Hellooo! * ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚* ੈ✩‧₊˚ Thanks for stopping by :3 This is a unique time in that, i just finished art therapy and counseling school, my phone is broken and I am unemployed, so I have newfound time and motivation in assembling this digital space, haha. I love that there are so many things to explore, learn, and enjoy in this lifetime. My goal is to get better at savoring these things and the little things in general. So here are some of my random interests and things that bring me joy, and a little bit about my story.

If you're curious about my story, I was born and raised in Chicago, and I have a sister, who I am so grateful to also have as my best friend. My mother was from South Africa and emmigrated to the States in her teens. She passed away from liver cancer when I was about 12. She was artistic, patient, loved cats, and had a great sense of humor. I'm happy her interests and passions got passed down to both me and my sister. This experience fossilized in me beliefs in reincarnation, an innate interconnectedness and limitlessness between all things, and an appreciation for softness and being in the heart. Somewhere along the way I developed passions for ecology and being in nature (part of this must have come from my obsession with watching the Crocodile Hunter and anything Animal Planet/Discover Channel-related as a child, haha), gardening, macro and micro healing, healing modalities, community and interdependence, mutual aid/grassroots/anarcho-socialism, art and novelty, and where these all intersect.

As far as personality traits go, I am a little shy yet adventurous, playful, sweet, avoidant, anxious, creative, sensitive, open-minded, flexible, and analytical.
