Meet Zanie
A Letter For You
Sunday, 4:43pm.
It's early November as I am writing this, and I fear I've always been the worst at introductions. If you have the patience to keep reading, you'll learn that I'm in my early twenties, I have a heart for music and I love art. I love nature and I grew up learning about the different medicinal uses for wild plants, and ever since I can remember I love learning about wild animals and the environment.
I love to dance and right now, I'm trying to learn a mix of hip hop, contemporary and lyrical. I also love to write, whether it's in my journal, creating poetry or working on a new book idea. I used to make up stories for my younger brothers and sisters, and never dropped a pen ever since. When I have the time, I love nothing more than sitting down with some snacks and watching K-dramas with my sister, whom I love so dearly.
I love watching any TV show really, and my all time favorite is Psych, a show about Shawn Spencer, who grew up with a cop and lies to the police department, making them believe he is really a psychic. I also love old movies and am a sucker for a good romance. Have you seen any Jane Austen Movies? I love Pride & Prejudice, and just like Lizzy, when I was little I would walk long distances with a book in my hand.
The past few years have been full of so much change, and I think that sometimes change helps you grow. Art helps me understand my deeper thoughts and feelings, and without music, or stories I would feel so lost.
I should apologize, I'm just as bad at ending a letter as I am at starting one. But I wish only the best for you, and if you love even one of the many things I've vented about on this page, I would love to connect with you.
Yours Truly,
Zanie
My Top Goals For 2026
Travel out of state
Ever since I can remember, I've always loved experiencing new places and learning about different cultures. I love the wilderness so much and I feel most alive when I am lost in the mountains next to a flowing river or standing in front of the ocean. I've been out of state a couple times as a kid, but I would love to travel somewhere far and want to pack in as many road trips as I can.
Finish editing TCP
Sometimes I don't know the depths of my feelings until I start writing them out. At a time when I was going through a lot, I started writing one story as a way to try and make sense of the whirlwind going on around me. I didn't know then that I would later become so connected to the story and its characters, and end up finishing the story. I let it rest for a while, honestly too attached to it to change anything. I feel ready now to go back to it and edit all the plot holes, and make it into a story that maybe others will also be able to love.
Learn the guitar
Writing songs is something I've always loved to do, and I love music so deeply, whenever my feelings get too big, music is right there to pull me through. It's my biggest passion. Out of my past twenty-so years here, I've made a handful of songs, and I would love to go anywhere and take out my guitar. I have a cheap one (not good, I know), but it's a start. And I've started teaching myself different chords, right now I'm learning "New Perspective" by Noah Kahan.
