• (summer 25')performing in a handwritten yttd skit in front of a SHIT TON of people at a convention and hearing people be affected emotionally by our performance after spending the entire summer struggling to make my cosplay, plan, practice, and put together elements of the skit with my friends. it was so exciting and i miss it so much- i yearn to be in that moment again!
• (fall 22') meeting my best friend. i was so so incredibly lonely and incredibly socially anxious for a long time before this part of my life, and i was worried making friends in a new place might be hard. i didnt know how to have a friend! but i didnt need to know when i met them. we instantly clicked and i had no trouble talking to her whatsoever. i have never enjoyed a person i JUST MET so much. we were made for each other n im so glad we got to meet!
• (fall 22'- spring 26') getting to spend so much of my time at school with my closest friends. we grew so much together and i really feel like we became a family... they are MY PEOPLE. i dont know if i will ever have a group relationship as special as my high school art class. we made so many amazing memories together in and out of that class and i would do anything to have that group of people by my side still today... i love u guysssss :((
• (spring 23') being in mamma mia!! ohmygosh this was so special. in middle school i DREAMED of being in mamma mia- i am a super shy and timid person and have never done theatre, but i told myself if my high school did mamma mia i HAD to audition... and it happened! it was my first time being part of a community/team working together to make something. and oh my god the main cast was so incredibly talented- those performances are my magnum opus, they were SO GOOD, our set was so good, the pit was so good, every freaking little thing about this production was amazing. tech week for mamma mia was stressful but it is now one of my best memories. i made so many meaningful connections and had such an insane amount of fun. this really sparked my love for making things WITH people! i wish i could be part of a production like this again, but i dont think anything can live up to it. i love u [insert school name] mamma mia 2023. !!
• (winter-summer 22') my (peak)codependent online friendship era. i had no friends at this point in my life and i was SO LONELY... i'd spend a lot of time on omori sandbox where i would occasionally talk to people- but usually i would ghost them- until i met a super special person who said "don't do that to me" so i didnt! we roleplayed on omori sandbox or royale high every. single. day. as soon as we were both available we would spend every second of our free time together on roblox doing the most absurd, silly, stupid stuff. these roleplays brought me so much joy and so many smiles. honestly might still be one of the most fun activities i have done with friends. we had such a special bond that really helped me get through a super hard time of my life- it brought me joy when nothing else did! it's an experience that i don't think i will ever be able to replicate
• every time i have seen live music ever
• (fall 21' (?) - fall 25')when i would babysit a little guy every other week. i did this for 3-4 years and i really got to see him grow into his own little person. he is SO CUTE and he has been through so many different little personality fluctuations, and being able to see how his experiences mould him is SO COOL. his little interests, people's behavior, etc etc grew him into WHO HE IS and im so glad i got to be a part of that. :)
• (summer 25') my time working as an intern at an arts center summer program (as a TA basically)!! i got to meet so many kids and see them create such cool things. how kids interact with art really showcases so much about who they are! no matter what age/how much experience you have, your soul will be in your creations!! i made so many special bonds with my students and their sweetness kills me. i got to guide their creations and help them improve, resulting in the most special and beautiful creations!! creativity is so beautiful
• (summer 26') working at a daycare!! i lowkey have struggled a lot at this job because of the combo of my bosses being kind of frustrating people + my social anxiety... HOWEVER the kids make it so worth the struggle and rewarding. i freaking love my kids at my daycare ohmygosh. i love making them smile and laugh SO MUCH. they are just SO INCREDIBLY SWEET and i love seeing their curious little brains working/learning about the things around them! working with kids this little is like seeing a stop motion video of their brain developing and i adore it, it's so interesting and special. i am really excited to go back to working there during my winter break!

in progress!!!!!!
