About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finish PhD and help the cause of revolution

ABOUT ME

everyone has a story.
now i am busy with inventing one for me

PHILOSOPHY

it is in permanent update and negotiation. i prefer unstability and ongoing flux and movement. movement at least in the 'inside', even when outside seems fixed and established with different social roles: role of a child, role of a student, role of a teacher, role of a wife, role of a citizen and all other roles and plays that absorb us everyday.
i like intermittances and breaks more than a solid stop. But maybe someday, I will learn to appreaciate the stop and permanence and structure
and if there was a particularly charming maxim for me, it would be: "because everything is possible".

still, there seem to be certain things non-negotiable: being sincere with oneself(and as result with others), and never stop learning how to give and love the dearest people in your life.

Interests

interests come and go, but the passion for being interested stays always with me
among different things that interested me once and maybe still and maybe in the future:
- humans! who are they, how do they live, what they dream, what they could never dream, their passions and way they reason, way they love and hate. and animals also
- images (photos, pictures, dreams, illusions, movies and all other sorts of images you can IMAGine),
- ideas - yes, I love ideas and theories - how they appear, transform, get tested, discussed.. ideas how to transform the world and make it a different place.
- sounds (music, unidentifiable noise, whispering, screaming).
- Movements (travelling, walking, running, biking, smiling, dance, yoga - as far as it can be considered movement)

my last big passions are documentaries and everything related to brain and perception. and finnish language of course! and comics :) and sauna!
