About Me

"Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show."

Hi swappers, my name is Annie. I am a current medical assistant in my late twenties navigating the winding roads of life. I am pursuing education in clinical social work, hoping to work in healthcare for the general public. I have been writing my whole life and integrate it into almost everything I do. I enjoy reading and writing poetry (though I have come across a giant writer's block in this aspect), paper crafting/ card-making, and planning. In my free time, I can be found volunteering at the soup kitchen or wandering the aisles of Michael's craft stores. In recent years, I have been striving towards a minimalist mindset and waste-reducing lifestyle. I have become much more conscious of my carbon footprint and enjoy looking for ways to implement eco-friendly practices and habits into daily life. Thus, I am an impassioned advocate for the well-being of this beautiful earth we exist upon. I love exploring the world and am grateful for the opportunities to do so. I plan on being able to visit as many places as possible within my means. I love telling and receiving jokes, and I sincerely believe laughter is healing for the soul.

Likes

I am a stationery fan. I cannot walk past Target's dollar spot without browsing the many stationery knick knacks they so dangerously offer. I like floral or fruity fragrances. My idea of self care comes in the form of face masks at the end of a long day.

I enjoy learning tidbits about history and going to all kinds of museums. Harriet Tubman and Clara Barton are two of my biggest historical inspirations. The Civil War, WWII and Victorian Era fascinates me. I often fantasize about living in cottage houses or countryside towns.

I love nature. Anything from trees to flowers to wildlife. Rivers, streams, waterfalls, and lakes are sceneries that captivate and soothe me.

I am changing my life to reflect a more minimalistic mindset and eco-friendly existence. I am doing my best to be progressively more eco-conscious and kind to our planet. I have grown increasingly fond of the art of recycling, reducing, and reusing. I have a tendency to save my scrap paper and "upcycle" them into my paper crafting. I am constantly looking for ways to upcycle unused supplies and resources. I always remind myself to consume less and use what I already have. Recycling and reducing waste has become a tremendous influential factor on my way of life. At work, I am known to most as "the environmentalist." I am lucky that the people I work with support my advocacy for a greener environment. I am very fortunate to live in an area where access to filtered water is within reach, so I am protective of this natural resource on many levels. Thus, I adore anything that has to do with helping Mother Earth maintain its well-being. I appreciate reusables and zero waste items.

What I like eating: Tacos, burritos, mangoneadas, chips and fresh salsa, Japanese snacks, corn puffs, three cheese pizza rolls, tomato soup.

Other random interests: learning new languages, taking hikes, tacos and micheladas, trying new cuisines, skincare related things, Rilakkumma.

Dislikes

I do not have a religion, so kindly refrain from sending related items. I respect other religions/ beliefs and ask the same in return.

  • KPOP items: I do not listen to KPOP anymore and do not partake in any fandoms. Please don't send kpop things, I will not find use for them equaling a waste of your time to prepare.
  • Loose glitter/ confetti: I find these hard to work with.
  • Damaged, used, stained, or very worn items

Favorite Music

A sample medley of my musical taste:

  • "Time After Time" Cyndi Lauper
  • "Rainy Days and Mondays" The Carpenters
  • "Dreaming of You" Selena
  • "Here Without You" Three Doors Down
  • "See You Again" Charlie Puth
  • "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" Lauryn Hill
  • "Upside Down" Jack Johnson
  • "Heaven Sent" Keyshia Cole
  • "Try Again" Aaliyah
  • "Departed" Brandy
  • "Sunshine" Atmosphere
  • "No Rest for the Weary" Blue Scholars
  • "Our Generation" John Legend, Pete Rock +CL Smooth
  • "Never Forget You" Lupe Fiasco
  • "Starboy" The Weeknd
  • "Bleeding Love" Leona Lewis
  • "Not A Bad Thing" Justin Timberlake

Underground artists: Jazz Liberatorz, Slum Village, Blue Scholars, Common, Jedi Mind Tricks, Zion I, Pete Rock, CL Smooth, Talib Kweli, J Dilla, DJ Okawari

Comment: What a thoughtful choice of card, envelopes and goodies! I especially like the papers you used - constellations! Sad to say, I do not get to see the stars much either here, since we have evening fog or cloudcover. But when it is clear, it is incredible! (and cold). I love your quote - and totally agree! Happy swapping! (You did, indeed, brighten my week!)

Hi Annie! How are you? Remember me? I just wanted to let you know that I FINALLY answered your lovely letter that you sent to me in a swap last month. I will be putting it in the mail to you tomorrow. I'm sorry it took me such a long time to answer you. Take care, Annie & if you would like to continue being pen pals, I would love to do the same. Have a happy week! Carol :)
