Nova

General

I live in the liminal space between night and nebula. Time doesn’t move the same when you’re thinking in lightyears. Obsessed with constellations, cosmic horror, vintage NASA footage, and lo-fi beats from another dimension. Dreaming is my form of travel—space is my destination. Always looking up, always floating just a little bit away.

Music

Echoes in zero gravity. I listen to synths that sound like starlight and vocals wrapped in nebula dust. Favorites include: • M83 – for dreaming in galaxies • Beach House – like floating through the rings of Saturn • Pink Floyd – space rock royalty • Grimes – glitchy transmissions from another planet • Lo-fi beats – for late-night stargazing and drifting beyond Soundtracks from sci-fi films and forgotten space missions are always on repeat.

Movies

I love films that feel like drifting in orbit or falling into a black hole. Favorites include: • Interstellar – time, love, and gravity stretched across dimensions • 2001: A Space Odyssey – pure cosmic awe and eerie silence • Contact – because the stars might be speaking • Arrival – language, memory, and the alien beauty of understanding • Solaris (1972 or 2002) – dreams, ghosts, and galaxies inside your head • Blade Runner 2049 – not space, but still full of stars Anything with slow visuals, deep thoughts, and the infinite unknown.

Television

I watch shows that make me feel like I’m floating—somewhere between stars and stories. Favorites include: • Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey – science wrapped in wonder • Doctor Who – time travel, starscapes, and strange beauty • The Expanse – gritty space politics and the vast unknown • Stranger Things – not outer space, but definitely otherworldly • Dark – time loops, alternate worlds, and existential dread • Star Trek: The Next Generation – exploring humanity through the stars • Midnight Gospel – psychedelic space philosophy I like my fiction cosmic, thought-provoking, and a little strange.

Books

I read to escape gravity. My shelves are filled with black holes, distant stars, and questions about existence. Favorites include: • The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry – a gentle journey through stars and loneliness • Contact by Carl Sagan – faith and science intertwined across the cosmos • Dune by Frank Herbert – desert planets and destiny in the stars • The Space Between Worlds by Micaiah Johnson – multiverse travel and identity • Cosmos by Carl Sagan – science written like poetry • An Absolutely Remarkable Thing by Hank Green – aliens, internet fame, and the unknown • The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin – ice planets and androgynous aliens, wrapped in philosophy I like books that ask big questions—especially the ones we can only ask when looking up.

Heroes

People who navigate the stars with courage, curiosity, and heart. I look up to those who push the boundaries of what we know—and what we can dream. • Carl Sagan – for showing us the beauty of the universe and our tiny place in it • Mae Jemison – the first African American woman in space, who dared to dream beyond Earth • Neil Armstrong – for taking that giant leap for mankind and leaving footprints on the moon • Yoko Ono – her art is cosmic, her messages are universal • David Bowie – his music turned space into something we could touch and feel • Sally Ride – a true pioneer, sending a message to the stars • Arthur C. Clarke – his visionary ideas brought space closer to our hearts My heroes are those who reach for the unknown, no matter how far it takes them.
