Happy Christmas!

So this is Christmas, another year over. What I've learned is that instead of trying to control things in your life and force them into how you'd like them to be, you might as well enjoy it just where you are. As said, life is what happens when you're too busy planning it. I'd like to challenge you all to stop for a second, look around you and realize how amazing things truly are. Notice them. Because after this moment passes it is gone forever and will only exist as a worn-out memory in your head. Nothing lasts forever, so that is why I'd like all of you to enjoy this moment, be grateful for what you have and let your loved ones know how much they mean to you.

Happy Christmas :)

December

Hi friends! Helsinki is covered with snow. There are massive piles of snow around every corner and on the ground lies a nearly meter high layer if snow. Sure the traffic is in trouble and so on, but the scene is just amazing. The world is sleeping under the white, heavy snow, wafting from the quiet night sky as tiny pearly flakes. Since we're so north it's pretty dark this time of the year. I mean it's dark most of the day, and when it's 'light' it's not very bright, just a dim shade of sunshine from behing the clouds. I'm used to it. But this place really is at the end of the world.


I don't know if anything in life goes as planned. You never know what will happen. And that is quite the point of it. What I've learned is that most of the time your expectations are wrong, and the ideas you have for what your future might look like will remain as frames in your imagination. But what actually takes place in our lives might be something greater we've ever dared to dream. Or not necessarily greater though. Lovelier, more exciting, even horrifying. But different. And what I believe we should do is to dare to take a leap towards the unknown, to dare to ride the waves washing over our lives, knowing we have no idea where we might end up.


Thank you for reading my blog, it does mean a lot to me. :)
