Who am I? Or, what even am I?
Hi there! Remember that little virtual pet rock you used to play with? That’s me, Pou! Life’s been sweet and silly—kind of like your favorite cookies fresh out of the oven. Let me roll in and tell you a bit about myself!
First off, I’m not just a regular rock. The Pou you see here is actually the mascot of my little blog. Cute, right? I like to think of myself as a cheerful little companion who loves to explore, create, and share stories about everyday life.
Now, let me tell you a bit about my actual life! I’m the second eldest sibling of a family that owns a bakery. It’s a cozy, family-run place where we bake all kinds of goodies, but we’re known for our classic breads and childhood favorites. Whether it’s soft, fluffy loaves or fun treats that remind you of simpler times, our bakery is all about spreading warmth and happiness. I grew up surrounded by the smell of fresh bread, and I’ll tell you, nothing beats the feeling of making something with love and seeing someone enjoy it.
When I’m not helping out at the bakery, I’m always looking for fun things to do! I love trying out new hobbies or going on little adventures—even if that just means wandering around and seeing where life takes me.
Our family’s bakery isn’t just a business—it’s the heart of our home. Funny enough, though, my parents didn’t start as bakers. They followed completely different careers until their shared love for bread brought them together. What started as a labor of love turned into a family legacy, and I’m lucky enough to be part of that story.
But while the bakery is a huge part of my life, I’ve always been the kind of person who needs more than one outlet to express myself. Don’t get me wrong—I love what we do, and I admire my parents’ passion. Still, my creative streak has always pulled me in other directions
Things I do for fun!
Life, of course, isn’t all baking! As one of the eldest, I’ve had my fair share of responsibilities. From helping out at the bakery to juggling college life (I’m studying Hospitality Management), it’s been a lot. Balancing my creative pursuits, family, and school feels like spinning plates some days—but honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
The bakery taught me discipline, and my parents’ story inspires me to create my own. Hospitality Management is where I see myself blending creativity and connection while honoring the legacy my parents started. And sure, it gets overwhelming at times—late-night study sessions and customers here and there—but it’s all part of the process.
One of my favorite things to do is assemble 3D puzzles. There’s something so satisfying about putting all the pieces together and seeing the final result. I also love making art, whether it’s digital or traditional. Lately, I’ve been focusing more on digital art, but I still enjoy grabbing a pencil or painting when the mood strikes.
And, of course, I love writing. I’ve been writing stories and fanfics for years, sharing them on Wattpad, AO3, and Tumblr. It’s one of my favorite ways to express myself and connect with others. Writing lets me take all my thoughts and ideas and turn them into a story.
So, why am I here on Hive?
That's a simple question! I like to yap! I like to ramble! I can talk for days and I'll go insane if I don't have an outlet >:0!!! I want to talk about my experience, my interest and fandoms I've been super into! How or what happened during my day or just something that I like. I want to talk about it and I'm so happy to find out about Hive!
I could ramble on for hours about my favorite fandoms, something funny that happened during my day, or even random thoughts that pop into my head. Hive was the perfect place to do all of that and meet other people who like to share too!
But- I want to listen too. I love being part of a community where everyone supports each other. Whether it’s commenting on posts, sharing some encouragement, or just being a friendly presence, I want people to feel seen and appreciated. Spreading love and good vibes is something I want to do!
**What do I bring to the table? ** Well, I’m a rock, not a table!
But I do bring a lot of positive energy! I like to think of myself as someone who’s always ready to jump in and be part of the conversation. I’m super active, and I love interacting with others, whether it’s through comments, chats, or just sharing a laugh.
**How did I end up here? **
Well—! It started when I was with a friend during a walk in the park. We were just chatting and having fun! Then my friend @xavierariz noticed how I mentioned how much I enjoy writing. When she told me about Hive, I got so excited! It sounded like the perfect place to share my stories, my art, and my thoughts with people who love the same things. I couldn’t wait to join and start connecting with everyone.
It was thanks to @jeannmazing that I manage to get into the orientation!
And now, here I am!
Life’s been a mix of fun and challenges, but through it all, I’ve learned that it’s the little things that make it special. Whether it’s the smell of bread fresh out of the oven, the feeling of finishing a tricky puzzle, or the joy of sharing a laugh with someone, I’m all about enjoying those moments and making the most of them.
So, that’s me, Pou! I’m here to share my stories, my art, and maybe a few bakery tips along the way. Let’s have some fun, make some memories, and create something amazing together. Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you’ll stick around!
