Having a cake and eating it

A whole month without blogging! Oh, I feel so guilty. I don´t. I haven´t posted anything because it felt unpleasant and I didn´t have any great thoughts to share...

Summer´s over. Yes, I don´t mind saying it out loud. We all know the Finnish summer lasts for two months, strictly. We don´t like the heat anyway, do we?

I always (really?) praise autumn and it´s gloominess, heavy rain and wind, darkness, thick jumpers and yellow leaves. It´s dramatic, I love it. Alteration of seasons has already disappeared in some parts of the world due to the climate change so why not enjoy it while we can.


My world today:

Blueberry season. Fitness. Investing in a good jacket. Reading novels. Painting nails. Getting ready for the art exhibition.

I´m also trying not to be so nice. Girls are often raised to be nice and obedient but I want to rebel. Being nice can also mean neglecting your own needs and wants. Or being someone else than yourself. I´ve been practicing at work where I meet a lot of people who expect stuff from me. I try not to be that nice girl who always listens and smiles. I´ve started kind of ignoring people who I don´t want to talk to. I´m polite enough but I don´t have to make customers adore me. How liberating is that!


Trying to please people is my eternal problem, a pain in the arse. Some day I´ll stop for good. Like being afraid of making mistakes and of their results. What I really really really want to do now is to
  • buy a bike
  • have sushi
  • grow muscles
  • own more dresses and high heels
And yes, I don´t mind having a drink before I go to work. It´s not illegal, is it?
