Overview
About Me
Guess an update is needed here... former journalist, lawyer-to-be. Currently working for the Åland Islands peace institute as the research coordinator.
A rather laid-back fellow.
Whatever I wrote earlier: :D
CURRENT MISSION
Looking for the path, as I've just graduated from uni..
ABOUT ME
I've been around for a while in this life.
Now looking for new adventures, as I'm done with my university studies (for now)
PHILOSOPHY
1.Treat others as you wish yourself to be treated...
2. Then I kind of fancy the thought that we're born to die, i.e. you should let go of everything, accept that everything will pass, everything is vain, expect nothing.. and suddenly you'll find yourself in peace of yourself and shining of optimism, trust and happiness. ;)
