'And if you're in love then you are the lucky one 
'Cause most of us are bitter over someone
Setting fire to our insides for fun 
To distract our hearts from ever missing them
But I'm forever missing him'


From Rovaniemi, Finland
Beyond Polar Circle

Tomorrow will be our last day in Lapland. 
We went today to Ranua wildlife park and i saw - for the first time - a polar bear.
I felt something huge.
Like if he was just like us. 
A huge predator waiting for his own death, watching quietly people running around him like so many flies. A beautiful monster, hearing and feeling things that most of the overs can't. Knowing that his time is running down and that it's no use to cry, no use to fight, not anymore. So lonely and wise, cruel and foolish.
I know they are dying and i know it is now too late to save them. I know they would kill us all if they could, that in earth all species evolve or die, it's the way it is, and i know it's not my fault for being the human when he's the bear.
But that feeling in my chest - pain, respect and shame, would make me insane if i wasn't going to forget it as fast as it came - because i am a human being.

That aside
I spent amazing holidays. Northen mountains are something you need to see before you die, as midnight sun.
That was also my last hodilays as a teenager with my family ~ now i will have to be adult. It's okay. I will came back here on my own. In winter ?

I have so much things to do when i'll be back home.

I need to draw something right now.
I want to read something cool.

I need to remember polar bears.
