This is such a sweet piece of writing! Really enjoyed reading it. I've never been too tight with neighbours except when I was a kid and this made me with it wasn't that way. Oh well, unfortunately people are a bit less friendly here in Helsinki compared to NY I imagine...

Thank you for reading and for sharing your thoughts! I’ve been dying to make it to Finland. For some reason, I figured that people there would be incredibly friendly!

I can really recommend Helsinki as a place to visit!! And yea I mean while I'd say people are kind, they usually just mind their own business and don't really care to strike up conversation with strangers lol

I just finished reading your post, and it was truly beautiful. I felt like I was right there with you, experiencing every moment. Thank you for restoring faith in humanity with your writing. It’s incredible how one conversation can change everything. We’re all constantly evolving, and you never know what someone might be going through. I hope you get to enjoy that fire outside soon. Your words have made a real impact on me.
