INTRODUCTION

Hi, I'm Lore

What you really want to know:

The big 3 are Aries-Virgo-Virgo

I'm an aspiring writer, dedicated plant mom, & avid collector of literature 

Normally, I take my coffee with almond milk & cinnamon foam 

​

Oh, the blurb at the beginning was not enough for you & you want to know more about me? Say less...

​

Let's dig a little deeper:

Why a blog? Good question! In all honesty, I'm tired of purchasing new journals to record my seemingly endless stream of thoughts, books that I just devoured, moments I never want to forget, recipes that I perfected, & whatever else comes to mind. But, I also want to feel connected to other people who share any of these overwhelming thoughts, which is why I'm taking my endless stream to the public. To you. 

​

But why "haunted"? Another great question! To put it simply, I've always felt haunted. By my past, the pressures of the future, & the general spooks of life that come & go, the things that slip through our fingers. &, as someone who believes that Halloween is a state of mind, I also just love that word!  

​

The first short story I ever wrote was in 4th grade & was about a girl, her dog, & a soccer championship. Shout out to Mrs. Germain, b/c she read it out loud to our class & edited it for me. That moment was the moment that I knew that I wanted to be a writer. 

There are few things I enjoy more than my ever-growing community of plants, a good cup of coffee (hot or iced, I don't have a preference), sitting on the floor of bookstores, & thunderstorms. 

​

Literature has always been a love of mine & there are few days that go by that a random quote by Sylvia Plath or JRR Tolkien isn't bouncing around in my head. I'll talk & relate the oddest things to books I've read or a podcast I binge-ed. 

​

Hiraeth is one of my most loved words & it wonderfully describes a deep part of me that I was never able to put into words. Latin words, especially Latin phrases, resonate with me & you'll notice that there will be no shortage of them in this blog or on my Instagram.

​

If you struggle with anxiety, then I sympathize with you. It's something I've struggled with & something I've always tried to hide. On that same note, I've learned that it is better to be transparent about it. Honest & transparent, b/c you're not alone. 

​

Obviously, I've got a lot to say, I hope you're willing to hang around & listen. Hopefully, while I'm discovering myself in my life, you, dear reader, can discover something about yourself as well.

Si Vales, Valeo
