I was born in London, then I went to Saudi Arabia, and I live there. I went to an all-girls school until I was in 6th grade oh, my parents divorced when I was like six, I still don't know why. I went to a mixed American School in Saudi Arabia for all of middle school, and got really sad and beg my dad to send me away, so I went to boarding school in Switzerland, so I was like thank God. And then, yeah now I'm here. I'm not that old, I haven't gone through anything big like that. I haven't experienced that much. I was born in June 4th at 9:10 am, haha I don't know. I don't know much defining moments in my life. I went through a really bad breakup in high school, it changed me, I chopped my hair off after that. I guess that's important, but I don't really look at that stuff like it's important. It's not important to me because, I'm young. A high school relationship is not important, I'm not going to remember in 5 years, you know? I don't really like talking about myself, especially the people I don't really know. It's weird. I used to be the type of person to share everything, I was super social in Switzerland and then this summer I changed. Honestly, it sucks to think about it but I think it's because I did a lot of drugs. You really have a lot of time to get you know yourself when you're tripping out a lot. don't mention that to the teacher, but yeah you really get to know yourself when you're like having a down after doing something, but like when you having a bad moment you get to know yourself better, and I like being more closed. I'm getting a dog in 2 weeks, leave on this apartment for 10 years, it was like a family apartment in the West village. It's super nice, cuz my brother is coming to visit me like all the time, they were just here like yesterday. I can't wear any heels because I'm already like way taller than any of my friends, yeah, I don't own any. It's better than being short though.
My parents divorced when I was six and I was in Saudi Arabia and my mom lives in London, so every since I was a kid I've been traveling a lot, so I'm exposed to travel and I'm really grateful for that. I've never settle down in one place for such a long time, it's my first time now really, I was in boarding school for four years, so we wasn't like a home home in Switzerland.
I have no idea. I've always wanted to get a dog. I wanted to Foster dogs, and I was planning on getting one in August, and I can bring a random dog to the park without them knowing about it, why don't you just get the dog your dog in 2 weeks, no, that's not part of the plan. I'll just foster dogs, no like you might as well. a little shih tzu, her name is going to be Minky. I love cuddling dogs. I can feel her little heart beating, and I can be her person. I'm not a cat person.
Trust. I don't know, I think it's important to have a friendship where you know you can just say anything and the person won't think of you differently. I'm not gay, but I know if I come out to one of my friends, they wouldn't care at all. It's just a nice thing to know that if I did something or if something changes about me, or if I like something else, they're not going to really care and they're still going to like me for me. communication too, when I was in middle School I was such a b****. I used to get in so many stupid fights, I don't know why, I was so dramatic, I don't know what I was thinking, but ever since four years ago, I started speaking to my friends instead of like starting drama with them, and it's a game changer. Just communicating.
I wish I could play all the instruments. That would be nice, they'll be super cool. I love music. That's the only reason that I want to play instruments, because I love music. I could just play alone all the time. I wouldn't play the people, I don't like performing in public speaking or anything. I just have a guitar. It's so fun though, learning it's so fun.
I don't have like the best memory, I have a lot of good memories have a lot of terrible memories. a terrible memory was my shroom trip two days ago, it was so bad. It was so so bad. I'm such a positive person, but it was so bad. I felt so sad. I think you can control your emotions very well, and you can change your life by the way you look at it, but wow. I couldn't fight or keep that shit out, not good. It's fine though, I'll just admit everything tonight and wake up tomorrow and try to change it. it was like 6 hours long, I was with my brother, but he was having a bad trip to. We were just tripping on our own shit together. It's fine though, you learn from them. When my friends and I are super mad at somebody, we just lay down a beat and start freestyling, we start dissing them. I can freestyle, I can freestyle in Arabic.
I haven't really done much. We are social beings, obviously we're going to have an impact on somebody. I'm back my brothers, my parents, my friends, I don't know what my greatest accomplishment is. I don't want to say that's my thing. I don't know, this like a pending question, hopefully in the next couple of years I will have something to say about this, but now I don't. I really want to listen to one of the artists that I like, and see my cover. That'll be super cool.
I would want to know how I would be, when I'm like 80. I don't want to be like an old lady being alone. I want to have a husband that I can grow old with. I just want the reassurance that I'm not going to be alone. Then I can live peacefully. I don't think I'll be alone though.
