Yearning

Just some scattered midnight thoughts.

Going through some old photos and came across these random shots I've taken maybe couple years ago, near our family home in Central Finland. I love the countryside, I really do. The peace, the beauty and the untamed nature. I have a great yearning for country living, which I never truly appreciated in my teenage years. I'd love to see the world, but I really also want to get back to my birthplace.

It's so safe in there, you never have to look over your shoulder or lock the doors during the day. Though there are bears roaming only half a kilometer from the doorsteps, but they have their territory, and we have ours, both respecting of each other, co-existing. The forest will give you everything, if you respect it and only take what you need. Autumn is my favourite time, the forest is basically full of free food, if you know where to look. Berries and mushrooms, in abundance.

One random favourite thing in the country is that there are no street lights, I fucking hate the yellow glare that hangs all over the city. It makes me sick. Oh and the wood fire sauna, how could you beat that. Soon it is also the time for apple picking, so much apple pie in sight.

I need take a couple days off soon and make an escape for my homehome (aka the birthplace, aka parents home, aka my real home).

Maalta sinä olet tullut ja maalle sinä olet tuleva.
