Who is this Thomas anyway?

My name is Thomas Aspen, a Finnish guy living in the Helsinki. I write personal essays that explore the complexities of fatherhood, family dynamics, and the human condition. And also, how is the life like living in the most happy and one most north country.

My life is not more interesting than yours or anyone else's, but in my writing, I reflect on the joys, struggles, and profound moments of raising children and navigating the challenges of modern parenthood, as experienced here in the Nordics. Through my stories, I hope to share the ups and downs of life, one experience at a time.
