General

People-watching, mood boards, late-night drives, rainy weather, coffee that’s basically dessert, deleting and redownloading apps, and overanalyzing song lyrics like it's my job. I romanticize life, collect cute notebooks I never write in, and thrive on soft blankets and cozy playlists.

Music

A bit of everything—Billie Eilish's haunting vibes, mixed with Nirvana's grunge and Spice Girls' pop energy. I’m into Lana Del Rey’s cinematic sadness, but also love the upbeat feels of Britney Spears and *NSYNC. Throw in some Weekend, Frank Ocean, and The Cure for when I’m feeling nostalgic. Indie pop, alt-rock, R&B—if it has soul, I’m into it. I vibe with artists like Mitski, Travis Scott, and Halsey, and sometimes I find myself drifting into random 90s classics like TLC and Backstreet Boys for that extra pop nostalgia. Basically, if it’s catchy or emotional, I’m all in.

Movies

Romantic comedies and superhero flicks. Think 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, and The Wedding Singer mixed with The Avengers, Spider-Man, and Guardians of the Galaxy. I live for cheesy romcom moments and that warm, fuzzy feeling of a happy ending.

Television

Books

Dark romance, spicy fantasy, and morally gray characters. Smut with substance, books that leave me questioning life and staring at the ceiling afterward. I also love poetry that breaks my heart but makes me feel understood.

Heroes

Honest souls who are real even when it’s messy. Writers who make you feel seen. The friend who sends memes at just the right moment, and the people who live unapologetically, flaws and all.
