about me
well... about me!
hmm... i don't know what to say here. i sort of doubt i'll get traffic on this site from people who don't know me in real life. but for the sake of vanity, let me introduce myself regardless. i'm rhea! i'm 23 (had to change that from 22!), from the bay area, california. i enjoy picking up new hobbies, seeing movies with my friends, and getting into fun arguments. i dislike passive-aggression, green bell peppers, and messy people. some of my short term goals are to learn to sew, to practice/pick up new languages, to move, and to catch up to michelle on beli (that one will never happen). my dream is to live a life where i have a net positive impact on the world, however small. i have trouble with follow-through so i'm hoping this site will be the exception to that!
favorites
- color: purple! (if you can't tell by this site... lmao)
- food: honestly, i have a lot. probably either soup dumplings, mac and cheese, or chaat (favorite chaat dish: dahi papdi chaat). or dosa.
- book: i try to read as much as possible, so this is also difficult. some of my favorites in the past year or so have been babel by r.f. kuang, beach read by emily henry, and homegoing by yaa gyasi. my favorite book as a child was all the light we cannot see by anthony doerr :) here's my storygraph account if you want to stay up to date with what i'm reading.
- movie: i think i've seen bridget jones' diary over a dozen times. it's a perfect movie to me. i also LOVE the 2005 pride and prejudice, even though i've never been able to get through the book. click here to read through my hilarious, thoughtful, groundbreaking letterboxd account.
- drink: roasted oolong milk tea with boba!
- scent: jasmine and sandalwood
currently
- listening: i've been in a weird rut when it comes to music. this was a year of new albums for so many artists but i feel like i've hardly discovered anyone new! i have been listening to a lot of fleet foxes though.
- reading: i just got this incredible book of ms. magazine articles (thanks kat!) so i've been working my way through it!
- watching: the new season of the sex lives of college girls. mindy kaling you will pay for getting me so invested in yet another shitty show...
- planning: my trip to nyc :)
- hoping: that i can find the motivation i currently need. (nothing's changed here)
- trying: to exercise self control on black friday weekend, sadly
