Dear Mom,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry I haven\u2019t written in a few days. I\u2019ve been trying to think of something to tell you about. Some funny, annoying or interesting thing that\u2019s happened recently. I mean, I\u2019ve been thinking about ordering a selfie stick<\/a> – I\u2019m pretty sure I will \u2013 but that\u2019s not exactly news that warrants a letter. It\u2019s more like a text message or maybe a Facebook status update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is, all that funny, crazy and wonderful stuff that usually happens when you leave your house and go out into your life to interact with other people just hasn’t felt as funny or interesting lately. Who cares what movies are playing? Who gives a shit how much money Joan Rivers left to her dogs<\/a> ? Honestly, I don\u2019t even care who\u2019s on the new season of Vain El\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4<\/a> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know I sound like a broken record. And I know my worrying about ISIS and Russia won\u2019t change anything that may or may not end up happening. But I can\u2019t help it. The world we\u2019re living in today is seriously f***ing scary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I never would have imagined as a kid growing up in New York that there would come a day (much less decades or even generations… we\u2019ll see…) when flying into JFK would feel like Russian roulette. But that day did come on September 11th<\/sup>, 2001. In the days and years after the threat to New York (and the rest of the US) became a reality, you often said you were glad I lived somewhere safe and far away. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s not like anyone would ever want to bomb Helsinki, for God\u2019s sake,\u201d you said. But Putin might. And as of today around 50 people from Finland are in Syria fighting with ISIS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks ago my friend Bambi asked if our family had a contingency plan if Putin (or whoever) turns out to be crazy enough to actually try to turn \u201csafe\u201d and neutral Finland into a danger zone. I said I guess we\u2019d go to New York. But obviously that’s not exactly the safest option. We decided Australia was probably one of the best choices…. if you want to be publicly beheaded<\/a>, as it turns out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, I wish I cared that both Paula Koivuniemi AND Elastinen are on this season\u2019s Vain El\u00e4m\u00e4\u00e4. I wish I felt bad about how devastated Joan Rivers\u2019 dogs must be. I wish I felt like going to the movies. But I don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days first world problems have become third world problems. And when that happens, your focus just automatically shifts to things that really matter. Like trying to avoid almost certainly inevitable terrorist attacks. And worrying about what kind of future your kids are going to have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigh… maybe buying myself that selfie stick will help cheer me up. But probably not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Depressed in Helsinki,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
