I'm just a person who aims to enjoy her life and have fun, spending time doing things that are meaningful to me, and help those I love.

reading, writing, going to concerts, drinking too much tea, making my own bracelets and other things, cooking, hiking, enjoying nature, drinking wine less often than I used to, walking, qigong or yoga sometimes (not as often as I should), coming up with new nicknames for my cat, staring off into space in a daydream haze...
