Hey you! 💛
It feels surreal to be typing up a blog post again. If you’ve been following me on social media, you already know I haven’t exactly disappeared. I’ve still been active on TikTok and Instagram, sharing quotes, relatable moments, little joys, and the occasional haul or aesthetic post. But something’s been missing — and that something is this. Writing.
Blogging has always been a space where I can slow down and reflect, not just scroll and post. It’s where I can truly be myself, share stories behind the scenes, go deeper than a 60-second video, and connect with you in a way that feels more personal. And after taking a break (or… maybe a detour?), I’ve realized just how much I’ve missed it.
So, here we are — back at it.
And since I’ve grown and changed a little (okay, a lot) since the last time I was consistently blogging, I figured a reintroduction was in order. Whether you’ve been following me for years or just recently stumbled upon this corner of the internet, here are 10 fun, personal, and maybe a little random facts about me to kick things off!
10 Facts about me
1. I have way too many hobbies
Well, maybe the real problem is that I just don’t have enough time for all of them. I love watching Netflix to relax, reading lots of books, and I recently bought some cute coloring books. I also have a ukulele that I still need to learn how to play. Other things I enjoy include scrolling through Pinterest and giving myself spa treatments at home (clay masks, doing my nails, etc.). And of course, I’ve decided to add another hobby to my already very long list. My birthday is at the end of May, and I thought it would be a great idea to ask for money so I can buy the Nintendo Switch 2. I really want to play Mario and Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
2. I mostly watch and read romance
Honestly, 99% of the content I consume is romance—books, shows, and movies. I just love the happy vibes it gives me. There’s something so comforting and heartwarming about watching or reading people fall in love. It makes me genuinely happy.
3. Trying lots of new things
I stayed in my comfort zone for such a long time, and for a while, I was okay with that. But now I’m craving new experiences. I’ve been trying new recipes and foods, attending events by myself, and more—and surprisingly, I’m actually enjoying it. Sure, I might discover that I don’t like certain things, but at least I can say I tried.
4. I have a creative mind
Yes, I have way too many thoughts during the day, but some of them are actually fun! I create random stories in my head (I really need to start writing them down—maybe on Wattpad?). I also make up silly songs while doing things around the house. If you’ve ever watched New Girl, you’ll know how Jess (Zooey Deschanel) does that—yeah, I do the same. My mind is always coming up with something new, whether it’s a goofy song, a story idea, or content for my blog and socials.
5. I want to learn new languages
Again, time is the issue. I know I can’t become fluent overnight, but I’d love to improve my French and German, and also learn Spanish and Italian. I try to use Duolingo every day—it’s tough to remember, but somehow I’ve managed to keep a 814-day streak (as of May 1st)!
6. I love many things about Italy
Even though I’ve never been to Italy (hopefully soon!), I already love so much about it. First of all: the food. I could probably live on Italian food for a year and be totally fine. I also love the language (which is why I want to learn it). Italian music sounds absolutely beautiful, even if I have no idea what they’re singing about.
7. I have a very strict sleep routine
I’ve dealt with sleep issues for years. There was a time when I barely slept for months—it seriously affected my mental health. I had a few meltdowns, usually late at night. But now I finally have a routine that kind of works. I avoid screens after 8:30 PM (except for my e-reader), go to bed at the same time every night, and try not to overthink. After 8 PM, I start winding down with journaling, writing a to-do list for the next day, and doing some self-care. Then I read in bed. I also sometimes take magnesium supplements to help me sleep deeper.
8. I had a small role in a music video
Okay, the band doesn’t exist anymore, but it was such a cool experience! Yes, there was a lot of waiting around between takes, and we had to do multiple retakes. It was a super long day—I started in the morning and didn’t get home until after midnight. But I had so much fun and would definitely do it again. I’ve been thinking about getting into that kind of thing again, even if it’s just as an extra.
9. I can be a little bit old school
I bought a CD player last year and honestly, I love listening to my CDs. Sometimes I like to go offline for a day or two—which means no Spotify, no scrolling. I have a Galaxy S24, but I mostly use it to create content. That’s why I sometimes reply to texts late. I’m working on having a healthier relationship with my phone, so I check messages only about 3–4 times a day.
10. The perfect day
My perfect day would look something like this: I wake up between 7 and 8 AM, walk to the supermarket to grab some delicious bakery treats (and get a bit of exercise), then come home and read a cute romance novel in the garden while doing some self-care (face mask, painting my nails). In the early afternoon, I’d go out and do something fun—maybe visit a thrift store, a bookshop, or just go shopping. Later, I’d head home, eat something Italian for dinner, and watch an episode of whatever show I’m currently into. I’d end the night with a little snack (cheese or chocolate, depending on my mood), turn off all screens after 8 PM, and read before bed.
