To love life

Thank you lovely friends, I have got many e-mails and happy to see you people still alive, remembering good times we have shared. And so many dreamers around! Even John Lennon put it in the song " You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one..", definetely not the only one, I know it now for sure!

One dear dreamer friend of mine, said something in such a way that made me think a lot. His exact words were ".. even if we have to face a lot of delusion and sufferance, we love life always more. More we suffer and more we love life."

To live life is simple. Wake up, stay awake, eat ( unless you're on ramadan or hungerstrike or maybe extreme diet), do your thing whatever it is you do in your everyday life, meet people or stay alone, sleep. Living life everyday is just about the basics, but it could be missing the deeper meaning.

To love life instead, that's where we get deeper to the life itself. That's where we put meaning even to the smallest things. That love included to life can make even waking up an incredible event, not to even mention the food we eat. The everyday life is seen in a totally new perspective. Everyday is a new experience and we are taking the best out of it. To give you an idea: This morning I woke up, it was -27 degrees and we all know that kind of cold doesn't give you the best mood. When I drove to work, I saw the moon, it was big and strange yellow coloured, but it was so beautiful it put a smile on my face. Before I turned on the road to work, I saw two rabbits, I have seen them often in the morning and there they were again, more smile on my face. After some few hours the sun came up and that was the best of it all, my day was just starting, but the nature had shown the beauty of it first thing in the morning. You see, it doesn't take that much, just to see the love around.

So what about the sufferance then.. I have been there, like all of us propably at least at one point of our lives. I have had plenty of those points. Then it has been rough and life has been all about living, sometimes so hard that even breathing got harder and minutes were counted in order to get on bit by bit. But in life it's necessery to struggle, confront hard times, feel lost. Someone wise said once that " the brave are always stubborn" and in order to fight the hard times it is good to know that tragedy is not punishment but challenge.

And who knows, it could be, that in order to love life, it is necessary to go through that challenge.

My friend Kalle was reading my writings and he was very sad that I forgot to mention his name and that now I'm actually in Joensuu, so for all of you to know he is a good friend ( and for the ladies, single!! i get u a pic later..) so if you ever plan to visit Joensuu ( for some strange reason I don't understand because there is nothing here... except Ilosaarirock and lot of snow!!!) you can always depend on Kalle. Today I'm going to visit a very special place and some very special people. they were a great help when I really needed it some years ago. And for that I thank them because I am able to walk on my own feet again! Saatiin vaparit JokiPojat - Fops Mestis peliin, mutta kiinnostaako se jääkiekko niin paljon?? NO EI! Ihmiset on niin erilaisia taas täällä ja johtuneeko liian pitkään kaupungissa (tai turussa..) olosta et kesti taas hetken tottua että tuntemattomatkin voi hymyillä toisilleen! :)

Kun naapurin tyttö heräsi kuolleista

Elettiin vuotta 2015. Minulla oli jo muutama vuosi takana Malawissa ja asuimme mukavalla alueella melkein kaupungin keskustassa. Kaikki tunsivat minut, mutta itse harvemmin tiesin ihmisiä muuten kuin kasvoilta. Naapurustossa asui myös mukava nuori tyttö, ihan tavallista nuorisoa niin kuin muutkin alueella asuvat. Nyt kun ajattelen, niin siellä asui nuoria itse asiassa todella paljon. Malawissa 0-24 vuotiaat kattavatkin yli 65% koko maan väestöstä. Kaikki tapahtui pari taloa tästä meidän vanhasta talosta eteenpäin Eräänä päivänä tuli suru-uutinen, että tämä tyttö oli menehtynyt malariaan. Olin kuullut oudoista malariakuolemista, mutta se ei ollut koskaan tapahtunut näin lähellä meitä. Sanottiin, että hän oli ollut ihan hyvävointinen, mutta salakavala malaria olikin ehtinyt aivoihin asti ja hän menehtyi äkillisesti sairaalassa. Se, miksi tämä tapaus jäi erityisesti mieleeni, oli se, että käytin sitä usein esimerkkinä kertoessani ihmisille malarian vaarallisuudesta. Malaria on k...

back in the normal life

Last week there was a day that i decided to look for work, seriously I had enough of this "doing nothing, hanging around" -period, so I logged in to employment offices web site and started to look what they could offer me. I found a place where they needed cleaners, today I went to job interview in this small cleaning firm and I GOT THE PLACE! So congratulate me for my new work and by the way a whole new area for me, cleaning, but it shouldn't be so hard and I'm so glad I got something to do, it was really getting boring. So you might be wondering what's up with Africa? You know sometimes you plan something and things just don't work out the way you planned and this is very true when it comes to Africa. Well, this is what happened to me, but there is always plan B C D etc. so no problem, I will find the way to go back there, because I know that it's something that I really want. My thoughts are there everyday more and more, driving my friends crazy talking...
