What about what now?

This is what happened (or actually what is happening) after my previous blog. I loved writing down everything I could remember and that's actually the only reason why this blog was born.

My previous blog was started for my schoolwork when I was training to become festival assistant and I didn't have the heart to delete it, so it also became my blog for later schoolwork about learning travelling. It also has some more personal posts about places and my work as bartender.

And as the name says, it's time to put my leather jacket blog behind (I still wear leather jackets tought) and turn a new leaf; changes are that from now on I'm writing in English and this blog is much more personal, more me and less school or work (even tought work is life and I won't stop learning until I die...).

So before you bore to death; hello new readers and (short of) welcome back older ones. My name is Hanna and I will be your future guide. To keep my mind steady I have my cat Kingi and sudokus ready for what's going to happen.

Wind of change

I'm sorry, I haven't been writing much lately. I have been busy doing pretty much nothing, since I can't do anything about my future just yet.

But then something happened. Something sad, that has made me stick here, in Southern Finland for longer time. I'm not even sure if I will apply for school next spring, or if I do, will it be about wilderness or bartending.

I love my job. I really do, but I also love nature. So I'm kind of torn at the moment. For now I'll stick with the original plan and work at the bar through this winter and see what the new year brings. And let us be honest, the 2016 wasn't that good. To me personally, I will always remember it as the year I found my passion, found nature, which has been growing inside me from my childhood. And as a year, when my two years of washing dishes and selling booze has grown some fruit; since Finnish alcohol-laws are super strickt, I have finally earned myself the honor of being hired to the firm, so I am no longer from rent-a-guy. Also, now I can be in charge and be by myself in the bar.

I'd like to think that everything happens for a reason. But now I have to re-calculate it, after seeing what a harsh world we all live in. Maybe this world is just a big puzzle and we solve it piece by piece, slowly. I'm not a fan of jiggsaws, but problem solving I can handle atleast from time to time.

So in short. You can meet me at the bar for now. I'll be there as long as I can, for the love of my bosses and co-worckers. It's like a big family who takes care of eachother. We support eachother, love and respect for all the differences that we might not even understand.

So, I'll keep on walking this path I have chosen. Someday I will become a wilderness-guide, just maybe not right now. Dreams will be dreams, and as a naive fool I am, I'll keep on chasing them.
