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 (◕‿◕✿)
