I am Matti.
Living the quiet life.
•dogs
•reading and writing in cafés
•walking around water, forests & hilltops
I sleep a lot. Once awake, I'm a coffee vampire.
My attitude:
The world we live in is a paradox: Astonishingly beautiful & cruel beyond reason. I see three ways to deal with that:
1) Silently endure.
2) Flee into art/ activity
3) Take action for change.
Sadness is truth, self-pity performative. You're into complaining & fingerpointing? Be gone.
I personally dont understand political theatrics or many things people stress about. We live on a spinning rock drifting through black void. However you spend your blink of existence, it won't last. Nobody can change their nature. But a person who tries to be a flicker of light in the dark is remarkable to me.

I'd appreciate a kind & witted soul to connect with. Since a good way for me leads through art, I just share works I enjoy. What are yours?
Aesthetics I admire:
