Anywhere (Every dream’s a journey away )

Last January happened something super special to me. I took my most beautiful victorian style outfit and styled it with my Purple octobus moon necklace, Sanna von steam victorian skirt looked so good I wear it the whole day, even at home. Anyway.. Heidi came in Pori and I had a chance to get on a horse first time in my life, with amazing support from my best friend.

It was so hard to get on the horse, Pihla was so big! I needed a stoole and still Heidi needed to pull me on the other side, with corset, satin skirt and high heels.. and no saddle. It was so amazing to do my first horseback riding experience elf style. I felt like I was on Lord of the rings! After I almost pass out for getting so exited about finally getting on and then get scared about the fact that I am on, I started to grin so much my face almost stayed that way. I soon realized how much muscle you need to ride the horse and stay on it, my butt hurt even the day after.. corset helped a little with the posture but it still needed a lot of work I didn´t forgot that. It was amazing, although I didn´t ride that much and only in little circles because everytime Pihla moved I got freaked out she will throw my over, gladly she just wanted carrots from her owner haha. Pihla was so calm and beautiful, I totally fell in love with her. Earlier

I had just pet horses a little and I have a memory of me trying to get on a little horse when I was a child but got scared so much I started to kick the saddle and crying.. poor horsie, gladly even that horsie didn´t mind. My fear isn´t about that I am scared horses all together, but the fact you need to get on it. I just like to watch big animals, not get killed or force them to do anything. But after my experience, I can gladly say, horsies and ponies loves the riding just as much as human. Pihla would have wanted to ride with me, shoot was so boring for her haha. I bet she was thinking "why are we just standing here, when we can eat or run?".

 After the shoot and now that the time has passed so much, I can truly say, I am not afraid anymore, everytime I even think about doing it again, my heart start racing and I start smiling. It was so amazing, soooo amazing I say. Now that I watch the bts pictures I look so happy and I remember how magnificent it felt to hug Pihla while being on her back. She was so furry and big, I felt all of her muscles and she felt mine too. It was so other world experience to communicate without any words, only with your body. Because I didn´t have a saddle I needed to hold on horse´s mane and bridle at the same time, while I did that I was just thinking was Harry thinking the same thing that I am when he was riding on Buckbeak in third book.

Have you ride a horse? Or is it your hobby, life already? I want to hear all about your experiences!

And the song which starts to play in my head everytime I see the picture.. I listened it so much when I found Nightwish. I had my headphones and cd player in my parents summer house, the whole year went by while listening Nightwish and imaging the world Tuomas have made in my head.

The days were brighter 

Gardens more blooming 

The nights had more hope 

In their silence The wild was calling 

Wishes were whispering 

The time was there 

But without a meaning

Away, away in time 

Every dream’s a journey away 

Away to a home away from care 

Everywhere’s just a journey away

The days departed 

Gardens deserted 

This frail world 

My only rest ?

The wild calls no more 

Wishes so hollow 

The Barefoot Boy 

weeping in an empty night

Away…

Cherish the moment 

Tower the skies 

Don’t let the dreamer 

fade to grey like grass

No falling for life 

A gain for every loss 

Time gathered me 

But kept me flying

“For this gift of dream I must pay the price 

with the loss of life’s pleasures”
