Shortly about me and my blog

So exciting to start writing a blog about me and my life. So many of us have things we should have done ages ago, so this blog was one of mine. I start with introducing myself and then the purpose with my blog:

I’m a 20 years old female football player from Finland and I play the second season for Åland United. So yes, I play in my home country’s league for the 4th season, even though I played and moved to Germany after my football dream when I was 15 years old in july 2017. 

But I moved back home in christmas 2018 and returned to play for my old club, F.C Honka. I have also been playing for the youth national teams between 2017-2020, and a year ago I got my first call up with the women’s national team. Beside football, I am an educated sports leader. I love art, music, nature, animals, all different kinds of sports, spending time with my family and close friends. I also speak four different languages, which are Swedish, Finnish, English and German, but I wish I could learn more languages in the future.

Thanks to football, I have got the opportunity to see the world because of football, which I’m really grateful for. 

For my age I feel, that I have been through a lot of things, including my dad’s death last summer. That’s why few of my friends and my mum have been suggesting that I should write a blog to share my thoughts and experiences. 

I’m still unsure in which language I am going to write with. I would like to write in English, but in general, even though I like to write, it is one of my insecurities. When I was younger, I had difficulties with reading and writing, but still I got decent grades in my texts because my text content was pretty good even though my grammar was not the strongest. By writing this blog, I feel I also have a great opportunity to learn to write even better, and I’m facing my insecurity. 

My idea is to write about every previous month and share my thoughts, ideas and basically what I have experienced in that month. Also, it will be a nice thing to read afterwards, what has happened in this year and how I have been facing and thinking about things. 

I hope you who are reading this, will enjoy my content and get something out of it! 

With love, Dana
