hold on to the dreams

Hello all!

♡ Happy New Year & happy 1st birthday to my blog! ♡

In honour of the new year and my first full year blogging, here's a little list of memorable things this year:

- I moved back to my hometown (6th move in 16 years nbd)
- I made new friends & was reunited with old friends
- I discovered old & new artists (ex: Swim Deep thanks to Victory)
- I drew & wrote a lot more
- I sang alone for the first time at a recital (terrifying/awesome??)
- thanks to your blogs/my friends/my blog, I developed my style & became bolder (ex: chunky heels like Hannah or patterns like Ellie)
- I learnt more about film & visual art
- I discovered the diy garage music scene in LA (aka heard of diy garage for the first time ever hehe)
- I died on stage (I played Beth in Little Women)
- I discovered the music/art scene in my hometown (it was hard to find but once i found one local band it was like a gold mine)
- I went to zine readings
- I made & traded my own zine (also terrifying/awesome)
- My friends & I auditioned AND got into our school's talent show
- I attended an entire music festival (for the first time)
- I felt like I was part of a community through blogging, concerts, zine-offs/readings
- I got my license (aka permit)
- I went to a solstice party (post on this soon!)

And also thanks for just being your stylish and artistic selves and for going on adventures that I can read about because you've all inspired me so much this year.
So all in all, happy New Year & thanks for sticking around or even stopping by!
