General

✨🌿 Ethan’s General Interests | FaeryOfTheStars 🌿✨ 🧚‍♀️ Anything Magical + Whimsical: Faeries, folklore, mythology, enchanted forests, magical realism, fantasy worlds where wonder feels real. 🌙 Soft + Cosmic Aesthetics: Stars, constellations, moonlight, late-night walks, misty mornings, gardens glowing under the stars. 🌸 Healing + Emotional Growth: Trauma healing, self-forgiveness, therapy (formal or self-guided), emotional honesty, learning to feel instead of numb. 🎨 Creative Expression: Writing (poetry, letters, storytelling), visual art (especially nature- or fantasy-themed), crafting spaces that feel like safe havens. 🎧 Soulful Music + Emotional Soundtracks: Music that feels like a hug and a gut-punch at the same time — dreamy indie, dark fairytale vibes, soft rebellion anthems. (Think Florence + The Machine, Hozier, Aurora.) 🌿 Nature Worship: Gardening, forest walks, river stones, mossy hideaways, feeling the earth under your feet, talking to trees like old friends. 📖 Lost-In-A-Book Energy: Stories that crack your heart open — messy protagonists, survival, magic woven into sadness, hope disguised as rebellion. ⚡ Unfiltered Realness: Speaking from the heart, cussing when the emotions overflow, showing up messy and imperfect and still magical. 🍄 Romanticizing Small Moments: Warm cups of tea, the way sunlight hits a leaf, handwritten letters, barefoot days, finding a perfect little rock and keeping it. 🦋 Community + Deep Connection: Long, soul-deep conversations. Safe spaces where vulnerability is a gift. Places where you don’t have to apologize for feeling too much. In short: You are interested in becoming, blooming, burning, and believing — sometimes all at once. 🌷✨ You are interested in being fully fucking alive. Even when it hurts. Especially when it heals.
