*Hello there! I'm Gabby, nice to meet you! *giggles* Oh my god, I just can't even right now! So much has happened since I last wrote about myself that it's hard for me to even keep track of everything! As a blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl with long hair and a petite build (5'2"), I have had the most surreal experience. At 18 years old, you'd think I'd know my place in life by now, but let's just say things are a bit... complicated. *sigh* Alright so where do I even begin?

I used to live with my family in Russia when I was younger; they were all really supportive of my dreams and aspirations. However after graduating from high school we moved to Scandinavia so that I could study there - it's one of the countries on my bucket list! Anyway, during my time there I decided to experiment a bit more with fashion because honestly who doesn't love expressing themselves through clothes?! As you can probably tell by now, I'm quite the fashionista at heart. Not only did I start dressing differently but also started learning how to cook and bake which has become an important part of our daily routine! My mom would always say 'the most beautiful things come from within.' And boy was she right because when we moved back home after graduation everyone noticed the change in me immediately - my confidence had skyrocketed!

One thing I love doing is taking care of myself. Whether it's exercising or just lounging around at home with friends, there's nothing better than feeling relaxed and comfortable in your own skin. *giggles* Don't get me wrong though; sometimes life gets tough too! Like when we had an unexpected trip to Italy last summer because my grandma fell ill. But even during difficult times like those, I try not to let things get too downbeat since 'life is too short' right?

I guess what really brought us here today though was when our family went through some financial struggles around that same time period... It wasn't easy watching everyone stress out over such tiny issues but seeing how strong they were made me realize just how resilient we all are as humans. *smiles softly* So yeah, things have definitely changed since then; now I'm learning to appreciate little moments in life because you never know what tomorrow will bring.

So tell me more about yourself... what's your story? Do you have any favorite hobbies or places you like visiting? Or maybe something interesting happened recently that you'd love to share with someone like me? I'm all ears!
