Plots

This year is almost ending, and I have a lot of plans for next year. They include traveling, working (but where, is the question here), possibly moving, and most importantly: writing. I am so close to being done with just planning my book. I've already started the writing process, but I know it's going to be a long and rocky road to the finish line. 

I am giving myself a year. I'm hoping to finish writing it within that time, but I don't want to push it. If needing more time means a better outcome, then I will take more time. But I do hope, that during 2014 I can offer my script to a publisher, or publish the book on my own. When it comes to writing, 2013 is going to be exciting, nerve-wrecking, inspiring, frustrating and thrilling. This project will also give me something to write about in here: I will keep you posted on how I am doing. I am not telling what my book is about, nor will I give anything else away. But I will get back to you. 

I saw a card recently, that would be perfect to give to me. Sometimes it's fun to find things like that :) 

It said:

"I can't wait for you to write a book, so I can finally know what you have been thinking about for the last few years."

Some of you will know :) 

Slow Motion

I went to the movies tonight. I can't help but float after I've seen a movie that somehow moves me, touches me, impresses me, inspires me. I can't help but to get lost inside my own worlds, various places my mind has created over the years, and feel like I'm in a world that's full of magic. 

Because I am. 

I feel like I have to write now. But at the same time I'm afraid of ruining the perfect images in my head if I were to write them down. The lack of confidence in myself is sometimes overwhelming, and something I have to learn to deal with. 

I'll write.  

Naked Truth

A Finnish blogger wrote about how it's ridiculous, the way people criticize each other nowadays. She then posted a picture of herself with no make up on, completely natural. A bold move in today's world, when what's on the outside seems to matter the most. 

Eräs suomalainen bloggaaja kirjoitti siitä, miten naurettavaa on se, kuinka ihmiset kritisoivat toisiaan nykyään. Hän postasi kuvan itsestään ilman mitään meikkiä, täysin luonnollisena. Rohkea veto nykymaailmassa, missä ulkonäöllä on se suurin merkitys.

It really is appalling how some people choose not to get to know somebody based on the way they look. They are missing out on possibly amazing friendships and other relationships for something as fading as appearances. Really, think about it. Think about your friends and family members. They are not all super models, they do not all have the perfect athletic bodies nor the set of white, straight teeth, shiny hair or sense of humor, but they're still there, in your life. True, one cannot choose their own family members, but abandoning them isn't the option either, when you love them. So why should other people be any different? 

On oikeasti järkyttävää, miten jotkut valitsee tuttavansa ulkonäön perusteella. Sillä tavalla voi missata monta mahdollisesti mahtavaa ystävyyssuhdetta, tai muita ihmissuhteita. Pelkän ulkonäön takia! Ajattelepa nyt kunnolla... ajattele omia perheenjäseniäsi ja ystäviäsi. Ei ne kaikki ole supermalleja, ei niillä kaikilla ole täydellistä, urheilullista kroppaa, tai suoria valkoisia hampaita, kiiltävää tukkaa tai huumorintajua. Mutta silti ne on osa sun elämää. Tottahan se on, ettei omaa perhettään voi valita, mutta ei niitä nyt hylätäkään, koska tietenkin omaa perhettään rakastaa. Miksi muut ihmiset ois mitenkään poikkeus?

This is me, without any make-up, and my hair's messy and not brushed after holding it up on a bun. Dark circles around my eyes, shiny skin after applying lotion. Eye-brows that need plugging. This picture has not been photo shopped at all, and it was taken with my iPhone. 

Tässä olen minä, ilman yhtään meikkiä, tukka sotkuisena ja harjaamattomana. Tummat silmänaluset, kiiltävä iho rasvaamisen jäljiltä, kulmakarvat, jotka kaipaavat nyppimistä. Tätä kuvaa ei ole käsitelty ollenkaan, ja se on otettu iPhonellani. 

I hope that reading the post linked above (and this one) will encourage all of you to look a little deeper. And ATTENTION TO ALL THE BLOGGERS OUT THERE! Here comes a challenge: Take a picture of yourself all natural, and post the Naked Truth! Let it spread!!!

Toivottavasti yllä linkitetty postaus (ja tämä) rohkaisee kaikkia katsomaan vähän syvemmälle. Ja HUOMIO KAIKKI BLOGGAAJAT! Tässä tulee haaste: Ota kuva itsestäsi täysin luonnollisen näköisenä, ja postaa Naked Truth! Annetaan tämän levitä!!!
