Waves in Retrograde

A quick hello to start things off…

Born in Honolulu, raised in the Bay Area & fog-kissed corners of San Francisco, wandered through the sweaty charm of Austin, and now rooted in Los Angeles. Sunshine, chaos, and so much magic.

I didn’t always know it, but I’m an ocean baby through and through. Salt air, crashing waves, the pull of the tide- it resets me. Reminds me I’m alive (and so very small). Being near water feels like coming home, and California? She has called me back.

I feel like I’ve lived a dozen lifetimes, and honestly, I might still be in the middle of a few. (Memoir pending, stay tuned.) Somewhere between the lore, plot twists, and pivots, I landed here: dreaming out loud, creating daily, and maybe dancing with a bit of beautiful delusion.

I’m a notoriously private person, but I’m excited to have this little corner of the internet as a cute way to share bits of my existence. No promises on timing, structure, or themes- just my life, my loves, and whatever feels real in the moment. No paywall. I don't want this to feel like work or something to overthink (any other Capricorns?). Just keeping it simple and romanticizing the void, one blog post at a time.
