“Most of my free time I either listen to music or do self-care. It’s a way for me to distract myself from things and a way for me to relax. I enjoy listening to music from all over the world and especially in English and Portuguese. My taste in music in Portuguese is very upbeat by artists like Pose Do Rodo or Orochi. My music taste in English is rather sad but I don’t find it sad. It calms me down. I like listening to Amy Winehouse, Lana Del Rey, Matt Maltese, and Artic Monkeys. Music has always been a part of me, and the lyrics are the most important part to me and it always inspires me to write out my thoughts and it has made me a better writer and it makes me notice subtle things as well.”
