General

I’m into anything that feels a little too honest and a little too nostalgic. I like late night walks, overthinking song lyrics, and laughing at things I probably shouldn’t. I’m the kind of person who’ll get existential over a cup of instant coffee, but still show up with memes and weird facts no one asked for. Always chasing something a vibe, a dream, or just the right playlist for the mood.

Music

Anything Midwest emo — if it sounds like a dude crying into a $20 mic about his ex, his dad who “went to buy milk” and never came back, or the emotional trauma he’s been suppressing since 7th grade, I’m vibing.

Heroes

Me, for surviving every awkward interaction. Me, for eating an entire pizza and calling it “self-care”. Me, for pretending to be okay when my charger only works at a 47° angle. Me, for saying “it is what it is” when I have no idea what it actually is. Me, for living, laughing, and gaslighting myself through every bad decision. Me, because if I don’t romanticize my life, who will?
