Hi!

I'm Petra, a 27-year-old dread head living in Oulu, one of the major cities in Finland. I live with my long-term boyfriend Mikko, and our two domestic short-haired cats, Iita and Lyyli. Mikko and I stay at home a lot, often binge-watching movies and TV shows. I also like postcrossing, music, reading and crafting (sewing, crocheting, knitting, fuse beads, papercrafts). I've suffered from recurrent depression since my early teens, and unfortunately that makes me kind of an on/off person. That affects my hobbies, and I usually have the energy to focus on just one hobby at a time (or none at all), leaving the others to wait for their turn again.
