Hi! welcome to my blog✨

A little bit about me:

- I am a black girl living/traveling/studying in China

- I love fashion, nature, 3D design, yoga, and cooking

- I hope to inspire other black girls to do what makes them feel fulfilled

This blog does have an emphasis on self-improvement but I’m a multidimensional girl so I’m gonna post what I want and I hope you enjoy ;)

Not everyone you love is meant to stay long enough to fulfill the plans you make with them. Some people are there to awaken parts of you. To show you what you’re capable of feeling. To expand your standards. To mirror your readiness.

u know what makes me cry..... that one van gogh quote about life changing for the better..... “many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. and it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘what do i care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ yes, evil often seems to surpass good. but then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. one morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. and so i must still have hope.” yeah..... Crying....

Everything I touch turns into gold. Whether it's my coursework, my Youtube channel, my friendships, my finances, etc. If it has anything to do with me, it's perfection.

Tumblr is such a safe space for me, real life feels crazy rn

My father always told me: "If you want to go for a run, go for a run, don't look for company. Sooner or later, on your fifth run or your twentieth, like-minded people will find you themselves." And only recently have I realized that this principle works everywhere.

It's okay to explore something that you're not certain of that you'll enjoy. It's okay to try out a different clothing style, hairstyle, different interests, you name it. How can you ever know if it's not for you, if you never give yourself the chance to try it out.
