Hey there! This month, I am joined by my good friend, Ousu! We kick this episode off, of course, with the tea talk (cinnamon-apple tea in green and pink mugs). Then, I ask Ousu a few basic questions to get to know her, revolving around how we met, general info, how she defines herself and her life philosophy. Next, we dive into music by how she got into it, how she has practiced it, what it means to her and how it has helped her. Afterward, we talk about Ousu’s manual art: her story with creation, inspiration, and activism. Since Sofía will major in literature, we cover why she writes, how she makes it so unique, what she wants to shed a light on, if she sees it as therapy, how she deals with writer’s block, and why literature is the major for her. To continue, we share our story with the quote “everything happens for a reason”, how we use it in struggles, why we believe this, what it means to us, where it comes from, and how it’s what we need to hear. Of course, Ousu and I talk about our friendship, how we don’t see or talk frequently, our families, bonding points, what we’ve learnt from our relationship, how we’ve helped each other in tough times, and how we’re there for one another. Finally, Sofi recommends two musicians and says where you can find her, before signing off.
