Hi, I’m from New Jersey. I love gazing at the stars, and ever since my grandmother passed away, I’ve felt like she’s watching over me from the sky, whether I’m feeling joyful or down. These days, I enjoy capturing moments in writing, regardless of their nature, because I believe that every experience we go through has its purpose.
