My life

What have I achieved in life?

This question just came to my mind. I'm an 19-year-old enthusiastic young woman from a little village in Finland. What have I achieved so far? Some people of my age have won a World Championship in some sort of sport. Someone of my age is already acting in Hollywood blockbusters or released couple of records. I haven't done anything that huge. So what have I achieved? Nothing.

If you think so, it feels like nothing, but I do have achieved something. It's not that memorable though. I have grown up a little. Learned about life, what's wrong and what's right. Learned from my mistakes and trying not to make them again. I have graduated from upper secondary and I just applied to university. I have a family and friends who love me just the way I am. I have felt my first love, got my heart broken, cured it and moved on. I have travelled. I have managed to live in a foreign country I love on my own and lived one of my dreams doing so. During my gap year I’ve found out what I want to do with my life. My life is on track.

These all are achievements of life. Maybe not as leaving-my-mark-in-the-world-like as winning a World Championship or being an actress in Hollywood. I’ll leave my marks in the world later.

Actually, this blog could be the first one. So, shall we get started? >

The limitations of life - The language

I have many limitations when it comes to my loves and passions. You know, you really want to do something but there's something stopping you so you can't do it as well you'd like to. Firstly, I'm an 19-year-old Finnish girl who doesn't find her mother language natural for her. That's why I'm writing in English. It took a long time for me to actually create this blog, because I didn't know whether to write in Finnish or English. I know I have a limited vocabulary and some mistakes in grammar in my English, but this is the way of learning to get rid of those. My English may not be as colourful and versatile as my Finnish, but it will be. I want it to be. I love writing and I love English. It's the language I feel like I want to express myself to the world. I have my limitations in it but that's the major reason for this blog, to get better at it. So if this blog gets some readers and comments are full of complaints about my language well, my apologizies. My English is not perfect. A language can never be. There's different varietys, dialects and accents. This is mine. Still, I'm eager to get closer to perfection. Writing is one of the biggest passions in my life. I have a lot to say and this blog is one way for me to let it all come out. It all happens in English. It's not perfect, but all that matters is that you catch my point.

This is a blog about
