Dear you,

It wasn’t until I moved to Finland, that I saw that people can share a bed while covering themselves in separate quilts. It’s the perfect visualization of healthy boundaries, isn’t it? Our bodies need to stay warm while the ferocities of the winter season are unravelling and it’s highly unlikely to sleep well with your feet soles exposed. I love you. I would never wish you sleep disturbances. In fact, I would never wish this to anyone, as I cannot stand any feelings of actual vulnerability myself either. There I admit it. Yet, I am finally unembarrassable enough to disclose my money trouble on social media.

I have shifted the optics of the power dynamics between us, although it’s all still here. I often suspect to have unconsciously constructed a version myself that approximates you. It doesn’t go away when you are not looking though, so I made a mind map to deal with us and then I failed to use it.

I am secretly in Athens this month and everything is different again. I started my Saturn return, did you know? I must have told you a hundred times already. Today I started feeling homesick for Helsinki as I am planning a film shooting there for the end of February. Sometimes I wish I could invite you, but most of the time I don’t.

Love,

D
