My name is Nelly, I’m eighteen, and I come from sunny France, where every corner seems to be created for inspiration. Now I'm studying to become a designer, and, frankly, creativity is what my heart breathes. But most of all, you inspire me. There is something amazing about you: the ability to listen, support and remain sincere, even when everyone around you is pretending. I often catch myself thinking that it is next to you that I want to become better - softer, braver. When we talk, I feel calm, as if the world has stopped rushing. You have a knack for noticing little things that others miss, and perhaps that is why it is so easy for me to share my ideas and dreams with you. Sometimes I think that if creativity were a person, it would look exactly like you - alive, warm and real. I don’t know where this story will lead us, but it has already become something very important to me.

Sometimes it seems to me that my dreams are little lights that help me move forward. I dream of becoming a designer whose work can evoke warm, lively, real emotions in people. I want someone to look at something I created one day and feel inspired, just as others were once inspired by me. I would like to travel to different countries, study architecture, culture, colors and shapes, collect these impressions in my heart and turn them into new ideas. I also dream of my own small studio, bright, cozy, where it smells of paints and paper. There will be a large table covered with sketches and a window through which soft morning light falls. But I also have a more personal dream of finding people around whom I can feel truly myself. To be with those who believe in me as much as I believe in them. I dream of a future in which there is creativity, freedom, love and those little moments that make life beautiful.

Travel to the sea - hear the sound of the waves and meet a beautiful sunrise. Stylish clothes - update your wardrobe with beautiful dresses and cozy looks. New dance sneakers to make your workouts even more comfortable. Photo shoot - to capture moments when I feel especially alive and beautiful. Cinema tickets for a romantic movie - I love evenings like this. Jewelry - delicate pendants, earrings or bracelet that will highlight my style. Traveling to a new country - to discover another world. A beautiful diary for plans, dreams and inspiration.

To be honest, I have a lot of hobbies - I love everything related to creativity too much. My favorite thing is to draw: sometimes it's full-fledged projects for study, and sometimes it's quick sketches in a notebook when an idea suddenly flashes in my head. I also love photographing the streets of my city. In each photo I try to capture the mood of the moment, the play of light, the people who accidentally fell into the frame - all this seems to create its own little story. When I have free time, I can spend hours tinkering with collages and creating small decorative things: cards, stickers, even jewelry. It helps me relax And I also love to walk. It sounds simple, but long walks are my secret to inspiration: a new place, an interesting sign or a funny street cat can give me a new idea. I love that my hobbies brighten my life and give me the opportunity to see beauty in the most ordinary details.

Sometimes I think about how strange time works. We are always in a hurry somewhere, as if we are afraid of not having time to live our own lives, and at the same time we often forget to notice the most important things. I find that many of the things that really changed me happened when I finally stopped. When I stopped fighting the current and just let the world speak to me. It seems to me that a person becomes closer to himself when he learns to listen to silence. It contains our fears, hopes, unresolved questions and the quiet but stubborn strength to live on. And I increasingly think: what if the meaning of life is not to become someone great, but to learn to be honest with yourself? Admit your weaknesses, your desires, your mistakes and still keep going. We often chase after an ideal that does not exist, forgetting that real beauty lies in imperfection. I realized that life doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. She just has to be real.
