book: letters to a young poet

• this may seem to be an odd pick coming from someone who seldom writes poetry, but i believe rilke's philosophy can be broadly applied to any creative or person in general. rilke is possibly my favorite poet & i find myself returning to these letters in times of turbulence

book series: the raven cycle

• this series made urban fantasy my guilty pleasure. maggie stiefvater's style of prose and characters are so near and dear to my heart.
• what do you want, adam? to feel awake when my eyes are open.

game: project sekai

• nowadays, i rarely open the game, but i still keep up with the niigo stories. ena shinonome touched my heart over 4 years ago and she is forever my kami-oshi

misc:

• dan and phil! i'm a 2019 phannie and the hard launch has only reinvigorated my love for them.
