Man, what a day! I’m a shepherd, right? But today, I felt more like a lost sheep in the city of Tensta. Seriously, I woke up thinking it’d be chill, just me and my flock. But nah, Tensta had other plans.
First off, I hit the streets of Tensta, and wow, it was buzzing. I mean, I’m used to the quiet of the fields, but this was like a whole different world. I strolled down Tenstagången, and it was packed. People everywhere, chatting, laughing, and I’m just there, trying to blend in. Spoiler alert: I didn’t.
So, I’m walking, right? And I see this dude selling kebabs. I’m like, “Yo, I could go for some of that!” But then I remember I’m a shepherd, not a kebab connoisseur. But man, the smell was insane! I almost forgot about my sheep. Almost.
Then, outta nowhere, I bump into this old lady. She’s like, “Watch where you’re going, young man!” I’m like, “Sorry, ma’am! Just trying to find my way.” She gives me this look like I just insulted her sheep or something. I mean, c’mon, I’m a shepherd! I know my way around sheep!
Next, I head over to Tensta Centrum. It’s a whole vibe there. Shops, cafes, people just hanging out. I see a group of kids playing football. I’m thinking, “Man, I used to do that!” But then I remember I’m not a kid anymore. I’m a shepherd. So, I just watch. And then, one of the kids kicks the ball right at me! I’m like, “Dude, I’m not your goalpost!” But they just laugh. Kids, man. They don’t care.
After that, I decide to grab a coffee at this little café on Tensta Torg. I order a cappuccino, and the barista looks at me like I’m from another planet. “You sure you want that?” she asks. I’m like, “Uh, yeah? It’s coffee, right?” She shrugs and makes it. I take a sip, and it’s like heaven in a cup. I’m suddenly happy. Like, really happy.
But then, my phone buzzes. It’s my buddy, Erik. He’s like, “Dude, you gotta come to the park!” I’m thinking, “What park?” Turns out, he’s at Rinkeby Park, which is kinda close. So, I hustle over there.
When I get there, it’s a whole scene. People are grilling, music’s blasting, and I’m just standing there in my shepherd gear. I feel outta place, but whatever. I see Erik, and he’s like, “Bro, you made it!” I’m like, “Yeah, but I’m not dressed for a party!” He laughs and hands me a burger. I’m like, “Okay, this is more my speed.”
But then, outta nowhere, it starts to rain. I’m talking full-on downpour. Everyone’s scrambling for cover, and I’m just standing there, laughing. Like, really? This is how my day goes? I’m a shepherd, not a rain dancer!
So, I duck under a tree, and I see this couple trying to keep their picnic dry. They’re struggling, and I’m like, “Hey, you guys need a shepherd?” They laugh, and I end up sharing my burger with them. It’s a weird bonding moment, but hey, that’s Tensta for ya.
Finally, the rain stops, and the sun comes out. It’s like a scene from a movie. I’m feeling good, and I start chatting with people. I meet this artist who paints murals around Tensta. She’s super cool and tells me about her work on the walls of Tensta. I’m like, “That’s dope! I’d love to see that!”
As the day winds down, I’m walking back home, and I can’t help but think about how crazy it was. From kebabs to rainstorms to new friends, Tensta really threw me for a loop. I’m a shepherd, but today, I felt like I was part of something bigger.
So yeah, Tensta, you wild. I’ll be back, but next time, I’m bringing my sheep. They need to experience this madness too!
