Hi again!

Yes, I know it's called resolutions, but revolutions sounds so much better. I mean I am pushing away my old habits and letting the new ones conquer my life. At least I'm hoping that will happen. 2017 wasn't my best year, or actually the last 3 years haven't been, so that's why I am trying to make a difference this time. My list is full of cliches, but I'm fine with that, as long as I keep on going with them. I'm quoting myself directly, so sorry for my language.  

1. Write shit down. Keep on writing daily positives and start a blog? Find a way to look back at you progress.

Daily positives is kind of a diary of mine. Every day, I write 5 positive things about that day, just to kind of convince myself that there is something positive about every day. And start a blog? Well, that's what I did, or am doing. I hope that at the end of the year I have something to look back at.

2. Be more crative. Draw more often. Write a draft. You can do it!

I'd like to say I'm a creative person, but the thing is that "I don't have time". I have time, it just very hard to start anything. Writing a draft of a book idea I have would be ideal, but we'll see.

3. Try to work out at least 30 minutes 3 times a week.

So this is more of a basic resolution, but it's something I got to do. I'm not fat, but you can see I enjoy my food, but do not workout to keep the balance. So far, I have actually done this. Go me!

4. Eat healthier. You don't need that shit in your body. Including alcohol. Vegeterian option whenever possible.

And here I am trying to convince myself to eat healthier. This would be ideal and I'm working on it. Thank god I have a whole year on me to accomplish this.

5. Walk in the nature and take time to appreciate it. It's very calming.

No comments on this one. That's just the deal.

6. Work for your future and make decisions you like, not what you think will make others happy.

A big year ahead for me, as I'm starting my A-levels this fall. This also means a lot of decisions considering my future. Hopefully I don't forget to be selfish about these things.

7. Heal.

Nothing but heal. By this I mean my mental health, which hasn't been great if I'm honest. I actually started working on this in December by seeing a therapist. I hope at the end of the year, I will look at this and state that, yes, I healed.

I keep these revolutions next to my bed, taped to my nightstand so that the list is the last thing I see every night before I turn the lights out. Big hopes and dreams on 2018, but as long as it's somewhat better than 2017, I'm good.

Please comment your own revolutions and yeah, see you next week!

Bisous, Maija

Hi everyone!

So this is my first post on this blog and today I'm just going to talk about myself for a while. So I'm Maija Alina, or Malina if you will, I'm 17 and live in western Finland. I'm a Swedish talking Finn, so please don't judge me with my language, because as I said English is my third language. Of course I'd love for you to join the conversation and comment my texts and I'd be glad if you pointed out my typos.

There's not much to say about myself. I mean this first text is more of an introduktion than anything else, but next week there's going to be an actual text. My opinions can be a bit harsh from time to time, so if you don't agree with me I hope you don't get offended. 

The posts in the future might not be that long or special in any way, but I hope they are inspiring or that they at least make people think and see different perspectives. I'm trying to take photos and post them as much as I can but I'm not gonna promise anything.

Hopefully you will tag along and read my texts open minded. I'm only learning how to do this and some texts might be good and some not that much. Please be patient and see how I evolve this site as I hopefully grow as a person.

Bisous ~ Malina
