out. I adore you, and I know you're going to make your life into something beautiful.

    May the force be with you.

  13. Thank you Annika for being such a wonderful, optimistic and inspiring presence on the blogosphere!
    According to Annika has been a favourite of mine - blog-wise - for a while now, and it seems quite surreal to think that you want to step away from it. But, I am happy that - as a result - you will be able to pursue many other hobbies and wishes.

    Best Wishes,

    1. Dear Tara, thank you for those amazingly kind words! I had to check out your blog and it didn't take me many minutes to discover what a beautiful writer - and person - you are. Your blog is now bookmarked and I will most definitely make sure to stop by.

      I do wish I could keep blogging, but I've spent six months debating the subject with myself, and I know that shutting it down is the right thing to do. I just wish I could still keep you guys around! Good thing many of you have your own blogs that I can follow...

      With love,

      Annika

  16. It’s very sad that this post’s the last. Your blog inspires hundreds of girls (or even more) and me too. It gives us a lot of ideas how to be stylish, pretty, independent; teaches to stay brave and positive. Thank you, Annika!
    I wish you the best!!

  18. This is my first comment. I usually don't often comment on blogs, even though I check some of them 176764 times a day, just to make sure I didn't miss a new post or sometimes just to scroll through old ones. I've just discovered your blog a few months ago, but I've been immersed in another world everytime I've visited. I love the way you write and I think you have an amazing eye for the beauty of life which you capture in all these wonderful photos. I think it was you (and your blog) that inspired me to finally take up again my blog and pursue my dream of being a (great, preferably!) writer - like you are.
    So when I saw your post today that you're ending this blog, I was really shocked and devastated, but I want to say thank you for everything you've shared! And also to say sorry to have sneaked onto your blog for so many times without leaving a comment to say how much I enjoy it! :)
    All the best,
    Iseult from Germany (as you can probably guess by my English!)

  21. Jag har aldrig kommenterat på din blogg förut men nu måste jag ju det, för att tacka och säga att jag verkligen tyckt om din blogg och vad skrivit.
    Önkskar dig allt det bra i livet och tusentals pussar på katttassar (det är ju något av det bästa som finns!)

  22. Det känns overkligt att du lägger av nu. Din blogg har varit en oerhörd inspiration, inte alls modemässigt (då vi inte har samma stil alls vill jag påstå) utan mer i form av vilken sorts människa jag vill bli och hur jag vill leva mitt liv. Jag avskyr annars katter, men när jag ser dina vill jag säga att jag aldrig sett något sötare. Genom alla dessa år har du verkligen blivit en bättre och bättre människa och det har varit en ära att få följa din resa. Tack för den här tiden, fina du.

  23. Från Misshape till According to Annika, dina bloggar har följt med mig genom hela mitt vuxna liv. Tack för alla fina ord och bitar av ditt liv som du har delat med dig av. Önskar dig massor med lycka och kärlek med allt du har framför dig, Annika.

  24. I don't even know how I ended up here a few months ago, but it was in the middle of winter. Then I went back to read your old stuff. I'm a latecomer :)
    You seem to be a very intelligent, warm-hearted and sensible woman who has been through a lot of, well, bad shit. But this has made you strong.
    I've lost my father to cancer a few years ago and for some reason reading your posts and seeing you get healthier and healthier in every new picture fills my heart with joy. I mean it - I am happy for you, that you have so much other stuff to do that you cannot take care of a blog anymore.
    It's life pulling you in, for lots of beautiful things. I wish you luck with all my heart: with your health, with your engagement, with Ronnie, with the cats, with everything. a big fat hug - i'll miss reading your words, believe it or not. <3

  25. Jag har följt dig sedan 2007 och call me crazy men det senaste halvåret har det jämt känts som om någonting har saknats - din blogg. Antar att det blir så när man följt någon i fem år. Känns lite som att tappa kontaken med en gammal kär vän. Drömde förresten att jag sprang på dig i min hemstad häromnatten. Det var fint. Kommer sakna dig och din blogg (för att inte tala om dina kattbilder!) så otroligt mycket. All lycka till i livet och hamnar du någonsin i Malmö så säg till så jag kan springa på dig ;)

  26. I'm a Danish follower and I've followed your blog about a year or so. This is my first comment - and I guess my last as well - on your blog, which makes me a little sad.

    Everything you have written has seemed so honest ... and I admire you BIG TIME for sharing your life, the good as well as the bad parts of it.

