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 […]
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 […]
To pay the bills

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 […]
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. […]
When it hurts like you crashed from above
I’m home. I’m happy. It’s complicated, but it’ alright. This has been such and upsidedown week. In a way school’s just annoying, but then again there are so many amazing people there that makes it all worth it. And also I rarely attend classes for a full day haha. On Monday I went to school […]
They’ll pass you by, glory days
Yet again in another plane. On my left I have my best friend, Elina the sleeping beauty. We’ve had such an amazing, crazy week. We had a brownie (okay and a couple of drinks) yesterday and we just kept going wow. This is it. This is our life. Crazy. I’ve been over this a hundred […]
What it takes
Viva la vida. I’m in my bed in a white robe, looking at the Atlantic ocean from the open balcony door and it’s 30* outside. I’m doing the same 3D-animation exercise that my classmates did the other day in a parking hall- level classroom in the shoppingcenter Arabia in Helsinki, where the temperature was -5* outside […]
We are not all here to please you – what went wrong with feminism?
In yesterday’s Helsingin Sanomat, Finlands biggest mainstream newspaper, there was a column titled “I appreciate feminine women and masculine men”. The columnist wanted to point out the importance of not raising children as children, but those born with a penis as boys and those born with a vagina as girls. Now dear columnist, with all […]
Oh this is gotta be the good life
So far, being 17 has been the most amazing age of them all haha. On Thursday, I had some of my closest over. Now later on that I count, altogether I had 27 friends and family members in the house, coming and going and celebrating, just like I had wished for. I got a lot […]
