Hi, I’m eighteen, and I dream of becoming a graphic designer. I live in a bustling city, but I love escaping the hustle and bustle to cozy coffee shops with a book or a sketchbook. At my age, I’ve already realized that what matters most is having a support system that encourages your boldest ideas. Right now, I’m actively preparing for college admissions while also running my own little blog about inspiration and art. I believe that many amazing journeys and new encounters await me, ones that will completely change my life. Long evening walks while listening to my favorite podcasts or indie pop. Experimenting with watercolors when it’s pouring rain outside. Spontaneous trips out of town by train with a thermos of tea. The aesthetic of old film cameras and vintage items. Hypocrisy, toxicity, and people who love to judge others. Waking up early on the weekends for no particular reason. When the internet goes down at the worst possible moment. Loud music coming from other people’s headphones on public transportation.
