A feature by Ida Lødemel Tvedt

What is that about?

I have always made sure there was room for solitude in my life. But not consciously. It was only later, looking back, that I saw the decisions that I made had to do with that. But at the time, when I was twenty-two years old and I chose to stay in the country while my friends were going to the city… What was that about? I didn’t, at that time, understand, but later I did. I have made hard choices, I have given up, I think, a lot of opportunity to make sure I had the time I needed in order to be.
