PhD student researching early modern paratextuality. Professional translator and proofreader. Prone to daydream about Ancient Greece, the Renaissance, and the Romantics. I name my plants after poets and fictional characters, and someday I will publish my novel (I have to finish it for that, right?).

Honestly? Shoutout to those of you who are completely fucking lost in life. Those who don’t know what they want to do with life. Those who are stuck in a certain part of life and can’t get out. Those who are reaching for dreams they feel are impossible to reach. Those who feel like they’re accomplishments are being overlooked. Those who feel like their enough just isn’t enough. It is. You can make it. You will make it. There is an opening at the end of the tunnel.

I'm thankful for languages to make me understand literature and poems. I'm thankful for the languages that is engraved in me and the one I'm trying to learn from past seven months. I believe to read and cry over pages is more than literate. Sometimes I wonder how beautiful it is to comprehend all languages in the world.
