My own apartment. Still the absolute best choice I’ve made so far in my life. After this weekends FSS board meeting I headed back to my parents place for dinner, and when my plans for later that evening got canceled, I decided to stay over. We had such a cozy evening the whole family, eating […]
Eating some pasta. I’m totally done, finito, loppu, slut. But it was an awesome week. On Monday I had the English listening comprehension for my matriculation exam, and on Tuesday I had the best dentist appointment of my life. Turns out, not only are my teeth more than fine but really nice dentists actually exist. […]
I just decided to take a moment off and appreciate what I have in life. I booked flight tickets to Copenhagen and Strasbourg, so now I have at least one trip planned for every upcoming month until summer. In one and a half week I head over to Denmark for a meeting with the Nordic […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
It might be worth it, everything. That’s what I thought while driving to the bus station this morning after waking up my family. Even Elina was staying over, and since I’m the only one working, I left while they were still sleeping. The beautiful thing is that each and every one of the whispered a […]
