Spring/Summer 2013 - the Essentials of the Season

Me and Jo have this funny little habit in our group of friends of announcing themes for each four seasons of a year: themes for our love lives. It's not a dead-searious guideline to follow, it's just something fun to boost our already fabulous single life even more. This exciting seasonality started a year ago, as we both were moving back to Helsinki from our adventurous little field trips around the world - and as we were both in the mood for love.

So, Jo launched the Summer of 2012 the be the greatest of all, a mindblowing, tell-your-grandchildren-about-this, the official Summer of Love.

It went ok. I met a man that changed my world at a rock festival in Belgium. However, though we both were ready to get married, buy a caravan and drive around the world together after the festival weekend, it didn't lead that far in the real world. 

So September started with still no love. Jo, again, thought that it would be time to freshen up our mindset, so the fall became the Fall of Crush. 

It was a flop. Nothing worth mentioning was going on. I ended up dating a skateboarder who was shorter than me and lying myself that maybe I do like this guy, I just don't realize it, because he's so short.. Well, no way. 

After the two seasons of searching for the one, we were really sick and tired of sweet sweet love. It was time for the Winter of Bang.

As a surprise to no one, it was a huge success. 

However, as emotional motherfuckers like we are, we needed something more when the days started to get longer - so this evolved into the Spring of Fling.  

The Spring surprised even myself with the flingy things it brought with it. So as the days have been getting warmer, leaves greener and white wine spritzers more and more enjoyable, the Spring of Fling has pointed out which direction it is leading us. 

So welcome - the Summer of Romance.
