LiliSeoKim

My name is Lili SeoKim (or Teshia, I'll use both).

I am super excited to be here! I love snail mail and trading and collecting cool things, especially any kind of art. ❤️

I'm hoping to eventually be a big ATC, penpal letter, and postcard trader! I've been perusing the swaps folks come up with, and I am certain I'll end up getting into even more swap niches as I go.

Some personal info: I'm 35, ADHD, LGBTQ, a mom of 3, and a freelance book editor. I'm literally always exhausted, lol.

I love:

❤️ Stray Kids

❤️ Boba tea

❤️ Coffee

❤️ Sleep

❤️ Reading (historical, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror are my faves)

❤️ Writing (I never finish anything longer than a short story though)

❤️ Language (I will talk your ear off about linguistics if you give me half a chance)

❤️ Collecting

❤️ Creating

❤️ Hyenas

❤️ Bats

❤️ Ravens

❤️ Crows

❤️ Octopuses (octopetes)

❤️ Cats

❤️ Betta fish

❤️ History

❤️ Creepy/morbid stuff

❤️ Halloween

❤️ Witchy things

I'm not sure what else to add, so I'll stop here for now. I'm so excited to meet and swap with you awesome folx! Please don't hesitate to reach out anytime, I'm always happy to hear from anyone!

Stray Kids is my #1 favorite music group ever!

I grew up listening to hip hop, R&B, rap, and top 20 (early 2000s). I also fell into alt, punk, emo, and that sort of music, so up until about 2022 my music playlist would look an awful lot like this:

*Missy Elliott

*Evanescence

*Panic! At the Disco

*Fall Out Boy

*Flyleaf

*Childish Gambino

*Linkin Park

*Papa Roach

*My Chemical Romance

I still love all of this music, but nothing brings me dopamine like Stray Kids.

❤️ Reading: Kaikeyi by Vaishnavi Patel

❤️ Listening to: A playlist that is 98% Stray Kids

❤️ Studying: Hindi

❤️ Watching: Dhurandhar

❤️ Drawing: ATCs

❤️ Collecting:

• Stray Kids PCs

❤️ Debating:

• Storytelling,

• Linguistics,

• Culture,

• History

• Politics (I'd rather not have to, but will when necessary.)

Stray Kids PCs - Specifically Changbin, Seungmin, and Bang Chan (though I collect them all casually!)

Postcards - I currently have 5 awesome postcards that I've received through swaps, and I'm so excited to build my collection even further!

ATCs - I have collected 6 ATCs - 4 drawn by my artistic kiddo (I love them so much) and 2 that I've swapped for through ATCdex. I can't wait to start swapping ATCs here as well!

Washi Tape - I love washi tape so much! I have maybe 30 different types currently. I really love washi samples, and want to fill an entire notebook with just washi one day!

If you need an idea for something to chat about on a postcard or in a letter, I will always love hearing about:

• Your experiences with language. Do you speak anything other than English? Do you have a favorite word, phrase, or quote? Do you think you have an accent (and where is it from)?

• Your most recent reading experience. What did you read? What did you think about it?

• Something that's been on your mind recently. Have you had something casually noodling about in the back of your mind recently? What is it?

• What is something that you don't understand?

• What do you consider yourself an expert on? Are you a "pro" at something?

• What's something you learned recently?

• If you had to sign up for a class on something, what would it be? Why?

I love hearing about what is interesting, fascinating, confusing, and otherwise thought-provoking for people! What's got your brain working overtime lately?

I love and value every single swap I receive.

That being said, I would rather not receive:

• Christianity-based religious things

• American Patriotic themed things
