Social Media or Social Inferno, And When to Press Exit?

Dearest reader, Viime aikoina tai oikeastaan viime kesästä lähtien olen joutunut ottamaan säännöllisesti etäisyyttä Instagramista, joka on eniten käyttämäni sosiaalisen median kanava. Nämä kolmen päivän pikavieroitukset alkoivat toistumaan yhä useammin kun kaikenlainen älytön sisältö rupesi sumentamaan päiviäni, mielikuvitustani, ajatusteni kulkua siten, etten enää osannut sanoa olivatko ajatukset ja haluni omiani vai muiden käsikirjoittamaa höttöistä, klimppistä, puuroa joka

How Month of the Pearl Became the Mythology of Me

Dearest reader, For as long as I can remember, Month of the Pearl and I have shared a secret mythology that has defined my indentity sometimes literally, sometimes subconciously for most of my life. And while it is perhaps foolish to believe in these fantasies and strange coincidences between Month of the Pearl and my person – that I know – it is at least more fun to live in the moonlight of nonsense, which is why, I have decided to be foolish and sink contentedly into the m

Where Art Thou Husbands? (and why isn't love enough)

Dearest reader, People have been talking about marriage for centuries and I have been thinking about it for years, the past four of them I have spent trying to write about it, and since August, I finally realized I should get it out of my system regardless whether it is important or not. Namenly, at 25, I have at last reached a point where people around me are getting married. My friends in particular have started to look for people to get engaged with, to make potential fia
