Let’s start with my ukulele. My cousin gave it to me before we went to the US. I always borrowed her sister’s ukulele, and I would record a lot of covers with it. She told me that I should keep recording and playing when I got here. Until one day, days before our flight, she came to our house and gave me a big box. This lil’ ukulele was inside it! I kept saying “Are you for real?!” cause I just couldn’t believe it!
On the top middle is my travel journal. This is a really good find. My aunt bought it for me at Goodwill for $2! I didn’t know what to do with it. I decided to make it a travel journal when I went to California and New York last summer. That little drawing in there shows what I see when I wake up in the morning at my aunt’s apartment in Daly City. Still not finished with the whole journal though. I’m still working on it!
Below that is my Brandy Melville denim jacket! It’s my absolute favorite. As soon as I saw it I told myself that I’m definitely going to get it. Even after I saw how much it was.
On the right are my laptop, phone charger and eyeglasses. My laptop is basically where all the magic happens. I do all my photo and video editing in there. My dad bought it for me, but I paid like less than half of it with the money I earned from selling phone cases. Then there’s my glasses. I just want to say it’s really pretty and it helps me see this beautiful world, lol, but look at my phone charger! It’s so cute! I wrapped my bee washi tape around it!
Lastly, there’s my white embroidered cap. I got it from Ross. I swear to God when I saw it there was light coming down from heaven and I could hear the angels singing. It is such a good find, and it’s cheap! I decided to put it in this picture because I know I’m gonna have a hell lot of adventures with this lil’ guy.

I put 'Confess' by Colleen Hoover in this picture because it is one of my favorite books and I love to read. I also really love the artwork in it. The top next to it is really precious to me because I got it as a present and I have had it for 3 years. Next to it you can see my bullet journal, which I put there since I love collecting memories and it looks so pretty, same goes for the journal below. There are some small items next to it that I've gotten from my friends at one point. My headphones are there because I obviously like music and my dad's camera is there because I love taking photos and I do it all the time. The photos are precious to me because of that and because of the memories I associate with them. The orchid in the right bottom corner was a present from a girl in my class who I don't really know but it's the plant I've had the longest and I really like it.
Finally, there's a necklace with different charms I have collected throughout the years: My best friend and I had a necklace with a unicorn and we just kept collecting little charms (we had various best friends ones) and used to wear it a lot. I don't wear it anymore but it's really precious to me because it is connected to memories and our friendship in general.
All of the objects are really precious to me in lots of different ways.

I grew up living in a house with a cherry tree in the garden that my bathroom window looked out onto. My Mum tells me that I used to sit under that tree for hours writing plays that I later would get my siblings and best friend to act out. It was my escape.
When I was nine or so, my parents got divorced and my Mum and us kids moved out of the house. My Dad stayed. I remember so clearly going back to visit him once and sitting on my old toilet. Something in the room wasn’t right, an emptiness. The feeling stood out from the rest of the house, which also felt vacant. It took me a while to realize that the light was different and the light was different because there weren’t leaves outside the window. He’d cut it down and when I asked about it, I could tell he didn’t understand why I was hurt. That was the beginning of many realizations I’ve had about my Dad and our relationship.
On my sixteenth birthday, my Mum ushered me out of our house with my eyes closed and revealed my own new cherry tree. The bottom Polaroid is a photo of my tree, Amelie, blooming on its fifth Spring.
I continued to write plays and finished my first full length one called Mess last year. It was recently performed in a professional space and the paper in the photo is the performance script that is ready and waiting to be edited into its final draft.
I have since written an adaptation of Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard.

