Hi! I’m Lisa, I’m eighteen. I’m at an age where there’s a lot of doubt inside me, but also a lot of hope. I don’t understand everything about myself yet, but I like this process. It feels like I’m putting myself together piece by piece from thoughts, feelings, and random moments.

I love quiet, but not loneliness. I love walking next to someone in silence and feeling close in a real way. I often think more than I speak, and sometimes that makes me seem thoughtful or a little distant. In reality, I’m just trying to feel deeply instead of rushing.

I enjoy evening walks, the light in apartment windows, and music in my headphones that makes me slow down. I can worry about small things, but at the same time I know how to enjoy simple moments like warm tea, a random smile, or a sentence that hits right in the heart.

I’m not perfect and I don’t want to be. I want to learn to be honest with myself, trust my feelings, and not be afraid to follow my own path, even if it isn’t completely clear yet

Learn to wake up calmly, without anxiety or rushing
Figure out what I truly want from life, not what others expect from me
Stop doubting myself because of other people’s words
Find something that inspires me instead of draining me
Learn to talk about my feelings honestly and on time
Be gentle with myself instead of demanding
Travel to places where I can feel free
Create a cozy space around me where it feels good to be
Meet people with whom I can be my true self
Learn to let go of the past without pain
Appreciate small moments, not only big goals
And most importantly, keep the feeling that everything is just beginning
