Hi! I’m Lora, I’m eighteen. I’m still learning to understand myself, but I like this feeling of being on a path, when not everything is clear yet but there’s a lot of light ahead. I’m a bit quiet, not because I’m afraid to speak, but because I like listening first. I often think about how the world works, why people do what they do, and how to find my own place in all this noise.

I love evening walks when the city finally exhales. Music in my headphones that makes the way home feel longer than it really is. Warm tea that softens not only my hands but also my thoughts. I worry about small things sometimes, but I’m trying to learn to be gentle with myself. It’s hard, but important.

Learn to wake up without feeling emotionally tired.
Figure out what I truly want instead of repeating someone else’s dreams.
Cook simple things in a way that makes them feel like comfort, not just food.
Be honest with myself about what I feel and stop pretending everything is fine when it’s not.
Find something that makes me want to get up in the morning.
Travel to places where I can get lost and find myself again.
Stop being afraid to ask for help when things are heavy.
Learn to love my reflection without conditions.
Spend more time with people who make it easy to breathe.
Learn to let go of what is no longer mine.
And most importantly, keep believing that the future will be better than I imagine.
