When I was 11, I remember getting in to a fight with my Mom over some random rule we had at home that I didn’t like. I packed everything I owned into plastic bags and put them in a corner to have them wait another 7 years until I could finally move away. Most of […]

I’ll be needing stitches
Oh this life. Such a roller coaster. Its been an up-and-down-week, but today really sums it up. I woke up at 7, snoozed until 7.15, packed and took the 7.30 bus, went to work, had lunch with colleagues, looked for an apartment to rent in Helsinki, worked a bit more, met up with Masa who […]
I can’t look at this the same
So for a while I’ve been feeling very rootless, lost, and not all that happy with big parts of my reality. And turns out, even the most satisfying parts aren’t the most reliable. I’ll always be welcome in my hometown Porvoo, and I will probably always have work and a place to live there. But […]
Something better
I’m in Oulu, northern Finland, with my family. We’re at my sister’s godparent’s place in the middle of the woods. They’ve got a dog and a cat and huge stoves to warm up the house, a big kitchen and lots of good food. We came here to relax, and we’ve already gone on long walks […]
Anything to take it from your mind
Us against the world
Today was one of those days. Everything smiles except for my wallet. Yesterday was awesome. You fell asleep smiling. No worries, nothing to miss, and nothing to wish for but everything you have in that moment. You know when you wake up with a big broad smile on your face. You push the snooze button […]
The end where I begin
I used to daydream a lot. I used to wish those dreams would continue when I fell asleep. Those dreams saved my life. Some of them where about big career moves, mingling in awesome events with a glass of champagne in my hand and hugging important people and actually knowing what I was doing. In […]

But I just can’t stand when people don’t take responsibility for their own things and expect that OTHERS should take care of them! Come on! Haven’t you people been out of diapers for QUITE a long […]
Stop and stare
Here we go again. Happy me, on an airplane. The last few years have been amazing. The last few months have been amazing. The last few weeks have been amazing. And so has the last few days and the last few hours. On Thursday after school I took the bus to the airport and got […]
On a mission
I hope you excuse my absence. The last couple of weeks have been really rough on me. I mean I wake up every day and I go out in the world and I see so many beautiful things, but I also happen to see so many things that don’t work the way they’re supposed to. […]
