I’m Victoria. Welcome to The Hopeful Romantic.

I am a 23 year old who literally can’t shut up if I tried. I love reading, music, laughing, slow burns, bragging about the people I love, dance parties when I’m home alone, enemies to lovers, learning how my brain works, oversharing, and being chronically online.

Writing has always been my favorite outlet when going through times of change. Which, as a perfectionist first child with OCD, I don’t handle well. Shocker. Now felt like a good time to put my thoughts down on a page.

My goal is to write whatever feels right. There won’t be much rhyme or reason to it all, but that’s kind of the point. That pretty accurately reflects my brain so we are just going to go with it. As I navigate my 20s, one of my biggest goals is finding positives in everything.

As Taylor Swift would say, to live for the hope of it all… or something like that. Whilst I attempt to romanticize my life, I think I’ll hang out here for a bit and share my thoughts with whoever stumbles upon this blog. Maybe make some people laugh, if we’re lucky. Give a book recommendation here or there.

Who knows, but I’m hopeful and happy to be here!
