How Would You Describe Yourself to Someone?

Daily Prompt

I guess.. If I had to describe myself to someone, I wouldn’t jump straight into a list of titles or achievements. I think I’m someone who feels deeply, thinks often, and is still figuring things out—at my own pace.

I’m someone who enjoys quiet mornings, simple joys, and the occasional unexpected adventure. I write to make sense of my thoughts, to remember what matters, and to document not just the big milestones, but the small, beautiful moments in between.

I’ve travelled a bit — sometimes with friends, sometimes with my husband — and I’ve come to realise I don’t need extravagant plans to feel joy. A warm bowl of noodles that reminds me of my grandparents, a short walk through a flower dome, or catching a glimpse of the Minions at Universal Studios can all feel equally meaningful.

I’m also someone who’s learning to take up space differently these days — to stop measuring my life against what others are doing. I believe in following your own rhythm, doing more of what lights you up inside, and letting go of timelines that don’t feel like your own.

I enjoy cooking homely meals, writing quietly into WordPress drafts, playing Party in My Dorm (yes, for 12 years and counting!), and spending time with the people who feel like home.

So if I had to sum it all up?
I’m just someone trying to live a little more gently, a little more honestly, and hopefully, a little more meaningfully each day.
