The thought came from nowhere, and I couldn’t let go of it. I was surprised by it too. Who am I without my history? When I stop identifying myself with what I’ve been told I am — what I’m good at, what I have done and not done, what I have and what I don’t have.Continue Reading
Hello and goodbye is how we usually word it, and I thought that, for me right now, it’s more of a goodbye and a hello. And actually, is it not how it is? First, you say goodbye, and then hello to something new. It gets me to think about my grandma and her approach to gettingContinue Reading
“Peace of Mind” – a phrase stuck in my mind from yesterday’s dialogue with a colleague. And my honest phrase in our discussion, “Writing is the only thing I know, it’s like breathing. It comes naturally; I enter a state of being, and I do it. Knowing how to do without thinking. It flows out throughContinue Reading
One step at a time, walking through life in trust, carries me through with greater ease and peace. Even knowing this, it’s like a slap in the face to be told so in situations of inner and outer turmoil, and I can’t see how it will go. But I know it’s true, and it takes effortContinue Reading

My grandparents even had a dachshund named Jukkas (an abbreviation of Jukkasjärvi used by the locals) that was in our lives for about 15 years December 26, 2024 This was the date I first visited Icehotel andContinue Reading
Another day with -32 °C in Jukkasjärvi, Kiruna, Sweden. This is a bit too cold, as well as this summer, with +32 °C, was a bit too warm. From one extreme to another. If I have to choose, I go for the cold since I can always dress warmly or just stay inside. At least mostContinue Reading
Feels like I want to write, but on the same token, I don’t know what to write. Do I have anything to say? Yes, say my friends and I still don’t know what they mean. It’s simple and a mystery, and not. Why even bother writing? Saying what to whom? Is there anything ever to say?Continue Reading
Life is all about celebrating it by doing stuff I like. Feeling good and striving to feel good is our natural state of being. It’s our innate North Star.