As I collect my most precious objects, I realized that I have a great attachment to small things. Some of these objects I inherited from my godmother who passed away in 2008. Like the little pot of dorca’s she brought from England, which is currently empty, but I think it's beautiful, the heart-shaped tin where I keep some jewelry, the miniature pencils, which I suppose they have no material value, but I keep them because they were hers, and the little wooden chest, where I keep crystals and my pocket watch with the heron on it. The wristwatch was from my mother is a Dumont, mother-of-pearl, and I have great sentimental attachment to it. The little notebook (Un petit mot de Paris) was a gift that my mother brought me from her trip last year. My mother also gave me the Recollections pens, which I always use in my sketchbooks (the current one is brown). And another gift my mother gave me was Professor Dumbledore's wand, which we bought at Universal in Orlando in 2012. My favorite book, ever since I was very small, has always been Alice in Wonderland. I always loved the story and it helped me to have a more fertile imagination, which led me to write stories, an activity that I love. I painted the notebook with the cover of The Starry Night by Van Gogh myself. It was just a notebook that my mother received from Banco do Brasil (which is where she works), so I decided to give personality to it, covering it up with my favorite work. The plate where the plant is I painted with nail polish as well. The penny board has entered the list of my favorite objects because it is my means of transportation through Curitiba-PR (the city where I’ve lived since I was a child), and I love it because I bought it with my own money as a Christmas gift to myself in 2015 in New York.

My heart necklace is something I bought a few years ago, and keep wearing over all other jewelry. I don’t know what it is about it, but when I wear the necklace I feel so much more happy and confident in myself.
“We were liars” has been my favorite book now for a couple of years and I keep re-reading it over and over. Each character feels so precious to me and each time I read the novel, I feel so much excitement and anticipation for the plot to continue. No matter how many times I turn the pages, the book never seems to lose any of its intelligence or uniqueness.
Two years ago, I visited India for ten days with my school at the time. I become so quickly entranced by the beauty and diversity of the places we visited, from New Delhi to Dharamsala. Unfortunately, during most of the trip, I was ill and suffered from exhaustion. The rock is something I picked up while trekking in the Himalayas, and it reminds me of the pain and fatigue I overcame on that journey.
The jar contains a collection of small rocks and pebbles, which I have picked up from various places I have been on holiday to with my family. These are precious to me because they remind me of all the good times I have had with my family for the past sixteen years. They hold so many memories of our time together.
Finally, I decided to include some of my dried flowers in the photo because flowers are such a big part of my life. My room is full of them! I find them so beautiful and they constantly inspire me and bring happiness to my life.

It took 2 days to sort out my mind and come up with the things I value the most.
I like writing stories. It started as a pass time when I was in 6th grade. My best friend and I would write fan fictions of the anime DnAngel, it's like we're creating a different world. That's how writing makes me feel. We would buy notebooks and write during our break time when we're in school. Even until now, I still write stories. Because of this hobby, I developed a collecting hobby of notebooks. Wherever I go, I would always bring a small notebook with me so that when an idea pops in, I can write it down. When I started painting, it was an art class, I discovered a new side of myself. Unlike other activities, we've done watercolor painting, which was the most enjoyable. You can effortlessly create beautiful artwork. When you use wet on wet technique, it's as if you're letting the paint move on its own. The satisfaction I feel when I see the paint move around the paper and creating a gradient like effect is something I cannot let go. When my painting is done, I feel so happy while staring at them. My mom taught me how to play the guitar, but more like I bugged her to teach me. When she got busy, I decided to learn on my own. It's not because I get envious when others can play it, it's nothing like that. When you love music, you'll want to do it any time of the day. When I feel gloomy, I'd get my guitar and play one song, then another one and another one. When I play, I get too focused that I even forget what made me feel down. It works as a stress reliever. I love my guitar so much. When I'm not at home, I'd always bring my phone with me. Who doesn't anyway? There's one sole reason why I never leave it behind. During commute, I hate hearing having a noisy conversation with others. It's annoying. I don't like noisy places. What I do is I plug my earphones in and play music with my phone. Not only does it keep me from hearing any unnecessary gossip, it also relaxes me. The things we do define us. Thank you for reading!

