ARCHIPELAGO! This is what Finns do when they have time off. Thye go their mökki (lodge, cabin whatever you want to call it), go swimming, spend time outside and with their families, complaining about the the lack of internet connection and the amount of work that should be done in the yard, even thought they […]

The trees they fall down on their own
Two pictures from monday, we had a Youth Editorial meeting for the newspaper Östnyland. I have an article about easter and easter eggs haha in today’s newspaper, and then next week and the week after that we have election specials, so I’ve got the columns for both weeks. Right now I’m in the archipelago, spending […]
So love what you do
And yes I do! I’m home when my famil y’s asleep, and I leave before they wake up. It’s been amazingly springy and sunny here the last few days and I’m just constantly in a good mood. Except for when my computer’s in school and at home have problems, I’ve got no patience at all haha. […]
Baby if you hold me
I’ve probably written that I love traveling and flying like a hundred times. But now that I’m in the plane on my way home from Budapest, I just can’t do anything but smile like the dorkieat person on earth. One of the best weeks in my life just passed. I’m soooo lucky. I found a […]
Don’t wanna waste it
There was this time in my life when I the only thing I wished for was a friend. And in a cold bus a foggy morning, this girl catches my eye for a second and I think to my self that it’s another stupid girly-girl and she thinks to herself that there’s some random boy […]
Holding hands
Ridiculously beautiful weather for a funeral. One of the most sorrowful days I’ve ever lived through. A small party of 20 family members gathered to remember and honor L in the small church of Porvoo. It hurts so bad. Seeing your loved ones cry and realising that they know the horrifying truth that we’ll […]
I will try
I didn’t take any pictures with my camera today (although you find some on my Instagram, @b1cc4) so this is the song I’m listening to while writing this. You know when you say you’re going to sleep early? And then you don’t? Haha, I’m always complaining about lack of sleep. But last night I got […]
Lately I’ve been counting stars
Such a beautiful weather today! Especially in Porvoo, almost as beautiful as this, 2 years ago. But that was probably the only really good thing. I stayed up too late, called a friend in the morning, had just fallen back to sleep when I had to get up to do a workthing (8.30-ish, school started […]
The way it works
It’s been a few really rough days. Perhaps the toughest my family has ever had to go through. Bursting into tears any minute and battling the way up from bed and onto life. Doing the dishes is another level of hell. And no person should be doing funeral programs or obituaries. But in another universe, […]
✞
I’m gonna share something tonight. When I came home from my language course last summer, the 19th of July, my Mom was sitting on my floor, crying. And she explained to me that her twin sister, my aunt, my godmother and our family-member L was ill. And that the Porvoo hospital though it was a […]
