Introduction

I'm a Finnish girl born on Valentine's Day in 1997, and I would call myself a goth. Darkness is my thing, so is art and especially writing. My greatest goals in life are becoming a writer and a movie director. The genre I'm into is obviously horror, especially psychological thrillers. This explains why I was supposed to become a psychologist before ambition took over and I applied to study film making. So next fall I'll move away from my home country Finland to England to study this subject in a University.
Besides this blog, I write poems, and I'm working on a novel. I also like drawing, photographing, and doing all kinds of artistic stuff I can possibly come up with.
Doing art is one of the essentials that I need in life, but other things that keep me going are coffee, rain and good music. I'm also an animal lover, and therefore I'm a vegetarian. Even though all animals are important to me, my favorites are cats, spiders and reindeer. I have one cat called Lili, and I'll get a tarantula right when I have the chance.
It's funny how it's so much easier for me to tell what I don't like than telling what I do like. I admit I have a slightly negative attitude overall, but I wouldn't still call myself a pessimist. Anyhow, let's just mention some of the things I can't stand: rom-coms, lovetalk, furs, arrogant people, and sexism. Especially much I hate my mom's idea that women only dress up to please men, because I'm a full-time feminist. Not the kind that burns bras, but the kind that believes we're all equal and dress up for ourselves.

About my blog: I thought about describing this blog as a lifestyle blog, but if I wrote a lifestyle blog, it would promote some seriously unhealthy habits. I started this blog as an art blog, but I don't think this is that either. Therefore, I won't classify my blog. I publish my own art, deep thoughts about anything that comes into my mind and stuff about life overall. But the focus will be on gothic stuff, because that's what I am.

I had hard time deciding whether or not it was important to mention this, but I suppose it is since it affects my life pretty much, and therefore the contents of this blog: the reason why my Instagram account, this blog (yet) and my appearance overall don't seem highly gothic. It would take horribly long time to explain so that I wouldn't appear as someone who's afraid of everyone else's opinions. I really don't mind what people think about me. So I'll just say that moving out of my parents' house to England means more than studying to me: freedom to be whatever the hell I want.