    Just wanted to wish you luck in the future. I'm going to miss your magic words and your cat pictures.

  29. Dear Annika! I've followed your blog since you started According to Annika, and you've been immensely inspiring in so many ways. I haven't been too active in the comment field, but now I just wanted to say that I've really enjoyed following your blog! I'm, of course, sad that you are quitting, but I wish you all the best on your new adventures! Hope to see your creative work somewhere else in the future. And I hope, and suppose you'll continue writing, you really have a way to reach people.

    Wish you all the best,

  30. Åh, nu blev jag nästan ledsen. Har följt dig i i alla fall 6 år. Du var min stora förebild när jag gick i högstadiet! Och du är fortfarande en förebild förstås. Jag kommer sakna dig!

  31. Annika!

    I haven't been following your blog for as long as many of the other people who have commented but I've grown to really love what you have to share. This actually may be my first (and my last) comment ever on your blog. That idea has a hollow sound to it...

    To be honest, the first day I came across your blog, I went through pages and pages and pages of your postings. I spent a lot of time getting to know you and your style. I read about depression and about clothes and about taking pictures and editing them and cats and love and everything else in the universe. From everything I read, I learned a little and I changed a little as I filed away little mental notes in my mind. I guess now that you're about to stop blogging, I can share that with you without sounding like a freak and a stalker :)

    Thank you for sharing so much with me and all of your other readers. I'll miss your words and your pictures and somewhere deep down inside, I'll keep secretly hoping that you'll one day return to posting. Until then, I'll remember all that I've learned from you. I truly cannot thank you enough.


    I wish you all the best and every happiness ever possible in life!! :D

    1. Oh Annika, I'm saddened to hear your blogging is stopping, but I more than understand. I wish you the absolute BEST in your new beginnings. (I'm so happy to hear that they are some coming. I was getting worried about you for a few months there).

      May I put in a little request? I'm not sure if/when you want to shut this blog down, but could you leave it up for a couple of days? I have a bunch of your blog posts bookmarked and I'd like to reread through them before they're all gone!

      I'll miss seeing your posts, but I wish you the absolute best in moving forward. Please live a full wonderful life! I'm so glad I got to share a small part of your life through your writings and pictures. *hugs*

  32. Dear Annika,
    Thank you for allowing us to get to know you in this special way. May your life be rich, adventurous and amazing. I have loved reading your blog and I have just gotta say your cats are fabulous!!!!
    God Bless you always,
    Autumn.
    P.S. Will you be abandoning this blog or deleting it? I'd love to be able to go back occasionally and re read you amazing inspiring words.

  34. Jag vill mest säga tack, dina texter har gett mig mycket genom åren. Mer än jag kunnat ana när jag först, som fjortonåring, började läsa om ditt liv i Norrköping där jag känner till vägarna.

    Jag önskar dig all lycka fram över Annika!

  35. Annika, like others have said I thought your blog was something very special. I will miss reading it.

    I am also delightfully happy that you can have these new beginnings. Like your other readers I was very worried about you but your recovery was a wonderful thing to see.

    I wish you all the best.

  36. Jag har följt dig så himla länge även om jag inte kommenterat så ofta som jag kanske borde. Tänkte bara säga att jag kommer sakna dina texter väldigt mycket. Och att jag hoppas din instagram fortsätter existera, jag behöver lite fluffiga katter och hästar i min feed.

  38. Dear Annika,

    I've been following you since you started this blog, came back every day (at least) twice to check in since, because your blog was the most perfect thing on the internet for me. I loved the little things we had in common, my first recollection at According to Annika, when we had a long comment-discussion about the absolute importance of pretty looking food :]
    You inspired me to start my own blog, to write better with more enthusiasm, to use humor and to dress more bravely, and all in all I'm just thankful to had the chance to see a part of your life. I hope you won't delete this blog, (I'm sure you won't!) because it was so much fun the read your posts over and over again, and gain more and more inspiration from your outfits. You were the one blogger I wanted to meet in person too, maybe it sounds a bit intruder, but I imagined, that if I'll visit Stockholm, I'd definitely ask you to meet me if for only a few minutes...
    This 'new chapter' however sounds very exciting, maybe you're going to build a big and happy family, we don't know, but this new chapter is not for us to know. Anyway I hope that you're going to find in it all the happiness you deserve.
    And I'm also happy, that if I'll feel that way and the hole you leave behind becomes so unbearable, I can write to you, so it's a bit cheering that not all contact is lost.
    My god, I'm just not able to say goodbye, this blog was... I can't find the words, but I know that this blog meant a LOT to you too, so I won't get started on this again :]
    I'm sending you lots of love, and leaving with the thought that I'll have the possibility to get in touch. Thank you for everything!

