Besides family and friends, everyone has little things that can make life feel more exciting, and for me, it starts with these few.
Travelling
For one, travelling is one of my favourite things because it snaps me out of my usual routine. Places that are so close together can be so different. I love exploring and finding the differences in culture and style around the world. Travelling also creates a sense of open-mindedness, experiencing separate cultures has made me want to explore and live in other parts of the world.
Music
Without music, I don’t know where I would be. Sometimes, it can be necessary to drown out all the noise around and just listen to something else besides the voices around you. Depending on my mood, I usually listen to certain genres like Rap, R&B, Pop or House music. My favourite artists, who I will always listen to, are Doja Cat, Travis Scott, Charli XCX, or Blood Orange.
Griffith Park
I’m not usually someone who loves being outdoors after it becomes dark, but Griffith Park is my exception. Standing on the hill and looking out over the city always gives me this weird mix of nostalgia and excitement, it feels like the whole world around me goes so quiet. Seeing all the lights makes me realise just how many people are out there, and how we are all living our own lives and going through our own experiences at the same time.
Fashion
Fashion is one of the biggest ways I express myself. When I go out, my outfit almost always reflects my mood. I get a lot of inspiration from both my in-person and online friends. Recently, my friend Sam got this scarf, and every time he sends me a photo of him wearing it, and how he styled it, it’s like a mini fashion show. He puts pieces together so perfectly, and it always inspires me to keep on elevating my own style.
