La Villette park in Paris, late 2017 or early 2018. This is not really one of the photos I write about, but those would be more personal.
OCTOBER 24th 2018 — Nearly everyone must know the feeling. Coming across and looking through photos that trigger waves of memories, remembering what it was all like. People we miss… memories of happy times… good moments.
In lonelier times this feeling can be overwhelming. There may be tears. And we may remember with infinite regret things we didn’t do as well as we should have. Perhaps causing that happiness to flee. If we had done things differently, we might still be happy and those times may never have fled.
Did I say there may be tears? Of course there are. All the above being true, of course there are.
I moved to Iceland in the summer of 2018 after a sojourn in Paris the winter before. I was born in Finland. This journal features explorations of various works of art & entertainment undertaken while here in Iceland. Sometimes there may be clear connections to Iceland. Sometimes not. I have written for games such as SERENA (downloaded on Steam more than 1.6 million times), and currently I am writing music, poetry, and a script (screenplay & stage play) set in Iceland. I am also on Spotify and share all music I listen to there.
