Sea Sámi gákti

What aspects of your cultural heritage are you most proud of or interested in?

So I’m writing about the traditional clothing now, I want to get one made for me and they are made with great care and skill. Plus it’s really really expensive because they are special and often have unique spiritual meaning to the culture. I’m of Sámi ethnicity on both parents sides, my mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and me are/were in samemanntallet/Sametingets valgmantall we could vote in Sametingsvalget including this years elections.

I really love this very beautiful gákti, it’s not mine. I want one. I especially like the green-blue, red and yellow colours, design and the shape, slightly modern feeling as well.

Also like these. The pictures are not mine, I found it online for this dailyprompt answer.

Thanks for visiting ❤

Dette er meg (med modifikasjoner)

Norwegian language text about me and some AI avatars based on myself:

Her er noen AI avatarer basert på meg. Jeg heter Torunn. Jeg er samisk, kvensk, finsk, svensk og norsk med noe sannsynlig innfødt arktiske aner/inuitt og i tillegg endel nordafrikansk (kanskje fra Tunisia) noe lengre tilbake i fortiden. Jeg er både nordlending og finnmarking. Jeg har mye aner i Troms fylke og vi bodde i Tromsø og på Senja tidligere. I tillegg fra Agder og Rogaland i nær familie. Jeg har tatt DNA-tester fra MyHeritage og 23andMe, jeg har forsket på slekt siden 2007. Jeg er fylt 32 år snart. Jeg har aner av de Reisende på sørlandet og av Romanifolket i Norge og Sverige.

Jeg har moderat-alvorlig grad av Asperger syndrom og liker å skrive 😂❤️

emotional experience

standing in the rain playing in the background. I love many Billy Talent songs from youth ❤

emo kid with the heavy eyeliner and I also love hoodies still. They bullied me and poured orange juice on my jeans, then told the teachers I had peed on myself. It was worse because I often actually had wet in my jeans in class or during recess, I also had nocturnal enuresis/chronic bedwetting even at age 16. I had other issues with the function of the body. I wore type protective underwear during my heavy womanhood curse and was prescribed this aid from pharmacy like place. The protection works well, I use it still during my womanhood curse and especially at night. I need to write about this sometimes because it does affected my mental health strong.

I was an emo kid but didn’t self-harm with sharp things. I beat myself with glass bottles of Coca-Cola along with plastic bottles, had big bruises I was try hiding from everyone. I had the emo bangs and my hair was it’s own dark brown colour. I listening to MCR and The Used as well as other type emo musicians.

I’m suffering from psychosis and voice-hearing is part of my everyday life. They say very abusive things to me, reminding me of shameful times and emotional pain. They say strange things like ‘she is going to have major accidents in public’, in local grocery store. I’m a psychiatric patient and I’m an Aspie, that is I have Asperger syndrome. I must sometimes write because it actually helps me deal with my mental illness and the vivid memories of childhood adversity and bullying.

Torunn

My name, my true name from within. I chose it and I own it, letting go of my four letter name soon to be history of the past. I know I’m 31 years old and used to my offline official name, but I’m doing this life change now because it feels right.

And in addition I identify with the name Ingvild as my parents almost chose it as my birth given name, I really resonate with the strong meaning ‘foremothers struggle’ as a part of my own family research and passion for all of the Norwegian ethnic minority groups in general.

I’m a part of many ethnic groups; mostly Sámi and Kven/Finnish on maternal grandmother side and Reisende on maternal grandfather side, on fathers side with some Finnish/Kven and quite significant Sea Sámi origins. I’m also of so-called ethnic Norwegian origins, but the term is strange.

One thing about changes is that it is difficult getting used to them in the beginning so I’m going to struggle with this aspect in my everyday life. But it’s what I need now, so I’m doing it.

Southern Starry Summer Night

What is your favorite type of weather?

We in the Arctic regions have Midnight sun in summer time so the stars cannot be seen in these months. The few times I’ve been to more Southern regions in summer season holiday the sky really is dark, in comparison to our summer.

The favourite things about visiting South in summer season is it’s just strange it gets so dark and the times we saw the visible stars in the night sky ❤

I just recently bought these and they are already my favourite pair of shoes ever. They are stylish, warm, pretty and some symbolism. Absolutely lovely, and they were expensive shoes at 5000 Norwegian kroner, very pretty shoes and the best things about them are the ability to keep warm even at -25° celsius and the exotic look of the seal fur/hide with fur. I know it’s not suitable for vegans, however.

My journey has been short so far but I know it’s a long lasting type of joy, I’ve always wanted something similar to these boots. Now I actually have two different pair of seal boots from Topaz of Norway.

thank you for reading my blog ❤

I’m getting the Sami boots tomorrow 💗💕

I decided to buy the Topaz Sami boots in addition to my Amundsen high boots also from Topaz brand. Considering our lovely celebration of Samefolkets dag on 6th of February it’s very suitable for the symbolic expression of Sámi culture pride and they look really awesome wearing as well ❤

I hope your days are good everyone ❤
