Yeah Just as a general note You should eliminate any thought that there is an expectation that you do anything by any age You don’t have to be married with kids by 25 It’s ok to be 16 and never been kissed There’s nothing wrong with you if you haven’t graduated from college by 22 You’re not a failure because you don’t have your dream job at 30 There are no rules to life. You don’t get special points for achieving certain things by a deadline. Just go at your own speed. It’s not a race.

Jaksaa, jaksaa!

In Finnish, we have this lovely little verb ”jaksaa”.

Yesterday we had a lovely discussion on it at the uni (thank you to my friends, it was really interesting!) and got to a conclusion that this word impossible to translate to English simply and profoundly.

A dictionary gives options such as manage, be able to, have enough strength. They’re all okay and usable, but not spot on. Jaksaa means a state that’s mental as well as physical, it means that someone has the energy or strength and willpower to keep on going; it means that someone is powerful enough to do something. Easiest way to get close to the meaning is to give examples.

In sports you might hear someone yelling to a skier “jaksaa, jaksaa!” which roughly could be translated as a cheer or order to keep going.

“Jaksa vielä vähän aikaa” – “Bear it a little while while more”, something to say to someone who’s hurting and waiting for help, or someone who is really impatiently waiting to get somewhere.

“Kyllä hän jaksaa” – “He will be able to do it”, for example when someone needs to lift something heavy, and not everyone believes, you could say this.

Again I found it eternally interesting as to how languages do have words that are not so easy and straight-forward to translate.

You can’t change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

but it really is so important to find people who don’t lose patience with you or get angry if you’re being irrational or insecure or downright ridiculous, it is so so necessary to be treated with gentleness from loved ones and not to be made to feel like you’re irritating or a burden