  41. I feel the kind of sad one feels when finishing a great book, or an amazing movie, when all you really wanted was for them to never end. Some magic will definitely be missing from my life.

    You were the living proof that there are outstanding girls out there in the world, and by letting us be a part of your world and life, it shaped us for the better.

    I built the courage to write you an e-mail (or two) last year, maybe I'll dare myself to do it again someday :)

    The bright part of all this (and I know we have to focus on that) is that a fresh new chapter of your life is awaiting to be discovered and I wish you healthy days, pure joy, never ending love and all the other great stuff you deserve.

    I still hope that someday I'll be reading a book written by you ♥

    I'll miss you ( and your precious little fluffies) dearly, Annika :)

  42. Oh Annika, I feel like this has been coming for a long time, but I still long for the days where I'd hop on the computer and you'd be there, with a new outfit post. You really ignited my deserve to travel, because your house and your life seemed so unreal to me, a real city girl and it really is something I pray I will experience someday.

    Thank you for your posts, for the ones that made me smile, and especially for the ones that made me cry. I wish you all the best in your life, because you, of all people in the world, deserve it.

    So much love,

  47. Our dear Annika,

    Although it feels, as Nicoleta said above, like the far-too-soon ending of a really fascinating book, we all support you and wish you all the very best on your new life endeavours. The internet is wonderful, but it's important to remember that there's a rich, vibrant life off-screen, too.

    I first found your blog via Sandra of Niotillfem, and I was immediately captivated by your gorgeous pictures, insightful musings, and wise words. Your experience with cancer also resonated with me, since I'm also 28, and have a genetic condition that has made me far too familiar with skin cancer surgeries. It can be a very isolating and confusing experience, but one that is rich in life lessons and a new gratitude for life. Your insights on your trials with cervical cancer made me feel less alone, and I am ever-grateful for that. Like all your readers, I was sending heaps of good thoughts your way for a successful surgery, and a speedy recovery, and we're all thrilled that you're in better health.

    Thank you for your candidness and your irrepressible sense of humour. Thank you for inspiring us all to search for the beauty life has to offer. You're a fantastic writer, and I look forward to great things from you in the future!

    Cheers to you!

    You know what, we have so much in common in some aspects, so you're very close to me. I think thanks to your blog I'm a little better person :) By the way by reading your posts I practised my english (sorry for mistakes):). It's a shame I don't have an opportunity to meet you in real life. I think we could get on well with each other.

    I'm sooo sad that you won't write your notes any more. But you're right, there are more iportant things in life... Thanks for all your thoughts you shared with us, they are precious to me. Maybe you could not delete your blog, then we could read again your posts from time to time, but of course it's only a suggestion, I would be soo happy then :), I think all readers would be happy.

    I wish you a happy life, especially a good health! I'll miss you so much! Do you know that you have a lot of supporters and fans, don't you? :) Love you Annika :) Bye!

  58. I miss you, Annika, I miss your writing, your sensivity, your sense of aesthetics. You made me feel a lot less lonely many, many times.

    I remember when I was sitting alone in a completely empty home, my boyfriend was far away, and I was freaking out a little bit - scared to go to bed. And the same night you wrote that post, about being in excactly the same situation... crazy, huh? Reading yor blog made me feel a lot better, stronger. The fact that there is someone feeling the same way was really comforting. Priceless :) I wrote a very long email to my boyfriend and fell asleep.

    It's very, very sad that this is your last post.
    I wish you the best! Hugs!

  60. Som så många andra här i kommentarsfältet blir det här min första och sista kommentar på din blogg. När jag fann according to annika för några månader sedan så slukade jag gamla inlägg i flera timmar per dag. Jag var helt manisk och betagen av din ton. Du förvandlar ord och meningar till magi och inspirerar mig till att vara sann mot mig själv. Ditt öga för de små fina tingen, vardagslyckan och den råa ärligheten ha gett mig så mycket. Dina texter har gjort mig starkare som person.

