General

There’s a part of me forever rooted in winter drawn to its quiet, its stillness, the way the world slows down beneath the weight of snow. I’ve always found comfort in melancholia, not as sadness, but as a kind of soft, reflective ache. It sharpens the beauty of simple things: a pale sky, a single breath, the hush of cold air. I live in that in-between, where the heart listens more than it speaks

Music

When it comes to music, I’m drawn to Lana Del Rey like no other artist I’ve ever witnessed—there’s something in her melancholy glamour, her cinematic sadness, that speaks straight to the soul. Beyond her, I’m a fan of Hole’s raw edge, Deftones’ dreamy heaviness, Fiona Apple’s haunting genius, and so much more. My taste drifts between shadows and light, always searching for the beautiful ache in a song

Movies

Black Swan has always felt like more than just a film to me—it’s a mirror. Its delicate tension between grace and turmoil, the relentless pursuit of perfection, the quiet battles beneath the surface that’s a reflection of my own journey

Television

When it comes to television, I drift toward the beautiful mess. Riverdale, Gossip Girl, Desperate Housewives, Gilmore Girls. Stories laced with secrets, wit, and the kind of drama that lingers like perfume in a quiet room

Books

Books are a quiet refuge for me. Poetry is one of my first loves, carefully chosen words, stitched with feeling, the kind that lingers long after the page is turned. But I’m just as drawn to the dark corners of the shelf. I like horror too—the eerie, the unsettling, the slow-burning dread that crawls beneath the skin. There’s beauty in both the light and the shadow
