welcome to my new website!

it's a work in progress

My name is Natalie and I make music, photos, drawings, and journal entries. Currently, I am enriching my life by pursuing my interests in depth. I have been suffering from lack of motivation and severe depression for a very long time, but since I don't want to waste my life, I am making some changes.

My main chosen life path is that of a musician. This path can take many forms, and for me, it is the experience of creation in isolation. While I do enjoy collaborating every once in a while, I mostly end up creating alone with few to share my music with. I have been shy all of my life, and something bad happened to me a few years ago which has caused me to self-isolate even further. Despite being a loner, I have recently taken steps to become more connected with others, and hopefully someday I won't even fit the desctription of "loner" or "outsider."

I'm also getting into photography and videography because I want to learn how to use my camera. The goal is to make a music video and take photos worth saving.

I also love reading. Right now, I'm reading "Better Small Talk" by Patrick King which is really about creating positive social interactions and moving past the phase of small talk towards deep connection.. I intend to study its every detail and utilize its techniques so I can actually have a social life lmao.

Despite having my life interrupted by traumatic events, I am working hard to rebuild it and become the person I deserved to have the time to become.

Quotes

I love quotes and intend to put some here as I come across them. Admittedly, I have not been saving my favorite quotes, which is very regrettable, because I often need others' words to inspire me when I am suffering.
