Loud Minds And Gentle Hearts
Welcome to my digital sanctuary—a little world of mood boosters, room glow-ups, crafts, comfy finds, quick feel-good tips, and tiny joys. Whether you’re here to scroll, smile, shop, or share, I’m so happy our paths crossed.
How This Blog Began
I’ve always been the quiet one in the room—the listener, the observer. Starting conversations? Not really my thing. But inside? My mind is always bursting with ideas, thoughts, curiosities (thank you, ADHD & ENTP soul)
I once ran a Shopify store, where I curated cute and helpful little items. But something was missing—space for me to speak freely. I longed to write, share, ramble, create. Shopify felt like a storefront, not a journal. So I moved everything here, to WordPress, where my blog and shop could bloom together, with space for stories, reflections, messy thoughts, and dreamy media.
About Me
Hi! I’m 23, and I’ve lived alone abroad since I was 14. As an international student, I’ve worn many identities. Being Asian in a Western world means I’ve often been misunderstood—not always in a bad way, but enough to feel a little apart sometimes.
I’ve also always loved books, toys, soft aesthetics—anything cute and childlike. And for a while, I was told that made me immature or silly. But here’s what I’ve come to believe: hiding the things that bring us joy is far more childish than embracing them. Being real is grown-up. So here I am—still loving plushies and silly things, while writing blog posts about life, healing, and all the not-so-soft stuff, too.
Love, Growth & Support
If I’ve grown into someone I’m proud of today, it’s because of the people who’ve held space for me to do so. And above all—thank you, Nik.
Nik is my boyfriend, my biggest cheerleader, and a true rock. He works in the fitness industry, and he’s shown me what it means to love with strength and softness at the same time. He’s supported me through every high and low—every mental disaster, creative spiral, body image struggle, and late-night ramble. He doesn’t just accept me—he encourages me to be more me. I’m endlessly grateful for that kind of love.
To every friend, mentor, barista, stranger, and soul who’s crossed paths with me—you’ve shaped this story, too.
A Soft Space for the Stormy Days
The 21st century is no joke. Between pandemics, job rejections, academic pressure, and the perfection race on social media, life is heavy. I’ve been there.
After struggling with body shame and eating disorders, anxiety, and the grief of unmet expectations, I realized something: everyone needs a soft corner. A place to curl into when the world feels too sharp.
This website is my way of offering that—a cozy space to heal, grow quietly, find joy in small things, and just… breathe.
If you’ve ever felt lost, isolated, overwhelmed—or just want a cute wallpaper and a tea recommendation—I made this place for you.
Let’s Grow Gently
WAITING YOU TO SAY HI!
I’m still figuring it all out, just like you. But I believe in learning out loud, loving boldly, and finding beauty in everyday life. This blog is an open diary, a little shop, and a growing community. I hope you find something here that makes you feel understood, inspired, or even just comforted.
“To be soft in a hard world is not weakness. It’s courage.”
Thanks for being here. Stay a while, say hi, and feel free to share anything with me. My inbox—and heart—is open.
