get to know me!

hey, I’m Lola, but most people just call me Lo.

I’m 17, I live in Argentina, and I’m wrapping up my last year of high school.

Life’s weird lately — kind of soft and sad and quiet and exciting all at once. Like a rainy day where you don’t know if you want to cry or dance in it. (Spoiler: I usually do both.) I spend most of my time making things — I draw, I sculpt, I cut up old fabric and turn it into something new.

My sketchbook is my safe space. It’s full of thoughts I haven’t said out loud, faces I made up, and pages I’ve smudged with charcoal and feelings. I don’t play video games. I’m more of a “watch Coraline for the 14th time” type of person. I love anything weird and a little creepy — Gravity Falls, The Walking Dead, stop-motion movies that feel slightly haunted in the best way.

I believe in paranormal stuff, too. Energy that sticks around. Unexplained things that make your skin buzz. Ghosts that aren’t scary, just misunderstood.

One of my core memories? Me at like 6 years old in a ballet class, standing there in my pink shoes and telling my mom I didn’t want to go anymore — because the teacher was an asshole. And I said it right in front of the teacher and the whole class. No regrets. Iconic.

Music is my therapy. I’m always listening to something that makes my chest ache in a good way. Here’s my current emotional playlist:

🎧 Everlong – Foo Fighters

🎧 Tongue Tied – Grouplove

🎧 Champagne Coast – Blood Orange

🎧 Kids – MGMT

🎧 Midnight City – M83

I don’t really know where I’m going yet. I want to be an industrial designer, or maybe an English teacher. Something that lets me create and also connect.

I care a lot — sometimes too much — even when I pretend to be chill. People usually describe me as cool, chill, and fun, but I feel like I’m made of a thousand soft emotions I don’t always talk about.

I live in a state of nostalgia. Always missing things before they’re gone.

My dream room? Easy: a gigantic bed, no ceiling light (ew), just ambient glowy lamps and soft rain outside the window. That’s peace. That’s home. I crack my ankles constantly.

I gleek. I move my ears. I’m full of tiny useless superpowers and I love that for me.

If I could leave one sentence behind in this world, I’m not sure what it’d be yet — but maybe I’d borrow this lyric: “You bleed just to know you're alive.” – Goo Goo Dolls.

Blue is my color lately. Blue like the sky before a storm. Blue like quiet. Blue like the feeling of hugging someone you missed too much for too long. Anyway. That’s me.

Talk to me if you feel like it. I’m really friendly, I swear. Just don’t turn on the big light — I’ll vanish like a ghost.

---- If you read this far, I hope you’re having the kind of day that feels like your favorite hoodie and your favorite song at the same time. 🖤
