ABOUT
With Love, Cecilia
Who am I?
Hi everyone!
Welcome to ‘with love, cecilia’ - your one-stop station to everything about me!
My name is Cecilia Xu and I am a prospective writer and avid musician from Melbourne, Australia. Since I was little, I’ve loved to write but as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realised that the opportunities to write and share my stories freely as a teenager are incredibly limited. Although English is one of my favourite subjects, I wished that there was a way that I could write without the confines of a classroom and school essay topics. Thus, after a long while of procrastination, I decided to start this page!
This website is a way of sharing my opinions and views with other young people who may share the same interests as me. I hope to build an online community where I can openly express myself whilst sharing my little quirks and thoughts with the world!
Thank you for visiting and happy reading and discovering!
love,
Cecilia (◕‿◕✿)

I also love to write about anything and everything! Whether it’s short stories, opinion pieces or research papers, I love just sitting down after a long day and ‘brain-dumping’ onto a google doc! You can read some of my recent work on the ‘blog’ section.
Recently, I’ve discovered that I have a deep passion for studying languages! I study Chinese, French and English (ofc) and idk, everything just clicks for me. I also enjoy exploring different cultures and connecting with others who speak these languages.

Although I am a teenager approaching her final year in high school, I am still not entirely certain on what career path I would like to take in the future. However, I have a great interest in languages, particularly French, and would love to study that at a university in the US. I also love music and have my sight set on continuing to play my instrument wherever my life takes me! I have also considered a medical pathway where I specialise in paediatrics.
