1. when i was a kid, i went through a huge polar bear phase. they were my favorite animal for years, and i have no idea why! maybe cause my birthday is in december? anyways, i had a whole shelf dedicated to polar bear paraphernalia, and for every holiday, i would get a polar bear stuffed animal. sadly i gave a lot of them away, but i still have 5 or so children's books about them :•)

2. i was in my high school marching band, but i didn't even march! the instruments i played (xylophone and marimba) were too heavy to carry, so i was part of the "pit". i wasn't very good at it but i love music and i made a lot of friends for the first time ever really! even though it was a tough time for me, i try to look back with fondness.

3. i love studio ghibli with my entire heart. i've watched almost all of their movies, and i've yet to find a place that feels more like home. i was never a huge movie person until i watched my neighbor totoro. and still, i have a hard time committing to watching something long unless it's made by studio ghibli :-) if i could have a discussion with anybody famous, i would definitely pick hayao miyazaki! and i dream of visiting the ghibli museum someday and watching one of the exclusive films there!

4. writing poetry is the only hobby that i've felt i'm semi-good at for the past few years. i would describe my relationship with poetry as.... extremely turmoil. i don't write regularly, and i'm often filled with disappointment whenever i try. however, i feel like i desperately need it in order to make sense of myself and the world. my absolute dream would be to release poetry collections, and i hope i'll be able to at least self publish one someday. :-)

5. i am a middle child! significantly less unique than my other facts, but i think it contributes a lot to the way i interact with the world. i also think it's one of the reasons i struggle with creating an individual identity. i've always felt like i never measured up compared to my siblings, but i'm starting to learn that having less aspirations isn't actually a bad thing. (i have an older sister and younger brother for anyone wondering!!)

Bi Dimentio!
