“you really have to love words if you’re going to be a writer, because as a writer, you certainly spend a lot of time with words."

my name is coleen. 2003. i admire the sky, poetry and reading with the entirety of my heart. i live for taking photographs to capture memories forever and to look back with happiness. classical novels hold my heart, especially jane austen, as does listening to music. i'm studying to be a teacher and i love learning new things everyday, even if they are little facts.

hobbies : writing, reading, watching sunsets, listening to music, taking photographs, staying organized, watching films, movie reviews.

misc : finding new books to read, book stores, the moon, clean linens, studio ghibli, hanging out with friends, poetry, sweet tea, the ocean.

media : your lie in april, kiki's delivery service, violet evergarden, the summer i turned pretty, bambi, guillermo del toro's pinocchio, bridgerton, a walk to remember.

gratitude practice and expression may benefit our mind, body, and soul. having a grateful mindset boosts wellness, fosters empathy, and promotes an upbeat approach on life.