So basically my precious possessions sum up my life. I'm obsessed with reading and its what I do to de-stress or just entertain myself, but I will NEVER and I repeat NEVER stop buying hard copies of books. I'm really not into ebooks; they just don't seem as real to me. I have a small art journal and a writing journal to just get my thoughts out when I'm feeling down. I also included a flower that someone gave me that I've kept in this book since the day I got it 6 years ago and it means the world to me. I also have my converse a.k.a my adventure shoes because they're functional AND fashionable. I also have headphones because I think I'd explode without music. Like actually. But ya, welcome to my world. I hope you like it :)

These are a few of my favorite things and half of these things are gifts. What matters to me most are the people in my life, and so when they do give me gifts, I cherish them a lot. Even if they just leave me a sticky note on my desk, I’ll probably keep it for a very long time (as you can see in the random sticky note my friend wrote but completely didn’t even remember writing it that says “Jacky was here. I was gonna hang with you but you weren’t here. Oh well. – 2:18PM). If you go into my room, you’ll see that my wall is filled with postcards and small notes, as well as polaroids and printed photos. My journals are outlets for my bursts of creativity and inspiration, and my planner and calendar keep me on track and in control of my life. I cannot live without lip balm and combat boots, and Lilo and Stitch will always be my favorite movie, hence the Scump figure from a close friend who loves the movie as much as I do. I have also been obsessed with a choker one of my closest friends got me for Christmas. I wear it almost every other day. Finally, candles and cute socks give me warmth and Pilot pens make life worth living.

“Blood is thicker than water” was what my culture taught me since I was a child. Family matters and family is what I always go back to when I need support and love. My family is ordinary. My parents work normal jobs, my sister and I grew up bickering with one another, and to me, family means more than anything. My family members gifted all three of these items. The album was a gift from my mother. She knew of my love for kpop, and although she often laughed at my obsession with it, the first thing she thought of buying me was the album of my favorite group when she went to Korea. The watch was given to me by my father. I begged him for ages, and he bought me it as my gift for university. I see it as his sign of saying, "I'm proud of you” and I wear it everyday in university to give strength to myself. Lastly, my sister got me my journal. She knew how much I was raving about bullet journaling, and bought me that as a Christmas present even though she bet $100 that I would quit after a year. These are all what I consider my most precious items because they hold the feelings of my family, and they also in turn hold the feelings of my heart.

Honestly I live for music. I play 3 Instruments. The first instrument I ever learned was Trombone, which I named Fernando as a sad sixth grader inside joke. Next was piano. I love piano so much I can't even explain it. Then there's Alto Sax. My sister stopped playing hers after she graduated so I was like 'hey why don't I learn harharhar', jk I didn't really do that. Music just connects with me, you know? Next I have these 3 books that mean the /world/ to me. I was going to pick one, but I just couldn't. I found tiny pieces of myself in these heartbreaking stories. Next I have my drawing... so I don't really know how to express myself, at all, Until I started drawing. Some of my teachers love my art. Some think it's poisoning my brain. I love it. The three rings you see on the books we're given to me by my grandma. She passed away when I was in 6th grade. So about 3 years ago I lost her. Man that's crazy. I lost her and I honestly didn't know what to do with myself. She was the closest thing I had ever had in life, and they took her away from me... I had gone over to her house every single weekend. I don't even know how she didn't get sick of me. Next, is the knitting supplies. My Grandma used to knit blankets for the preemie babies that were in the hospital. (Aka premature babies/ born too early). Well I wanted to do something good for others and I'm just now learning. And lastly I have my photos of my best friend and my sister. My best friend, MacKenzie, is honestly amazing. I don't know what I'd do without her.

