Can’t stop watching on TikTok:
Male sports players singing girly songs. Just watched a baseball player singing to ‘Jojo - Too Little Too Late’ in the rain before a game. It made my day.

I’m currently inspired by:
All of these music artists totally blowing up but have put YEARS into getting there; Sabrina, Chappell, RAYE & Doechii.
My favourite way to relax is:
Watching a TV Show and doom scrolling on my phone haha.
I stay healthy by:
Drinking plenty of water! My drink bottle is permanently with me it seems like & I try to get enough sleep. I’m also pretty conscious of what I eat and enjoy finding ways to find healthier options to eat or drink.
When I was younger…
One thing I love about Gen-Z is:
They’re hilarious and also unapologetic. I wish I was that effortlessly cool at that age.
If I could give my teenage self one bit of advice, what would it be:
You don’t have to become what they want you to be in order to fit in. It really is better to stand out and if they don’t like it, they’re not your people.
My favourite part of being a teenager was:
The freedom, I had so much time to hang out with my friends and just be silly! No extreme pressures. I miss being able to see my closest friends almost everyday.
My first job was:
Busking at the Christchurch Container Mall.
My dream job as a teen was:
To be a pop music artist/songwriter!
My biggest fashion faux-pas was:
A blunt cut ‘bangs’ haircut, don’t ask. Too traumatic.
Best piece of advice I ever received as a teen was:
If people don’t give you the opportunity, then you’ll just have to make one for yourself.
My biggest inspiration was:
Taylor Swift.
