my name is maya (they/them). i study in sociology, communication, and gender sexuality feminism and social justice. i'm fluent in french and english.
i've been writing for as long as i remember, from diary entries to poetry and culture articles. i believe it comes from this compulsion to document my life. either in words or photographs, hence why i call myself a collector. some things i like collecting: journals, cds, autumn leaves, business cards.
in my free time, i like to experiment with graphic design, dance to live music, solo travel, play cozy video games, and sit on park benches with my friends. i read around 50 books per year, here are some all-time favourites:
