It's me! Hi! 👋🏻

Hello you who just found this small corner in the big world of sites and blogs. 

I like to call myself Alaska (I'll tell you about it later) and this is what I like to call "My House". The name takes inspiration by my favorite male artist's last album, "Harry's House", and when I listened to it enough times to know every song lyric, I though: "Well, if Harry 'brought' us into his house, why can't I do the same? Why can't I share with people what I love the most?" and so here I am. But we might have some something in common if you're here.
If there's one thing my friends wish I could stop talking about is books. I love books, I live books, I cherish them. They occupy the biggest part in My House and in my heart. I've always loved reading and I'll try to share this passion of mine with you as well. Who knows? Maybe I'll inspire your next book club choice. What I also love, that's tied with reading, is writing. In my best and worst moments I find myself on a piece of paper with a pen or a pencil and scribbling down whatever I have on my mind.
In the second biggest part of My House there is my passion for Cinema, with capital letter. Which includes movies, TV shows, TV series, documentaries etc. The only thing that keeps me from watching some of the best works is my very easily-scaring ego: it cannot help itself to watch horror stories or very violent movies. But I'm developing! I am in fact trying to watch Scarface. I say "trying" because almost after thirty minutes someone comes up with an eletric saw and I had to skip over, mostly because I have nightmares about those monstrous things since I watched "American Psycho" with my cousin. That said, something else I can't stop blabbering about is music. Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Elton John, Queen, Bon Jovi, Guns 'n' Roses, they all have been on the wall in my bedroom. With them I travelled "each and every highway", as Frank Sinatra sings in "My Way". They've been with me for as long as I remember. And I'm not tired of them yet.

I will now tell you why I like the name "Alaska", if you're a bookworm like me, you've probably guessed it, if not, it's alright: it comes from my favorite book by John Green, "Looking for Alaska". There's this passage where the main male character asks her "But why, Alaska?" and she tells him the whole story, why at first she picked and what it means, something she discovered later than the moment she chose it. It means "that which the sea breaks against". And just like she does, I love it. I also relate to her character, but also to many of the other characters, more than I ever had. I've never gone around saying that I feel like that character in that book. She's the only one. Maybe after reading "Normal People" by Sally Rooney I started thinking that maybe I am tiny little bit of Marianne and a LOT of Connel, but at the bone, I'm all but Alaska Young. If you read the book you might think it's depressive to feel like her, but hey, everyone has their comfortable people and she's that person that makes me go through everything. I'd do anyhting for her, because I am her.

Oh God, this is me going dark. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. But you should get used to it, if you plan on sticking around.

This is it, for now. I hope to be as stable as possible in publishing, but I don't make promises. I have a life afterall.

Thanks for stopping by My House, I hope I'll see you again the next time. In meantime you can check out the other platforms I post on, maybe you'll find those more interesting.

Salute from Alyeska's House.
