Welcome to my quiet life. I document my daily peaceful moments, minimalism & intentional living, food adventures, travel observations, art, and my precocious cat.

My name is Melissa.
Fangirl/Fandom Elder/BTS ARMY π
I have a niece and three beautiful nephews I adore to pieces, even when they make me feel old.
I grew up in the heart of the midwest but have also lived in Chicago, Kansas, Kentucky, Hawaii*, and The Caribbean*. (*technically I lived on a cruise ship) but I havenβt found βHomeβ to settle down in yet.
I am a homebody introvert at heart, but I also really love to travel and experience different places, cultures, people, languages, and food. I have owned a passport for almost my entire adult life, though it hasn't gotten stamped as often as I would like lately.
I highly recommend everyone take a long-distance train ride at least once in their life!
My greatest wish is for everyone I meet to see themselves as beautiful, just as they are, right now, at this very moment.
I love being surrounded by idealistic people dedicated to bettering themselves and the world, and aren't afraid to speak their minds.
I love to read a lot and am currently in love with audiobooks. Especially when I get to listen during mundane things like driving and cleaning!
I used to watch TV a lot, but these days I only own a projector so I' save my binge-watching for days when I need a mood boost or if Iβm not feeling well.
Sci-fi & fantasy with a twist of romance and/or comedy make up a majority of my favorite tv shows and movies. Throw in musical elements and I'll be there before you can blink.
Shows I could watch on repeat: Jane the Virgin, Sense8, Battlestar Galactica, Gargoyles, Heroes, LOST, Pushing Daisies, and Leverage
I occasionally binge-watch YouTubers who build or restore cabins/houses when I want to relax.
I watch the film Amelie regularly on New Yearβs Eve if I'm home alone. Or really anytime I need to smile.
Other Fave Movies: Pride & Prejudice, Persuasion, Legally Blonde, Parasite, Big Eden, Wild, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Moulin Rouge and The Mummy.
I like to dabble in writing stories when I have a little down time.
