I'd love to work in a bookshop by the sea someday. Not for money, just to be surrounded by stories and kind people. Maybe write a small collection of poems nobody has to read.

I'm Kate, 18 from France. I live in a small town near Lyon, where the streets are quiet and the bakeries smell like heaven. I'm calm but I love deep conversations. Simple things like fresh bread and morning light make me happy.

I like reading novels and doing yoga in my room. Also baking madeleines just for myself on slow weekends. Sometimes I draw little comic strips about everyday life – nothing serious, just for fun.

I think honesty matters more than always being nice. I try to listen without planning my reply. Real friends are those who stay even when I'm quiet or moody.
