Three years ago I was living my best life. There’s not other place I’d rather be right now but I’m also very nervous going back. Not just the planning, the rules and restrictions, the papers and PCR tests. It just feels like a lifetime ago. Last time I was there, early 2020, I had plans to stay forever-ish. Then corona happened and everyone including myself literally fled the country. In April 2020 Bangkok literally felt like a ghost town.
I’ve been thinking a lot of what was left there, and what it’s like now. The chance of going back makes me remember just how much I’ve missed it. If all goes well I will be back in just a week’s time. It feels… unreal.

These past two (three?) years have been crazy. We’re all coping in different ways I guess. I’ve been exploring Tiktok, re-installing The Sims, started jogging and spent a lot of time scrolling my phone. Not gonna lie, my screen time have been insane since. That’s why I’m thinking this blog needs a revival. I don’t have much to say but I miss posting random photos. My phone is filled with moments, memories and memes that will never see the light of day unless I’m bored scrolling then sending them across several group chats.
Since last time I’ve moved to Copenhagen, been in a lockdown in my new lovely apartment, moved twice (including moving back to the lovely apartment), been to Vienna and New York, seen Yung Lean live, watched Curb Your Enthusiasm again and continued to work with my own company. It’s high and low. Now we’re facing another war and I just try not to go crazy. I’ve also booked a trip to Thailand.
Stumbled upon my own and long forgotten Flickr-account and realized that there once was a time when you actually used compact cameras to take photos? May have to post a bunch of them later but here’s four snapshots:
It’s official! Since end of last year have my own company called very sad communications. sad communication (in short, just sad) summarises me pretty well. It’s emo, a little silly and also abbreviates my full name Sara Domeij. Despite the company name, I am both skilled and professional and will mainly do e-commerce stuff and all things related. Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you want to collaborate on something fun or need my help. This space on the internet will remain for now, but don’t forget to pay a visit to sad communication every once in a while, it’s still in progress but soon enough I will update it with some cool cases. Until then, we’ll always have Linkedin.

So I quit my job and left Stockholm to do what I like most: train muay thai, hang out with my bff, swim in a pool and eat tons of tropic fruits/drink a lot of icy drinks everyday. So far, it’s looking like this:
This is the first time in my adult life that I am experiencing some sort of zen and I am trying to appreciate every single moment of it.
From 2019, I will be consulting as a freelance e-commerce manager and digital strategist but my business is already up and running. It’s called very sad communications (in short: sad). Just like me. Jk lol. More info coming soon. xx
Since I spent the whole summer abroad I had to make the most of my first week back in Stockholm: swimming, drinking and hanging out with my friends. It’s only been one week but it feels like I didn’t leave in the first place.
I’m back in Bangkok for some time, working remotely, working out and hanging out with my bff who moved here this spring. Absolutely in love with this city, always. This weekend we had brunch at The Commons in Thong Lo and it looked like this:
