I might be one of the few people in Finland who haven't followed #sarasieppi's career or news written about her. But I wanted to read her biography #olikssullavieläjotain.

It's an amazing book, honest+very detailed story. She was dreaming about being #missfinland already as a kid. A career of a #misssuomi is not the easiest one, but tough work that requires a lot. And she has lost a lot too: her privacy (as 19yo😭), the trust in people, important people and partly her health too.

Teens are dreaming about an #influencer career. I hope they read this to think again. Is this really what they want?

A quote:

"I no longer dream of being a millionaire. I rather dream of being happy and being able to enjoy life.
I want to pause to admire a beautiful sunset, watch one more episode of my favorite show in the arms of someone I love. To forget my phone at home and live a wonderful moment without taking a single picture of it."
