Northern Norwegian thoughts

What do you love about where you live?

I’ve lived in different places in Northern Norway my entire life. Nordland, Troms and Finnmark counties. Always north of the Arctic circle and I’m Norwegian speaking with strong Southern influence on everything, my mix of Northern and Southern is what makes identity police angry they want people to fit neatly into some type of uniform shape, a box with a label on.

Oh, I forgot the question.

Yes, what I love about where I live is our diverse landscape and the wild sea, our Northern type fjords and the big mountains, the forests of pine and birch tree. This is true for every place I’ve lived in, including my current home town. The Light changes, the cold winter days, the summer time Midnight sun and now autumn is coming.

and the people are different here, we don’t take everything so serious and we have the unique sense of humor that the Capital City regions persons or from other (Norwegian ethnicity) culture don’t understand well.

I care about our ethnic minority languages and cultures, even the ones I have no connection to. I know no Forest Finns or Jews, but every minority should be respected and heard.

My mind is a maze, Maze river dam, I’ll have a Sámi general physician some time in the future. I’m on a waiting list.

Btw have I mentioned that I have schizoaffective disorder?

I live in Finnmark county and I write about many different topics. This is where I express my mind in words. I love drum&bass, dubstep and metal.
