about

 hi, i’m rose, the girl i’ve always been, just a little more self-aware and a lot more caffeinated.

i’m an adult sagittarius born in december, an american introvert with activist energy simmering under the surface. i live somewhere between hufflepuff softness and dystopian grit, colorblind vision and sharp intuition, hard-of-hearing but always listening. i’m a history girl, a psychology student, a dark-academia-obsessed overthinker who loves the weeknd a little too loudly for someone who claims to be quiet.

i love what i love, and i don’t apologize for it. ikea runs that feel like therapy. vintage clothes with stories stitched into the seams, jewelry that feels like protection, hope-core videos at 2am, high-waisted jeans and red lipliner. self care as survival, wellness as rebellion, vinyls spinning in dim rooms, space documentaries, caffeine as personality, french acrylics. rain sounds. astrology. and yes — stephen king, because nightmares are more fun when you choose them.

i carry an aux that never misses: taylor swift, olivia rodrigo, lady gaga, lorde, lana del rey, gracie abrams, sabrina carpenter, tate mcrae, the 1975, sombr, billie eilish, arctic monkeys, cigarettes after sex, the neighbourhood, hozier, noah kahan, charli xcx, chase atlantic, phoebe bridgers, fleetwood mac… and more depending on the mood and the moon.

and dear reader, my bookshelf is basically a personality test: harry potter, a good girl’s guide to murder, the hunger games, the housemaid, do not disturb, the surrogate mother, the maze runner, divergent, one of us is lying, shatter me, the caraval trilogy. i live for morally gray characters, plot twists, and that feeling when a story punches you right in the soul.

this blog is my little corner of the internet — a place for thoughts, obsessions, soft moments, deep dives, and whatever version of me crawls out of bed each day. stay awhile if you want. i’m glad you’re here.
