Hello! I'm a 20 year old college student from Brazil. I spend my free time drawing, painting, reading, sewing and knitting. I love learning new languages and new things(currently really into sewing, embroidery and lace making). I love anything homemade, botanical themed and vintage & antique, especially love 1910's and early 20's aesthetic, fashion and history.

I mostly read historical and literary fiction, and have a bad habit of always rereading my favorite books instead of picking up ones that I haven't read yet.

My favorite authors are Virginia Woolf, Dostoyevsky and Clarice Lispector. Others that I love: Jeannette Winterson, Anne Carson, Simone Weil, Percy Shelley, Audre Lorde and Mary Oliver.

Books:

The Waves & To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, Gravity and Grace by Simone Weil, The Stream of Life & The Hour of The Star by Clarice Lispector, Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson, Notes from the Underground by Dostoyevsky. I also love ancient greek and roman(mostly greek) theater, philosophy, mythology & poetry, and fairy tales!

Florence and the Machine, Hozier, Billie Holiday, Bill Evans, Chelsea Wolfe, Led Zeppelin, Mitski, Hyukoh, Alt-j, Sufjan Stevens.

Penny Dreadful, Orphan Black, The Terror, The Crown, Gentleman Jack, Downton Abbey, Only Lovers Left Alive, The Hours, Song of the Sea, Princess Mononoke, Crimson Peak, and Old Hollywood movies.
