About me

if you want the long version

the longer version ♡

Been a reader since I learned how to read (circa 2008) and never really stopped except if I was really busy (probably read only 1-2 books a year in the last years of high school). I even had my own book blog back in middle school where I posted very impassioned reviews, and LOVED writing about books I hated lol! Since nothing truly gets deleted from the internet it is probably still out there somewhere...

I picked up reading again during Covid (shocker), starting with a reread of some childhood faves (Cassandra Clare OGs iykyk). Been reading semi-regularly since then, and I find comfort in it especially in stressful times. I struggle a lot with anxiety and being able to get totally distracted in reading has allowed me to find comfort even when my mind is too loud to exist in. I decided to try and carve out a space of the internet where I post/write/take pictures of books after a difficult year, and it has given me motivation to lean into the things I love. Since I know that that inner compass never lies, and that doing things I find energy in allows me to show up as my best self in the day-to-days.

Be patient when becoming someone you have not been before.

This blog is where I show up, whether that is tinkering around with website development or gushing about the books or songs I love or uploading precious digitalized versions of film photos. I hope you enjoy looking at it, as much as I enjoy making it.
