Hi! My name is Sofia, I’m 18 years old, and I’m just beginning to truly discover who I am. I’m not perfect. I often doubt myself, procrastinate, and worry that I won’t succeed. But I’m trying. Every day I learn how to be myself — not the version others expect me to be, but the version that feels true to me. Honest. Stubborn. A little weird. Real. I love photographing people, capturing genuine emotions. It’s a hobby that helps me understand others better. And I absolutely love music. Without it, my days would be way too quiet. Sometimes it feels like the answers to my questions are hidden in the lyrics. I don’t know exactly who I’ll be in five years. But I do know the kind of person I want to become — someone who doesn’t live by a script, who searches for their place in the world, who isn’t afraid to make mistakes and keep going. This is me. Sofia, 18. Just beginning to truly live.
