Hi, I’m Adriana — a 20-year-old navigating the in-betweens of girlhood, growth, and everything that feels too big to keep inside. The Matte Edit is my unfiltered corner of the internet, where I write raw reflections on mental health, personal development, spirituality, and whatever else I’m still learning. This isn’t a highlight reel — it’s a journal, with all the smudges left in.
This blog isn’t about one topic in particular; just like you, I have many interests, experiences, ideas, and thoughts. My intent is to write about all of it as it comes to me, just like I do in my journal. Only this time, shared on the internet with all of you.
I’m a barista, in college, with dreams of traveling, starting my own business, and pursuing way too many niche hobbies. I like the color red, matcha, going on hot girl walks. I enjoy photography and updating my online shopping cart, but never buying. I am a Pinterest board enthusiast, and making playlists on Spotify is one of my favorite pastimes. There is nothing as great as capturing the exact moment or feeling through a chosen medium, and I hope that by publishing this blog, I will be able to capture a moment or feeling in the life of those reading this. I hope it gives you a sense of being seen.
