hello, it’s me!
Hi! I’m Catherine, a student living in France and the person behind this little corner of the web.
I came to France as a LGBT refugee from Russia. I’m finding my footing in a new country, studying the language at university, and trying to embrace the chance to start my life over with a clean slate ♡
little things I love
♫ sounds
dreamy songs, old playlists and music for rainy walks

why this website exists
I miss the internet that felt personal: handmade pages, strange little collections, guestbooks, blinkies, and spaces created simply because someone loved something.
So this is my attempt to build one of those spaces for myself — slowly, imperfectly, and with lots of tiny decorations.
