Day 6: 10 songs I'm loving right now

1. OneRepublic - Wherever I Go

I never really paid attention to OneRepublic before the song "Counting Stars". After loving that, it was easy to love this one as well.



Some people lie but they're looking for magic
Others are quietly going insane
I feel alive when I'm close to the madness
No easy love could ever make me feel the same

2. Hans Zimmer - Time

This song is from the movie Inception. I was impressed with it it when I first heard it and I continue to dig it to this day. I love the way it builds up.



 3. Nat King Cole - Nature Boy

 I have loved this song as long as I can remember. I have been humming and singing it a lot during the last week.



 And then one day
One magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

4. Lauryn Hill - Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You

Can't take my eyes off of you is also one of those songs I find myself singing occasionally. It just doesn't get old. Lauryn Hill is one of my favorite all time artists, and possibly even my favorite female artist.

5. Alan Walker - Faded



6. Rag'n'Bone Man - Human

 This was the first song I ever heard from this British singer-songwriter and I loved it instantly.



 7. Twenty One Pilots - Heathens

I had actually never seen the video before and I haven't seen the movie to which this supposedly is made. I just really like the song for some inexplicable reason.



8. Mandy Moore and Zachary Levi - I See The Light (from the movie Tangled)

I liked this song when I first heard it while watching the movie with my kids, and with time it really grew on me.



And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you

9. Kansalaiset feat. Medborgare - Olen suomalainen

This song is originally Italian (Toto Cutugno - L'italiano), but it was translated in Finnish already decades ago. In the recent years it was remade and this version is sung by people that haven't necessarily been born in Finland, but feel Finnish. I really love the idea and my YouTube channel constantly reminds me I've liked this song, thus I have listened to it quite a lot lately.



10. Ariana Grande - Side to Side

I like the first 15 seconds if this song, which is why I often click it on and listen to the whole thing. I'm almost embarrassed to admit listening to this, haha.

I removed all of my Instagram followers to feel free to be authentically me

Tonight I removed all of my followers on Instagram. It was a private account with some 200+ followers, but I admit, removing most of them actually hurt. I did it, because Instagram was no longer the social media I began using in July 2012. In the beginning I would only post pictures of our every day life. Whenever my children were in the photos, I would photograph them so that you couldn't see their faces. Then somewhere in the middle I turned my then public account into a private one and started to share more open content. Over the years I've posted nearly 4000 pictures of our every day life. In the end I realized I was looking at the number of people liking my posts rather than the posts and trying to understand why the adorable picture of my kid got three likes, or the actually very beautiful picture of a make-believe satellite received full two likes, while someone's black and white picture of a cake - that would be impossible to understand was cake without the desc

I heart enough

Image
About a month ago I woke up to my snooze alarm clock. Usually I stay in bed for five minutes with my eyes closed after waking up, thinking about all the good things I expect from the day. That morning though I realized I had been snoozing too much and we were running late, so I jumped out of bed and started dressing up. Suddenly I felt my pulse rising. My heart seemed to be beating out of my chest. As usual, I was wearing my Fitbit, so it was easy to see what the current heart rate was. It was over 170 and I had just woken up. I called my husband, who was on his way to work. I told him something was up with my heart. He said he was coming back home. I asked my 10-year-old daughter to come to talk to me and I had to do something I wish I did not need to impose on her. I told her if I pass out, she should call an ambulance, because my heart was beating way too fast at that moment and I was feeling very vulnerable. She sat on the bed with me and told me to breathe slow. My baby, taking

Icy rain reveals personality

Image
I was born and raised in Finland and needless to say, I have experienced cold, snowy winters. Ten years ago I moved to the Netherlands and since then I have experienced cold, rainy winters that sometimes turn into warm, rainy winters. Today I happened to be picking up my kids from school just when icy drizzle was scheduled. Yes, I should've dressed everyone in rain proof clothing, but usually we manage that one kilometer in a drizzle no problem. I evaluated the rain wasn't going to bother us too much, but I completely forgot to calculate in the effect of the ice cold rain. My kids have proper rain attire. Too bad I had left it all at home. When we were leaving school, a boat was passing and our bridge was closed. Not to freeze while waiting, I decided it was better to keep on moving, and cycle through another bridge, even though it added half a kilometer. Soon enough the rain had passed both my jacket and the thick sweater underneath and I felt the cold water against