My mom is one of the most important people in my life. She made for me the sweater and the pink little « house » pouch on the photo; I adore them for their looks, but also because I know how much work she put into them. It symbolizes how much my mom does for me. She helped me go through some very hard times by being there and taking care of me, like she’s always done and I’m forever grateful for this. All the things she makes for me, and there are a lot of them, they’re like made out of this magnificent, selfless, unconditional love that, perhaps, only a mom can have for her child and that’s why they’re so precious to me, because they’re love.
When I was a teenager, I used to be very afraid of becoming an adult. My therapist recommended “My Sweet Orange Tree” to me at the time. It shook me up, in a helpful way. It helped me grow up a little bit. The Alchemist helped me to go through some of my darkest moments by giving me some hope and peace of mind while I felt like I could never find meaning in life and that life wasn’t worth it. Plants and nature have been helping me find faith and beauty in life; no matter how dark the day is, there is always something beautiful in nature. I often joke that my plants are my children. I name most of them and love to watch them grow, it’s magic. This one is from my mom. It was part of a birthday present.
My parents broke up when I was 11. This family picture is the only one I personally own of the four of us (my mom, my dad, my brother and me), I don’t even know if others exist, but it’s OK, because I have this one. It was a new year’s eve at my parent’s friends. I’m wearing a dress my mom made for me with a piece of wild silk my grandmother had brought back from a travel. It’s like a memory of a happy place, even if I also got severe urticaria on that same evening haha!
The bracelet is a Christmas present from my dad, from a few years ago, there’s nothing special to it, but it’s my favorite.
Sometimes I think I may be getting too old to keep these plush toys, but they have been my loyal companions since the beginning of my journey in life and have always been a great comfort during sad days. The first one is supposed to be some kind of pug dog, but I somehow was convinced it was a bear for most of my childhood, until my grandmother (on my dad’s side) told me it couldn’t be; I got so upset she could think it wasn’t a bear I refused to talk to her for the entire day. The second one was bought by my dad on the day I was born and it almost fell into oblivion. When I was 8, my dad was often traveling for work and I was missing him a lot, so I brought the little harlequin bear back from the box under my bed, and haven’t gave him up since. He fell into the toilet once.
My computer is something important for me because of what I can use it for. I mostly live « in my head » therefore I think most of my life is in my laptop: my readings, my writings, photos, music, researches, school work, film editing, games, movies, TV shows, keeping in touch with friends and so on.
My grandmother (on my mom side) has always sent me cards for my birthday, and my saint’s feast day (something we do in France), and sometimes letters too, for no particular occasion. There are also a few words from my grandfather, he’s always been so loving and positive, even if he had a difficult life, I admire him for that. I love them both with all my heart and I’m grateful to have them in my life.
My teenage years have a deep link with the music band Tokio Hotel. Even if I don’t think their music is that good, they’ve always done it with so much sincerity, it’s touching and honorable. They helped me grow through life, and I watched them grow as well and somehow that’s precious. I’ll always have this soft spot for them.
The piece of paper is a drawing my brother did once, probably during one of these deep conversations we sometimes have. I already knew of this, though I keep it because it’s a gentle reminder that I can’t just wish for things to happen and get better without challenging myself.

This quote is the perfect representation of my life motto. I live by constantly setting goals for myself and accomplishing them. Only then do I feel truly successful and productive. It was given to me by my dance coach before our districts competition.
The bow symbolizes dance, one of my favorite extracurriculars. Being a dancer has taught me to be passionate, work hard, and be disciplined.
The plaque is from our biggest national debate tournament, in which my partner and I got 3rd seed/3rd place in the preliminary rounds. It's a reminder of what hard work is like and the gratitude of winning afterwards.
And the book is an autobiography of one of my favorite celebrities, and also my first book in Mandarin! In here, he tells his life story about how hard he worked to achieve his spot in the world today, and it serves as motivation for me to work hard as well.

Ukulele- My ukulele is the first instrument I learned how to play. After learning the basics of the ukulele, I moved on to other interments like the piano and guitar. Without this ukulele I wouldn't have the love of music that I have today.
Book- I have always loved books and this book, “the perks of being a wallflower” has won my heart a countless amount of times, as it’s my go to book.
Necklace- This necklace is one of my favorite things because of the meaning of the rock. Even though some people are skeptical about the powers rocks have, I believe they have power.
Plant- This plant is a vine. This plant climbs to find light and is a constant reminder that in dark times you can always find light.
