This Christmas, media personality and rally kart Janni Hussi is in front of a new one.

Hussi and his ex-spouse Joel Harkimo announced in the summer on social media that they were separating. Hussi and Harkimo filed for divorce without a cooling-off period based on two years of living apart. The couple was sentenced to divorce in October.

Fresh The word is free In the episode of the podcast, Hussi and his co-host Sointu Borg discuss loneliness. Hussi takes up his changed life situation and says that around Christmas, the new life situation has also raised thoughts about loneliness.

Hussi and Harkimo were together for about seven years, two of which were married.

– Certain feelings of loneliness are raising their heads for the first time in a really long time, Hussi says.

Hussi points out that he basically enjoys being by himself and needs his own space as a counterweight to social work.

– Now I notice, when Christmas is just around the corner and also the new year, that I do feel a bit lonely now, he says.

– It’s diabolical those holidays, when so much of such a certain expectation is built into them. Assumptions and thoughts about how they should be spent, Hussi ponders.

He says that he doesn’t consider himself a Christmas person or has previously considered celebrating the new year to be very meaningful.

– Why have I suddenly started stressing about something, that it’s no joke, I don’t have anyone here for Christmas, he wonders.

Apparently, Hussi plans to spend Christmas in Kouvola with his family. In the podcast, he talks about the Christmas plans of other loved ones in the midst of large families. Talking about how others have a lot of people around them has made them think more about their own loneliness.

Spouses and family members are also closely related to the plans for celebrating the New Year.

– Wait a minute, am I alone this new year. I’m probably watching rockets from my balcony with Harri, Hussi thinks, referring to his pet dog.

– It undoubtedly causes such a rather painful feeling.

Borg understands Huss and thinks about how the coming Christmas holidays can be the most painful when you have to recreate your own traditions.

Hussi admits that the situation seems strange to him.

– Basically, you are used to making all holiday plans with your partner, be it New Year’s or Midsummer. Now, suddenly, you have to start creating your own traditions for celebrating holidays.

– It’s really sad in a way and I don’t really know where to begin to dismantle this. I don’t feel like I’m a lonely person, but suddenly I get very strong feelings of loneliness, says Hussi.

He is amazed by the workings of the human mind and how even parties that were previously meaningless to him now take on greater significance than before. It’s really hard to even get a hold of where exactly the feelings are coming from.

– Suddenly, I start to create such completely senseless, irrational needs for myself in connection with the holidays, which would never have happened in my previous life situation.

Hussi states that he is actually lucky. He has a family to spend Christmas with and friends to call.
