Hey My Love

Letters for the days you don’t want to feel alone

I’m Tonia, a Finnish mom, singer and writer of soft late-night letters. I write as if I were talking to someone I love – if you want, that someone can be you.

  • Hey my love, Christmas lights and laundry drums

    Hey my love, This week our home has slowly started to glow.We’ve been hanging the last strings of lights, placing little Christmas decorations here and there — tiny stars on shelves, soft lights in the windows, little hints that the year is wrapping itself gently around us. Somewhere between all that, I’ve written two more…

  • Hey my love, you’re my home after a long weekend

    Hey my love, I feel like I’ve lived three weeks inside one weekend, and now I’m writing to you from under a blanket, finally still. Let me curl up next to you in words and tell you how it’s been. On Friday I went straight from work to our staff Christmas party.The atmosphere was warm…

  • Hey my love, tell me what you like

    Hey my love, This morning I stood in the kitchen, half asleep, making coffee… absolutely convinced it was Wednesday.When I finally realised it was already Thursday, I almost laughed out loud. No wonder I feel like the week has just slipped through my fingers — it really has. The days have gone by so quickly…

  • Hey my love, I saved what’s left of today for you

    Hey my love, I didn’t sleep enough last night.You know that heavy kind of tired, where the alarm rings and it feels like you’ve only just closed your eyes? That was me this morning — staring at my phone, trying to convince my body that yes, we really do have to get up now. So…

  • Hey my love, I saved this evening for you

    Hey my love, This morning felt soft in a way I really needed.No rush, no chaos — just a quiet apartment, a warm cup of coffee in my hands and that slow, sleepy feeling of a new day beginning. I sat there for a moment, still wrapped in that early silence, sipping my coffee and…

  • Hey my love, from the in-between

    Hey my love, Tonight I’m writing to you from somewhere in between.Not from a forever home, not from a fresh new beginning – but from that strange quiet place where you’re still waiting to see what happens next. Maybe you know that place too. This morning I woke up in our little rental, with a…

  • Hey my love – this is the day before silence

    Hey my love, Today was my last day of beautiful family chaos before the quiet week begins. Somehow that makes every tiny moment feel a little louder, a little brighter — like my heart is trying to memorise it all before the volume suddenly drops. This morning was slow and soft. The little ones climbed…

  • What a Week – Glad You’re Here to Share It With Me

    Hey my love, This week has felt like one long, messy, beautiful heartbeat.I thought I’d sit down and tell you about it — the way I would if you were lying next to me, and I was tracing shapes on your hand while I talked. The days have been starting slowly, in the best way.I’ve…

  • Hey my love, this is for you

    Hey my love, I don’t know who you are yet.Maybe you’re reading this in bed, on the couch after a long day, or on your phone somewhere between “I’m fine” and “I really wish someone would ask how I am”. So let me ask:How was your day? Really. I started this blog because I realised…
