past time

answer to dailyprompt-2083

hobbies and pastimes?

Yes, family research. Genealogy and other methods of knowing more about our roots, like recently DNA-tests and my whole journey has been in community on MyHeritage websites like mine. My great-grandmother was an old style family researcher who wrote a well-known book about the local history in a particular old area of Northern Norway and I own the book myself as well.

I in addition love tea like oolong, Darjeeling and Earl Grey as well as rooibos and chamomille tea. I love listening to music and learning my roots in Finnish language and North Sámi as well. It does really connect deeply with family research in general, it bring me closer to the people I read about in records and my dreamwork, 12th house themes and 4th house roots with Moon-Pluto in Scorpio sign. It’s profound in the importance of my pastime hobbies.

I also explore themes in terms of astrology and inner work, where we come from in a deeper psychological perspective as well. I began this path in 2007 at age 14 and I’m still going in 2025 at age 32, so it’s not only just a pastime of my youth, it’s my core mission for my roots.

And the part of the psychological past is very much important to this family research, it’s the essence of where we came from. My father was struggle with severe bullying and xenophobic abuse from school system and peers, his wounds are not measured by only his own suffering but the heritage I live with today. It’s very sensitive topics for him especially and in my own life also.

So it’s past time, impacting our current society and family cultures. I wish I knew him better, and I miss knowing more about his biological father life history not just the names but the lived lives of my ancestors. Maybe the insights are coming one day, unexpected.

Thanks for listening and have a great research day ❤ ❤
