get to know the girl behind the blog 💕
miriam
hi! i'm miriam, a chaotic creative person trying to figure out life one day at a time. i love books, cooking, spending way too much time on the internet, and collecting soft aesthetic things. this website is my safe space to share all the messy, unfiltered parts of myself.
fun facts about me:
- i have read approximately 847 books (mostly romance and fantasy)
- my music taste ranges from hyperpop to lo-fi and absolutely nothing in between
- i am very good at starting projects and mediocre at finishing them
- late night is when my brain is most creative (and unhinged)
- i believe every meal can be improved with more butter
- i collect things (stickers, vintage blog buttons, bookmarks, chaos)
- my handwriting looks like a bird wrote it while having an existential crisis
- i think lowercase writing is more aesthetically pleasing
- i have very strong opinions about which books should be adapted to film
- i live for the chaos of early 2000s internet culture
interests & obsessions
📚 books
i am a voracious reader with a completely unorganized reading list. i love fantasy, romance, contemporary fiction, and anything with complex characters. my tbr pile is out of control and my apartment is basically a library at this point. if you want book recommendations, i have approximately 10,000.
🍳 cooking & food
i love cooking (mostly baking, let's be honest) and i'm always trying new recipes or making up my own. my kitchen is my happy place. i believe in using real butter, not worrying about portion control, and that baking is just chemistry with sugar.
🎨 aesthetics & design
i'm obsessed with soft colors, vintage internet design, scrapbook aesthetics, and anything that feels personal and handmade. i love the chaotic energy of early 2000s web design and i'm trying to bring that back while making it feel authentic and intentional.
💭 writing & introspection
i love writing. journal entries, blog posts, random thoughts at 3am, character studies... writing is how i process my emotions and make sense of the world. this website is basically an extension of my journal, just less private.
🎵 music
my music taste is chaotic. one moment i'm listening to hyperpop, the next it's lo-fi beats, then somehow i'm listening to 80s new wave. if it has good vibes and makes me feel something, i'm here for it.
what matters to me
- authenticity - being real and unfiltered, even when it's messy
- creativity - expressing myself through writing, design, and making things
- community - finding my people and building genuine connections
- growth - continuously learning and getting better at things
- kindness - treating people (and myself) with compassion
- beauty - appreciating the small pretty things in life
- honesty - with others and especially with myself
