The sky is so beautiful. My wisdom tooth is coming in. I'm walking on streets I can't claim as my own. The sky is blue and the clouds are white with tinges of pink and orange. Is this sky the same in Greece? I'm on the phone with my mom speaking in Greek and walking fast, can these people tell where I'm from? I'm from there but I'm here now, what does that mean for me? In class I fiddle with the little spikes coming out of my upper gums, the left side is coming in a lot faster than the right. Am I a late bloomer? I put on a necklace I brought but I look 15 years old and I take it off. The big 2 0 doesn't seem that big. It's crazy that I'm here right now. Speeding past people on the street and they're saying things I don't understand and I can't order in Spanish but I'm forced to try and it works out but the employee speaks English to me.  These streets hold so much history. New York streets hold a lot of history too but damn this shit...

 The mosquitoes are eating me alive out here. SOT (Save Our Toes).  I am in Greece. In Chios. In the village. I can count 9 mosquito bites on my right foot and 8 on my left. And this is FOOT that we're talking about, not even leg. I went and saw a movie outdoors yesterday which is where I think most of these bites are from. Granted I literally do nothing to stop them from biting me (no bug spray I hate smelling like bug spray) so I think I'm asking for it.  I am going to be in Madrid in less than a month. AHHHHHH. that's so crazy. I'm so excited. its gonna be awesome. I just wish the scum of the earth wasn't going to be there but I'll persevere. I just have to cool my anger and think happy happy thoughts.  I've been social anxious recently??? what the fuck is up with that??? I've always made fun of the socially anxious but for the last few months I've been... insecure??? what the fuck???? me?? why??? well I know why but. not for blog. anyways where I...

 Hi hi hi Coming on here to share the short film I just finished editing and uploading! I titled it "Reflections on cutting my hair" and it has been a long time in the making. I initially wrote up the monologue on Feb 9th 2026, then recorded the hair cutting on Feb 22nd, but didn't end up putting the two together until just now. I tweaked the original script and recorded the voice-over on July 6th 2026 and also put it all together that same day.  Thank you to Gus who revealed to me the hidden metaphor within my words that even I was not privy to, you genius you. Miles is the second person who heard the monologue and thank you to him as well for listening despite the inescapable sound of the building's alarm going off.  Thankfully I am free from the clutches of the [redacted] that played a huge role in this short film. I uploaded it to YouTube and hopefully it works on this blog post. If the video below doesn't play here is the link:  https://youtu.be/NyOLBxaSlMM w...

Hi blog I'm getting the urge to share photos on the internet but I wont give Instagram the satisfaction. thus I come here. to my lil blog. here I gooooooo  here is a photo of me with three (3) fireflies in my hand at once. by the end of the summer I bet I could get more. I loveeeee catching fireflies and in Astoria they are so friendly and chill I catch them and they just stay on my hand its awesome. Brooklyn fireflies run, they've seen some shit.  I've been doing a lot of sewing recently. this right here (above) is a friend's bag that USED to have a giant hole. now there are still a few small holes left but there wont be any when I'm done with it. I've been on the lookout for a sewing machine, been looking on fb marketplace. hey, if anyone reading this has any leads on sewing machines please be a doll and let me know.  made many of my famous oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies for miles for that one show. I gave away most of them, I shoulda kept more. maybe I...

Hello to my blog and hello to you readers, as abundant or scarce as you may be... Recently (this past weekend) I meandered up to New Hampshire to visit my good friend Gus. I had a blast and it was so awesome and I went through hell and back on my bus rides to and fro.  I wanted to share some of my photos from this trip but I couldn't get myself to post on instagram about it. The permanence of a regular post was not appealing and the collage of a story post was not meant for these photos. Thus I return to this blog to post about my travels in true travel blog fashion.  Let's go chronologically shall we? I arrived in the evening times and after eating dinner, Gus took me for a walk around the "town." I was freaking out. Genuinely never have I ever been so shocked by my surroundings. Nothing seemed correct. The emptyness and stillness of small town New England is terrifying. And why are there so many American flags? ~~~~~~ The next day I hung out with Gus and his two fri...

Hi blog its 2:08 am and I'm listening to acoustic emo and I have a lot on my mind and I miss typing everything out on my blog.  I don't even know if I'm going to post this. I stopped posting on here for numerous reasons, but primarily because I didn't have enough time for myself in my previous relationship. glad I'm free from that #blessed. Funnily enough I have a draft blog post from July 3rd of last year that I never posted that kinda mentioned this. I could post it posthumously but its a bit weird to have a written receipt of me talking about my ex so positively... on the internet... forever... so I think it will just stay in my drafts. Archival type. another reason I stopped posting was cuz I got disenchanted with the online-ness of it all. why do I need to be posting details about my life just for it all to be scraped by ai and collected by data brokers to be used to try to sell stuff to me? nobody online neeeeeds to know what I'm up to. I have a journal f...

First blog post of 2025. Pip pip. Time and time again I return to this dear blog of mine. I have no obligation to do so for anyone other than myself. I like sharing things about myself, letting whoever reads this know about the details of my life. Of course, these details are only the details I want to share. I have begun hesitating before sharing details of myself to people, a practice called thinking before speaking, something very foreign to me. My awareness of my online presence began at some point within this past year. I have minimized my posts on instagram, removed posts from my tagged, and removed my school from my bio. Nonetheless, I have kept my blog linked in my bio. If anyone really wanted to find out information about me with a quick instagram stalk, they have a readily available resource linked for their convenience. I'm sure I'm in the minority of people who think about their digital presence this much, but once you realize you don't have to share everything ...
