This has instantly taken all the love I had for Poets of the Fall and shattered it, rebuilding from the ground up with a stronger and even more intense love for the stories around me, the music that outlines each moment in life, and the hope for what can be possible. For those of you who either havent heard of my passion or are unaware of how I came to adore Finland, it started with this band. I heard a song of theirs and was entranced by the vocal talent, the ambience of their sound, and what their music was generally about. They come from Finland? Must be some island in the middle of nowhere surrounded by sharks and dolphins; I dont know. And it started. I began the research and the spiral into the depths that is quality education, family- and progress-based mindsets, and the value of quiet determination. My blood began to bleed blue and white. I was a Finnish heart on American soil and, in December of 2012, I found my way to where my soul was calling. In 2017, I shall return to celebrate their 100th year of Independence. Seeing this video show snippets of places Ive walked reminded me of where I was going, where I had been, and why I work as hard as I do for the goals I so firmly believe in. This video reminded me that lives going on around me - the struggles and triumphs alike. So many have lessons and tales they would love to share with you. I would love for you to take a moment out of your day to learn a little bit about Finland because its totally worth it, but its not necessary. Instead, take a moment to think of what youre passionate about and share it with someone around you. But thats not all; thats the easy part. The catch is, I want you to listen to someone /else/ about /their/ passions, listen to their story, and really /see/ them for who they are, pressing pause on the comparison and forgetting about yourself for the moment. Ive gone on and on about Finland for years now, and most of my friends know of my passion (okay, obsession). I dont know about yours. Would you care to share? Love is there when you open the door and you step off the trail you knew before.
