about me

my name is laurie, 18, orthodox ☦︎

a stay at home daughter with a small town heart ♡ raised on back roads and sugar sweet little lies. i believe devotion can live in the most ordinary moments- in quiet mornings, in baking bread, in the comfort of worn books and soft fabrics. i’ve always been drawn to what can be held and preserved- vinyls, letters, magazines - objects that carry memory and presence. i love ceramics, ballet, knitting, gardening, fashion, baking, and time spent in nature

a love letter to girlhood and faith ♡

these were my absolute favourites ♡♡ i’d so love to have necklaces or chokers like these. the fourth one in the first collage,, i actually saved it on pinterest when i was 14 ^.^

i loved these six necklaces ♡ i could have added more but i think these are quite enough already ^.^ i so love “regular” fancy necklaces as well ^.^

the thing is, u don’t need to always have something important to say. it comes quite naturally when the feeling is there ♡ some months i feel full of inspiration, and at other times my mind seems quite empty, and i think that’s perfectly normal. we’re always discovering things about ourselves, and i believe that’s part of the joy. truly, just begin ♡ u may post whatever u like. i share images i love, music videos, song lyrics, little moodboards, gifs, small diary notes- whether they’re long or only a few lines, and passing thoughts. anything at all !! ♡ tumblr is rather like a visual diary, and it’s wonderful for that. ur gentle thoughts and quiet days are quite enough ♡ someone, somewhere, may find comfort in them, even if, at first, that someone is only u

it’s all rather low pressure where engagement is concerned, so do try not to worry too much about notes at the beginning. finding mutuals truly makes the experience so much lovelier but it comes little by little ♡ spend time with blogs u enjoy, join a few communities, and those connections will find their way quite naturally.. ♡ even after some time, inspiration still comes and goes but the experience is absolutely worth it. u have so many lovely things ahead to share, and i’m genuinely excited for u ♡ congratulations on ur new blog by the way!!

and to answer ur second question, i do tend to become friends w people around my own age or a little older. it’s always been that way. one of my friends, who’s actually the oldest friend i have and recently turned 23, i met when i was 14 and he was 18. i won’t go into the story very much, but i promise it’s been very appropriate and respectful from the very beginning. i know my boundaries. some of my closest friends have been about a 1.5 to 2.5 years older than i am, and so on. but i don’t rly mind having younger friends either, especially when we genuinely get along ^.^ i never really had younger friends until i was about 16 though. i’ve learned that u can learn such a great deal from people who are younger than u, and it’s also very sweet to be able to help someone who’s perhaps had a little less time to learn or experience certain things. it’s lovely watching them slowly grow into wiser n kinder people ♡

lovenotes plush vanilla and moonlight are lovely too. i always seem to reach for them whenever i want something sweet and cosy ♡ the vanilla ones especially make me feel as though i’m wrapped in a warm, powdery hug. i could talk about ari’s perfumes for hours, honestly. they’ve become such a little comfort to me ♡

i think my favourite song might be tattooed heart. it’s just so tender and sweet ♡ i absolutely adore honeymoon avenue as well, that nostalgic feeling of driving at night always gets me. tbh it’s terribly difficult to choose because i love almost every song on those albums. i’m really looking forward to the new album. i love the atmosphere of it already, and i hate that i made u love me is so so lovely. what about u ? i’d really love to hear ur favourites ^^ ♡
