Things accomplished this year, against all odds...

 Good morning, day, afternoon and night! 

Hope you are all doing well. I am doing so good. My leg is often in horrible, unbearable pain but it goes away after a while, it's like a "pain attack". Laat night I went to the ER here in Jakobstad and they injected a painkiller in my leg... It didn't help a long time. This morning I was writhing in pain again. It is not fun. But it makes all my other health issues seem small and insignificant. So, to say it bluntly: My depression is almost gone or like without symptoms! That is FINE. :D Makes me happy! Like, literally! HAHHAH.

My cats are doing well. My mom is tired and exhausted. Me and my mom are taking care of my ailing dad. He is in Palliative care. So... We lift him up out of bed a few times a day. He sleeps a lot, sometimes he is restless...

Here's what y'all clicked on this post for... 

Things I have accomplished in 2024:

I gained a lot of self-confidence.

I believe in myself and in my potential as a future wife!

I am not a left over! I am a diamond. 

Partied a lot, especially with the missionaries!

Visited Utah, USA ON MY OWN.

(That blew a few people's minds! They were  very surprised...)

I lost about 20 kilos! (maybe like 44 pounds...) 

I saw my own worth and now I believe in myself.

Found a lot of new friends!

Those are the most important achievements... I also wrote a few articles for Liahona, still going to write more next year. Wrote about Rainbow High dolls for a toy magazine, took the pictures myself... Found a lot of inner strength and I am confident I can handle a lot more things next year. Bring it on!!! HAHA.

I have had a lot of problems in my life, with my health, having been bullied at school, church and in many other places. I helped my huge idol Pekka Haavisto in his presidential campaign and had the opportunity to meet him a few times! He is so good, so smart and so kind. I know, I don't know if a president's attributes need to be those things, but better to have an empathic president than... you know. A mean one! LOL. I gathered supporters and names for the list to put him as a candidate, then helped with ideas how the campaign could be further managed. For example, I asked the campaign manager if Pekka could please come to my hometown Pietarsaari, because they hadn't put it on the list yet... He came here, the place was filled to the brim with voters, my mom included. LOL. So my idea was a good one. I also invited him to the park outside my house. He and his team came there, I tried to help a little (I have a walker and difficulties getting around, nowadays I have a wheelchair.) and I gave a gift to Pekka. I LOVE being a volunteer for my political party!!! It is SO fun. And Pekka is such a cutie pie and wonderful person. The other candidate won, but not with a landslide. I used to think he was cool... NOPE. My opinions have shifted a lot.

Now I need to rest a bit, my leg is soon starting to act up, I can feel it!

More later!

My trip to the USA 2024.. The adventure starts!

 Good morning everybody! Greetings from Pleasant Grove, Utah. I arrived on Tuesday the 13th of August to the SLC international airport, a little before 1 pm (the flight was early...). I traveled together with the returning missionaries. It was so nice!  I was really tired but I haven't been so tired that I thought I would be. My medicine helps me get my sleep patterns stable and regular. I have been walking a lot and it hurts in the evenings when I have spent a long time walking around. But it's ok. I think I have lost a little more weight, it's so much easier to get around! What a big blessing. A few months I was still in a wheelchair when I went outside! WOW. It is a miracle! :) I took a little break in writing. Hope you don't mind hahhah!  This country is very interesting! :) stores and such have so different "infrastructure", I don't know if that's the right word... And a town or city is not separate or like far from each other. You just kinda swoo...

the Temple again :)

Good morning from Pleasant Grove, Utah, USA! Yesterday I visited my fourth Temple during my trip here in Utah. Now I have visited FOUR Temples here in Utah.  Tomorrow I am going to the Orem, Utah Temple. Oh, the one I went to yesterday with my friend, is the Provo center Temple. It looks stunning in the evening... The lights around it and the beauty of the garden there, and of course the Temple it self. I really love going to the Temple. Now I understand why so many Temples are being announced all the time in Utah! Because people go there so often here! It is always booked full on any given day... I need to book my seat very early. It is amazing! My mom is calling me soon, better write quick! :D  After the Temple me and my friend walked around the Temple grounds, almost ordered Domino's to a random ledge/edge we found to sit on, but were afraid we were "loitering"... So when the police car arrive, we were already on our way from the place we found. We went to the pizza pl...

Last weekend. Last Saturday. In Utah.

 Good morning dear people!  I had to delete that last post, I am sure I didn't quite think it through and I most certainly had almost all filters off hahhha. At least most of them and that is just plain stupid. I am sometimes tired when I write and then the TRUTH (?) comes out, or parts of it... My opinions are very strong most of the time and I don't need to alienate my readers further and/or make them think I am completely cuckoo. I am a little cuckoo, but honestly, there are far more people in the world who are cuckoo to the same degree, or maybe even more cuckoo than me... I just have a lot to say!  Being bullied in school and at church and by people who have once called me their friend, that is not easy. In school I was a teeny tiny bit chubby, like maybe 5 kilos too heavy or something, so I was called fatso. EVERY DAY for 10 years I was bullied in school. Then my mini mission came and I couldn't sleep or rest for two weeks, maybe 4 hours a night. Try to survive THAT...
