I keep fighting

Art can adopt many forms and appear in places you'd never think.
Against myselfs, against the elements.
Against myselfs, against the elements.
Things are going much better.
But I still have to come to terms with myself. I have to gather myself, for I tend to be disperse.
I have opened an Etsy shop. Because inside me lies the dream of living off and for my little art. And I have the right to try it once in my life.

Empowering myself
I'm less productive than ever, and yet my creativity has been skyrocketing... or rather than skyrocketing, it's been tamed and put into diverse formats (very often my creations stayed in my head, as I feared that the outcome would not be good enough).
So these are the things that have enabled the change in my life (for the better):
- Being aware that my home is where my family is. My family is my daughter and, for the time being, my husband as well.
- Reconciling with the career I left behind for my daughter. So what? I got paid a lot for something I didn't enjoy. I got in return the gift of seeing my daughter grow and enjoy thoroughly all the stages of motherhood.
- I stopped trying to procrastinate my quest for happiness, thinking that it would be based on external details. No! What I need to be happy is inside me and depends entirely on me.
- Productive creativity! I try to be as productive as I can while doing what I enjoy the most. I go one step at a time, and it works.
- I got rid of the may things and distractions in my life that were a waste of my time. Facebook applications? Bye. 5 minutes I have to myself I won't throw away just like that.

Sydäntalvella
Sydäntalvella -
In the middlewinter
Luona lamppuni lämpöisen ---
Luona lamppuni lämpöisen ---
At my warm lamp
Kuluu hetkien kulta ---
Kuluu hetkien kulta ---
Passes the gold of the moments
Vielä pimeys ahmaisten ---
Vielä pimeys ahmaisten ---
Yet didn't the darkness, by devouring,
Ei sua ottanut multa ---
Ei sua ottanut multa ---
Take you from me
Sadun puutarhan aukaiset ---
Sadun puutarhan aukaiset ---
You open the garden of (the) fairytale
Sinne kahden me jäämme ---
Sinne kahden me jäämme ---
There we stay twofold
Ruusut kukkivat, tuliset ---
The fiery roses bloom
Hetken ympäri päämme ---
Hetken ympäri päämme ---
Around our head(s) for awhile
(chorus)
Kuule, ruoskien ikkunaa ---
Hear, lashing the window
Viuhuu lumiset siimat ---
Birr the snowy strings
Meren aavalta raivoaa ---
From the open (of the) sea rages
Sydäntalviset viimat ---
The breezes of the middlewinter
Vasten yötä ja pimeää ---
Against the night and the dark
Täytyy lähteä miehen ---
Täytyy lähteä miehen ---
A man must leave
Valo ikkunan häilähtää ---
Valo ikkunan häilähtää ---
A light of/(from) the window flashes
Vielä hetkeksi tiehen ---
Vielä hetkeksi tiehen ---
To the road for a moment
Luona lamppuni viipyen ---
Luona lamppuni viipyen ---
Staying by my lamp
Sitten muuta en tiedä ---
Sitten muuta en tiedä ---
After that I don't know (anything) else
Näen myrskyssä poikasen ---
Näen myrskyssä poikasen ---
I see a boy/youngster in the storm
Käyvän kuilujen viertä ---
Käyvän kuilujen viertä ---
Walking beside gorges

Easier...
This is a revelation, an epifany, a diary of how I change my life to start anew.
