An about me page!!! What??

deco Hello and welcome to this page! I've been looking through other websites and all of them had a super cool and proper "about me" page, so I thought about trying to do the same.
I tried to use another style that I really like. Even when I like super retrofuturistic style, I also LOVE a nice cottagecore style. I'm really into juminocore too, so I thought about playing with different thingies that I found on pinterest. This page is being super fun to make, since it's something different and I'm really enjoying the "let's try this, oh! and this!" thing. Instead of playing or drawing, I ended up spending the day here and I'm really enjoying it.
I'm also planning to draw lots of stuff for this page. Maybe different fake anime ads, a cool banner and a footer that makes you go back to the 2000s (Have I ever said how much I miss those times? ((at least when it comes to the internet and stuff like that)))

Hobbies and interests

I love plants and nature. Since 2020 and THE PANDEMIC TIMES I developed an obsession for indoor plants and tried to have an indoor garden that filled my place with life and colour. I tried to learn about how to not kill my plants and I feel so happy to have so many of them alive to this date. They grow pretty fast sobs. My favorite plant is the Monstera! They can grow so BIG, it's crazy how nature works. My phone gallery is basically filled with plant photos (and my cat).
I also enjoy the marine biology sO MUCH. Like, the whole underwater world is like the outer space but it's below us. The fact that there is still so much to discover down there makes me so curious and scared at the same time. It's really interesting. I could watch documentaries all day. Since I was a kid/teen I developed a special interest in octopi and squids (also jellies, like.. HAVE YOU SEEN THEM?? There are some jellies that are literally inmortal, jesus). Both octopi and squids are so cute and intelligent. Someday I'd love to befriend one.

I also enjoy watching animes and TV, playing videogames, listening to music, reading and, of course, drawing.
I'm an indoor person that rarely goes outside except for work and the days I feel like going out for a walk or to buy stuff. The days I go out for a walk I enjoy taking photos for references or just stuff that I find pretty.

A few of my favorite things

Animal: My cat Arwen and octopi.
Food: Fried eggs with rice, french fries and croquettes. I also love sushi (salmon nigiri the best one).
Drink: Chamomille tea, peach tea, black tea with lemon, orange juice, peach juice and chocolate milk (I mostly drink water tho lol).

I also enjoy reading psychological thrillers like "The face of death" by Cody McFadyen and "The Preacher" by Camilla Lackberg. Very interesting, they keep you reading until you find out everything.
Movie: Top Secret! (1984) and The Naked Gun saga are some of my favorites. I also love Twilight, I'm sorry, can't be helped, but it's such a comfort movie for me.

Feel free to send me recommendations of mangas, animes, books or anything like that. Actually I'd love to read more novels about greek mythology and about (evil) mermaids or sea creatures.
It's a great niche, I swear.
Thank you!!!

Studies

I studied speech therapy at uni, tho I didn't really like it. After finishing it I tried to study psychology at an online uni to try to get a degree, but I kinda ended up chickening at my third year since I got really tired of being studying during all my life, plus exams made me feel SO anxious I couldn't sleep and barely eat (or maybe eat too much) during those times.
I don't regret doing it. I enjoyed learning a lot, but I honestly can't see myself as a psychologist. I'm really really sensitive and there is a 99% possibility that if I see you crying, I'll end up crying too.
Maybe I tried to study psychology when I actually needed to see one? Probably yes. We'll never know.
What really makes me feel regretful is the fact that I never studied anything related to arts until last year/this year (got a master course of Graphic Design). I wish I had started studying that before (or anything related to arts, like illustration or concept design) so I would ""probably"" ended up working in something related too.
I've been drawing since forever, but I started drawing more seriously in 2017. Somehow social media and discord friends was a huge motivation to draw more often. Some people asked me for commissions and I attended my first convention... what a life, I wish I could go back to those times, when social media was still a normal thing. But it's ok, thanks to what sns has become now I created this website, and I'm having so much fun doing it 。°(°.◜ᯅ◝°)°。
