I've always been a overthinker.
Since I was little I always wondered why I got named Lars-Erik.
I got bullied for having that name, people have questioned me if that's actually my real name. Alot of people thought I've been lying when I presented myself. To them the name doesn't fit the face and I can understand them. I really don't look my name and I don't really care.
Too me my name has a deeper meaning.
Lars-Erik
Lars-E-rik
Lars Àr rik which translates to Lars is rich..
Which is contradictory because I've never been rich in a monetary sense but I've been blessed with richness in other ways. I've always had a roof over my head, I've always had food to eat, I've always had a loving family and I've always had the ability to love everyone no matter what. I never even get mad by the way people treat me anymore I always try to be kind and show them love in return. And since I've become a Christian it's been even easier to love and accept anyone.
Because:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Knowing and understanding this makes everything in life easier.
And a small side note on my name.
The initials of Lars-Erik becomes LE and that translates to Smile. And after todays episodes you'll never find me without a big smile on my face đ
Xoxo Lars-Erik the lovebomber â€ïžđŁ
I'm turning 36 years young today đ
I've never felt more loved and appreciated than I have the last couple of weeks and I want to thank each and everyone of you out there sending me such loving messages â€ïž
One thing that will make me keep this smile on my face is the wonderful conversations that you people start with me whenever I'm going about my day. I love all of these small interactions they really are joyful and I love sharing life experiences with you like I had the opportunity to do with Manuel, who's in the second picture. Thank you for stopping us and having a chat đ
With that said I must admit that the last couple of years have been hard and the path I've been walking on has not always been that clear. But something that has helped me through these hard times is a saying that goes like this: "God gives his toughest battles to his strongest warriors". I always think of this when I face adversity and it has helped me through most these though situations. The book of Job has also been something to help me cope with all the trails and tribulations I've faced.
So to those out there that are going through a though situation right now. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight". I promise it will make life a lot easier đ
And a special thanks to the wonderful photographer đž @catvisuals_
Not only is she an amazing photographer but she also made me have some of the most interesting conversations I've had in a while. Nothing but love for you đ«¶
The reunion is finally out and there's a couple of things I need to say.
First of I want to congratulate the only couple that made it to the alter. I must say @ibbegergi and @anielaofficial are two of the most wonderful people I've had the pleasure getting to know in my life. I can without a doubt say that they will have a long, happy and healthy relationship. You both will be the best parents a child could have, you will give your child everything a child needs to live a good life. I wish both of you the best on your endeavors â€ïž
Secondly, I want to thank all the other participants that have helped me through the journey of Love is Blind. I honestly don't know what would have happened without your love and support. Much love to all of you â€ïž
Last but not least I want to thank God for everything he's given me and I'll end with these bibelverse.
Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,"
Jesus is king đ
Ps, a special thanks to my girlfriend who has been there for me through the good and the bad. You're the best and I love you đ„°
I really want to thank everyone once again. The love and support I've been getting is nothing more than a blessing from above. When I entered the experimentet called Love is Blind I never thought about what would happened after the showed aired. Now I'm almost speechless. I never thought god would bless me with so much kindness and support.
Even though almost everyone has been kind to me I've come to the realization that not every participant has had this fortune and I would like the people in my comment section to not speak ill of anyone. Please don't let your feelings cause you to write anything ill or mean to anyone or about anyone. I do not stand for or condone that type of behavior.
I'd like to share two Bible verses that describes what I mean:
Luke 6:31 , "Treat others just as you want to be treated".
Matthew 7:12 ,"So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets".
God bless đâ€ïž
I just want to take a moment to tell all the mothers how important your life purpose is. To care for your children and give motherly love is one of the most precious things for a child. So don't forget to give that love to your children no matter what. You are all great and I wish God blesses every single mom out there because I know it isn't always easy â€ïž
I honestly don't know where I would have ended up if it wasn't for my mother's never ending love. What ever I did in life she was always there for me. Through the good and the bad she always stood by my side. Today's my mothers birthday and unfortunately she's not here anymore and that breaks my heart.
My mothers life purpose was to spread the gospel. There wasn't a day where she didn't speak about Jesus and how he saved her life. And let me tell you she saved a bunch of lives spreading the gospel too. So I hope my participation in Love is blind would have made her happy.
Everyday I strive to become a man which she would be proud of calling her son.
Happy birthday mom I love you and I miss you â€ïžđŁ
Denna veckan i Love is blind Sverige fick alla se en sida av mig som jag inte vÄgat visa sÄ mycket i mitt liv vilket Àr min tro och att det blivit sÄ exponerat har varit övervÀldigande. DÄ visste jag inte att det skulle bli en sÄdan stor snackis bara för att man bad en bön. Men det kanske Àr just tro och kristendomen vi behöver prata om i Sverige. Det Àr trotsallt dÀrifrÄn vÄra grundlÀggande moraler kommer ifrÄn i detta land.
Jag vill tacka alla grabbarna som accepterade att jag skulle be för oss. Det gjorde sÄ otroligt mycket för mig eftersom det var första gÄngen jag vÄgat be öppet för nÄgon.
Slutligen till mina bröder och systrar i Kristus vĂ„ga visa att ni tror pĂ„ nĂ„got större hĂ€r i vĂ€rlden och stĂ„ upp för det ni tror pĂ„ đ
Christ is king đ
Denna torsdagen sÄ hoppas jag att ni fÄr en reveal pÄ lite mer av min personlighet och vem jag Àr
tills dess sĂ„ fĂ„r ni vĂ€ll kalla mig â€ïžđŁ "the lovebomber" đŁâ€ïž
Jag vill Àven tacka en person som funnits dÀr extra mycket för mig under hela resan. Tack min broder @aronwaalker . Du har sagt att du lÀrt dig mycket av mig men det Àr ömsesidigt. Ditt sÀtt att kunna kommunicera och uttrycka dina kÀnslor Àr en inspiration för mig och kommer bli för mÄnga mÀn i framtiden.
DÄ har aftonbladet gÄtt ut med vilka som Àr med i denna sÀsongen av Love is blind s3 och dÀr finner ni yours truly Dondanielsson. Hoppas alla tittare fÄr skratta och grÄta med mig eller skratta sÄ ni grÄter Ät mig om jag ens kommer med. Hur som helst sÄ fÄr ni vÀnta tills 12 mars för att veta vad som hÀnde i mitt kÀrleks liv 2025.
Ett stort tack till @netflixnordic och @loveisblindnetflix för att jag fick vara med pÄ denna underbara upplevelsen.
