This time I'm going to do three days at once, because days 3 and 4 are going to be answered very shortly.
Where I want to be in 10 years?
- I want to have a child - boy or girl, I don't care
- I want to have a job that supports me and doesn't want to make me kill myself; doesn't need to be the best job in the world, doesn't need to pay the most, just enough so I don't cry myself to sleep because I have no money to pay my phone bill
- Own my own place - alright, I'm halfway there, but I don't want to stay in Finland for the rest of my life and I don't want to necessarily live in a 300 square metre house with a very small family or say just one dog if the kid part doesn't come to pass...
- In a country that I enjoy living in; sure I'll need to test a few places before I find the right place, but maybe Switzerland, Canada, Germany or Sweden? Something relatively familiar, close to my happy place and yet not Finland.
I think that's it. In 10 years I'll be 33½ and I'm not expecting to have everything by then. My health and a home are basically the biggest things, and with my health I need enough money to pay for hospital visits, so yeah. Well, not too out there I suppose, but hopefully down to earth enough to actually happen by the time I'm 34.
My views on drugs and alcohol?
Alcohol: don't drink too much, no need to be a teatotaller, but don't overdo it, it's really not healthy and it makes you look like an idiot. I speak from experience.
Drugs: this medium is too public to post my views here, I'm sorry.
My views on religion?
Religion is not needed for a person to have ethics and morals - and I don't care if you believe in God or don't believe, or what God/gods you believe in, just as long as your life's mission is not to judge others for not believing what you believe in. Okay? Okay.
Transplant patient with all kinds of worries from hospital fear to dieting, and loads about good music, tattoos and rock n' roll!

We're all faithful in our own ways and faithless more than anything
I know this is a touchy subject, and I probably shouldn't go into it at all, but I want to.
I was born to a family of one absolutely faithful Lutheran and one churchless. My mother had conviction, she taught me to be good Christian and she taught me that science and faith don't clash, they can both exist at the same time. She was a doctor. My dad, the biochemist, doesn't care one way or the other if a god exists or not. He belongs to a church in Switzerland, but he doesn't like the institution. Neither did my mother, though she had more faith than many Christians I know.
This year, in July, I resigned from the Lutheran church. I had noticed over the years that I wasn't a protestant, I couldn't belong to a protestant church and fake my faith towards it.
So I resigned.
But I have my faith. I believe in God. I am a Christian. I'm just a very liberal, anti-papal Catholic. And I do not belong to any church...yet. Faith and church do not in my opinion go together. One can have faith without church and one can be part of a church without having any faith.
And I believe that religion and everything that goes in religious faith, should be everyone's personal issue, not something to be pushed on others, everyone should be allowed to be left in peace when it comes to faith.
If my faith is correct, and there is a hell and heaven, I know I am going to hell, and I am going to live my life to the fullest, even though I believe in this. Why? Because it's my business. It's my faith.
Your faith is yours and you are allowed to believe in whatever else I might not believe in. I dont' care, and neither should you.
Faith can be absolutely anything. It doesn't have to involve a god of any kind. It can just be hope and belief in something.
