What is My Favourite Form of Creativity?

My favourite form of creativity is in the form of literature. There are so many wonderful books and I simply adore the wild wit used in them. I also like creativity in the form of science, because science is truth and truth is beauty. ✨

Here is a tiny mood board I made for dark academia! It’s my favourite aesthetic. ✨

SamSahana’s Questions

1. Did you have to alter your ways during the pandemic or did you maintain “COVID-appropriate behaviour” even in the pre-COVID times?

😅 I maintained Covid-appropriate behaviour way before the pandemic started; as a wallflower, I keep very few best friends, others who are just acquaintances. I am already very strict in my hygiene, and I rarely talk (except, of course, when the subject comes to books), so the social-distancing rules and cleanliness regulations were almost normal for me. ✨

2. Do you have any unpopular opinion?

Yep, and that is ‘BTS, K-pop and K-dramas are overrated’. Well, it’s my opinion, and a very unpopular one. The main reason why I loathe K-industry is because it promotes controversial beauty standards, like plastic surgery just to get the so-called “perfect face” which is spreads self-hate.

3. What do you see as an admirable trait in a person?

Sincere kindness. 💖
I think it is a very admirable trait in a person, and I find that it is becoming rare in people every day. But I am hopeful for there are many warm-hearted souls that I have met and glad to have befriended them (on the blog and in-person). I believe kindness is the key to being a humble human being. ✨

Kindness – that simple word. To be kind – it covers everything, to my mind. If you’re kind that’s it.
Roald Dahl

4. Name a city, country or town that you are very eager to visit.

Ooooo… this one is hard, but I would say… errrr…
Transylvania! 🧛‍♀️
I would simply love to visit Bran castle, surrounded by the forested Carpathian mountains. 🏰✨