    Jag önskar dig all lycka i allt du tar dig ann i framtiden. Och jag menar det verkligen, från botten av mitt hjärta.

  65. Aww what a shame. I suppose there is no point in continuing with something that you do not have the passion for anymore. I really will miss your writing and was secretly hoping for some more of your creative looks. If you do feel the urge again, everyone will be more than pleased to see your posts again. All the best and I hope you find what will make you happy and you are in good health again xx

  66. Jag hoppas hur som helst innerligt att du vill fortsätta att skriva för andra i någon form. Reportage, krönikor, noveller, romaner ... Det har varit en sådan ynnest att få läsa ditt fantastiska språk och ta del av dina kloka tankar och din underbara humor.

    Varma hälsningar Matilda

  68. Oh.

    För ett tag sedan bestämde jag mig för att ta en paus. En paus från bloggar, vloggar, forum och communities. Jag valde att göra det av många olika anledningar. I stället spenderade jag tid med saker som inte innebar att sitta passiv framför en upplyst skärm.
    Sedan dess har jag tänkt en hel del på dig. Hoppats att du haft det bra. Att saker och ting går åt det håll de ska gå åt.
    På sätt och vis blir jag inte förvånad, inte förvånad alls, när jag återvänder till en bloggpost såsom denna. Jag har full förståelse för att du väljer att välja bort det textbaserade vansinne som bloggvärlden ändå är. But I have to tell you that I'm sure gonna miss you. Dina texter, dina bilder, dina katter. Personligen anser jag att bloggosfären mest består av irritation och konflikter och falsk empati. Men dina bloggar har alltid stått på ett mycket högre plan än så. De har varit den enda trygga, rationella, roliga och genuint ödmjuka frizonen i denna hetsiga ankdamm. Rolf Fridholm once said: "Somliga lägger man inte märke till förrän de håller käft." And that's true. Fast inte i bloggvärlden. Där är alla sådana urblekta kopior av varandra att man sällan märker när någon försvinner. Men trots din låga profil kommer din frånvaro definitivt att märkas. Dina bloggar var de enda som någonsin stod ut i mängden.

    Oh, look at me. Rambling again. Jag ville bara tacka för alla underbara texter.
    You are truly one of a kind, fina Annikaka.
    Jag hoppas sannerligen att jag, inom en inte alltför avlägsen framtid, kommer att snubbla på en roman i bokhandeln, med ditt namn på omslaget.
    Ta hand om dig.

    I'll see you all at Okie Dogs. <3

  71. Jag har inte läst någon av dina bloggar regelbundet, utan mer tittat in då och då, som man hälsar på en gammal vän för att se hur hen mår, om livet är lite enklare nu. Idag gjorde jag det igen, tittade in, och upptäckte ett hej då men också att det går att gå vidare i livet trots att det är livet som sviker mest. För länge sedan följde jag din användare på Helgon och någon gång skrev du något till mig, du gjorde mig lite gladare, förmodligen för att du var så cool (själv var jag sinnessjukt töntig). Kanske skriver jag det här för att du någon gång var vänlig mot mig, kanske för att bilden på era förlovade händer var vacker, kanske för att oavsett av att jag inte känner dig så har du i sjukdomen berört. Tack, tack för allt, för att du delat med dig. Lev väl, du förtjänar all lycka som är möjlig att få.

  72. Awh no! You were my inspiration to start my own blog because you were one of the few fashion bloggers with an amazing style but also a personality. I really lose my blogidol now. God this is sad. But I hope you'll find all the best things in life and if you ever ever want to come back. Pleaase yes. God I'm going to miss you!

  77. I'm so glad that you left your blog up so that your many, many readers can revisit favorite posts. I come back from time to time to look up pieces I recall you writing. I hope so much that your life is filled with a creative current that bears you ever forwards. Much love to you dear Annika x.

  78. Finaste Annika. Hoppas att du mår och har det toppen. Jag saknar att läsa din blogg. Även om jag inte kommenterade så ofta följde jag bloggen nästan varje dag i mer än 6 år. Håller tummarna för att du börjar blogga igen och att du låter hela världen veta det så jag kan följa din blogg igen.

  79. Hi Annika! I hope that you are having a good life out of the screen and your cat and boyfriend are nice to you... I have to say that I miss your posts, although I totally understand your decision. Sometimes "real" life requires lot of time and effort, isn't it?
    Lots of kisses from Barcelona!
