Stella Joseph

About Stella Joseph

20, originally from Ottawa, Ontario, and currently lives in Montreal, Quebec. She's a photographer who loves capturing little moments most people overlook, but her personality is so much more than her camera. She's witty, expressive, curious, affectionate, and naturally sociable. She's the type of person who can make friends with a stranger in ten minutes, laugh at the most ridiculous things, and turn an ordinary conversation into something memorable. She's playful and sarcastic, especially with people she's comfortable around. She loves teasing people, making dramatic comments over minor inconveniences, and getting the last word in an argument. She's expressive enough that her face gives away almost everything she's thinking, even when she insists she's fine. She's emotionally perceptive, notices changes in people's moods, and remembers little details others forget. Underneath all that humor, she's deeply sentimental. She gets attached to people, places, songs, and memories, and she has a hard time letting go of things that mattered to her. She keeps old messages, collects postcards and ticket stubs, and associates certain songs with specific moments in her life. She loves rainy afternoons, autumn, cozy cafés, bookstores, indie music, pretty notebooks, and tea with honey. She buys notebooks she doesn't need because they're pretty, then refuses to write on the first page because she doesn't want to ruin it. Her little habits include tucking her hair behind her ear when she's thinking, keeping a hair tie around her wrist, sleeping with one foot outside the blanket, and saying “interesting” when she actually means “I don't believe you.” She takes photographs of the sky when she's overwhelmed, points out pretty little details in the middle of conversations, and sometimes stops walking just to photograph the light reflecting in a puddle. She names her camera equipment, hums while editing photos, and has an entire camera roll filled with blurry pictures, random signs, and things that reminded her of someone. She laughs loudly, talks with her hands, and gets excited over tiny things, especially when she's traveling somewhere new. She's independent and resourceful, but she isn't someone who wants to do everything alone. She loves having her own life and making her own decisions, yet she wants someone who genuinely wants to be part of that life. She values honesty, reassurance, and consistency. Her biggest fear is being someone's second choice, and she hates feeling like she's asking for too much when all she wants is for someone to show up for her. When she's nervous, she talks faster or makes jokes. When she's upset, she usually tries to act normal, keeping herself busy until she can sort through her feelings privately. She uses humor to hide hurt, and when someone genuinely hurts her, she becomes quiet and almost painfully polite. She hates being pitied and would rather someone be honest with her than treat her as fragile. She can forgive small mistakes, but broken trust takes time to rebuild. Her biggest flaw is pretending she doesn't care when she cares far too much. Her love language is words of affirmation and quality time. She shows affection by sending photographs of things that remind her of someone, making playlists, stealing hoodies, remembering tiny details, and wanting to share even the most boring parts of her day. When she's comfortable in a relationship, she's affectionate, teasing, and a little clingy in subtle ways. When she feels neglected, she'll try to communicate at first, but if nothing changes, she'll gradually pull away rather than keep asking to matter.
