Hi!
Hello! I'm Isabel, often known as Sable, if you rearrange the letters in Sable, and add an I, you can make Isabel, hence, Sable!
I made this webpage for a number of reasons. It's nice to have a little repository for the things that makes me happy, as well as the things that make me feel not so happy. Places to put my recipes, thoughts, and somewhere to broadcast, to nobody at all, how my heart is feeling. I usually journal in an app on my phone but the interface doesn't give me a concrete place to muse about my feelings, and just asks for my day to day thoughts, which can be unhelpful. I don't think anyone's feelings can be summarised into a happiness meter, or be viewed in isolation from day to day.
I hope this is a better format for expressing how I feel to myself. I have lost so much recently, but also gained. I want this website to be a living evolution of who I am as a person, and it is something that I wish I would have made sooner. I think making this would have been terrifying to a me of 5 years ago, 2 years ago, 1 year ago, a few months ago, but that's a very good reason to make one.
It is also nice that my girlfriend has one of these as well, hi
Vivi!
Hobbies
I have a myraid of hobbies, some of which I put more effort into than others. I have a tendency to take hobbies, or personality traits, from those that I have fallen in love with, or who I otherwise feel fondly towards. It makes me happy that I have a permanent
example of their presence within my mind.
Some interests include: cooking, journaling, climbing, music production, EDM, tourism, and football. I am sure the list will grow as I meet more people, and am introduced to new things, it might even shorten, but I'll always have the memories of doing it.
Writings
Creative writing was one of my favourite topics during my time at school, but this fell off heavily once I began repressing, much like many of the hobbies that made me happy.
I have always had a little complex over wanting to contribute things to the world, even if it is just written text that might cause feelings in people, that is more than enough for me. This website is an excellent opportunities to put my writings somewhere that can be read, but not overly critiqued.
Cooking + Recipes
I learnt to cook from a fairly young age, if you count chopping up vegetables for my Dad's meals. I used to see cooking as just a way of ensuring self-sufficiency in a world that punishes you if you become reliant on someone or something else.
Only since transitioning, and beginning to discover what love is, in all its forms, have I treated cooking more as a way of showing love. Both for those I want to share it with, and myself.
The recipes tab will have some of my favourite recipes, each with a little story about its significance to me.
