Getting the gákti

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

Yes I really want to own a Loppa/Kvænangen gákti for special occations like 6th of February, 16th of March and 17th of May. But they are expensive to get made and the makers need the right measurements to create it. But for some reason I delay asking to pay for nice traditional clothing that’s both useful, pretty and symbolic of ancestral parts.

And yes, I’m a Sámi woman. I’m also Finnish plus Kven origins that matter to me immensely, I fucking love Finland and the culture around different parts of Finnish life. Especially the languages of Finland.

Life is great, keep fighting the horrors of our day. It matters every good act, every person seen without judgement based on minor differences.

Thanks for listening ❤

Seroquel is good

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

I really need to switch medications to high dosage quetiapine as soon as I can because this sleepless state makes me more crazy and the antipsychotics stop working decent when no sleep no dreams no rest. But I have the motivation to keep moving toward quetiapine instead of no sleep and psychotic thinking. I’m sorry if this made no sense. Hood evening front Norway

Travel and busy, både norsk og engelsk ord

Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.

It feels like I am to busy to travel around Scandinavia and Finland to see for myself what my ancestors environment was like, even though I really wish to do this it never gets made into reality. But I still dream of this eventually becoming real and the unforgettable memories from our Torne River Valley trip in 2016 stands out as my most insightful and deep summer holiday experience ever.

Norwegian language text:

Jeg vil reise rundt i Skandinavia og Finland for å se landskapet og ulike kulturelle aktiviteter, jeg er meget interessert i slektsforskning og vår etniske arv. Jeg føler at jeg har det for travelt til å virkelig reise dit jeg egentlig ønsker å besøke, men det trenger ikke å være sånn for evig tid.

Takk for besøket/thanks for visiting ❤

I’m going to be completely honest and say there are a lot of things that never get done; both inside me (mental health/voice-hearing, emotional wounds etc) and the outside world (like organizing my apartment, meeting with friends and other positive/good stressors). It’s very related to my difficult time with apathy and avolition that are significant parts of my own symptoms of schizoaffective and autistic conditions. Not everyone with these dx has the same type symptoms and difficulties that I have, just to clarify that I’m aware of the diversity within the diagnoses. And I need to sort out what I should start with first, a small step forward can help make it easier to complete and follow through with.
