Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18
Things and Thoughts was born from a desire to share pieces of my world — my interests, personal stories, reflections on current events, and everything in between. I’ve always been drawn to blogs and the way people express themselves so honestly through words and images. That inspiration is what led me to create this space of my own.
Here, I explore topics close to my heart: culture, community, personal growth, style, and the everyday journey of living as a child of God in a modern world. As I continue to grow into the woman I’m called to be, I hope you'll walk with me through the process.
Thanks for being here — there’s so much more ahead.

I truly believe that what we take in daily shapes our thoughts, our mood, and ultimately, our lives. My intention is to create content that inspires a joyful, balanced, and fulfilling lifestyle — whether I’m sharing about beauty, food, faith, or fashion.
Hey, I’m Nora!Some of my favorite things in the world are reading poetry and blogs, taking photos, listening to podcasts, and watching true crime shows.
I started this blog because I’ve always felt a natural urge to document my life and express myself creatively. In short — though not limited to this — I’m a Believer, makeup lover, hair enthusiast, and photography fanatic. I originally created this journal back in 2014 as a visual outlet for my thoughts and a place to work on personal projects that truly inspire me. Over time, it's grown into a space to explore all the possibilities of content creation.
Photography has always fascinated me — I’ve been capturing interesting things for years, but only recently started to take it seriously. I’m proud of the content I share on Instagram and pour 100% effort into every part of the process: from planning the shoot, to snapping the shot, to editing and sharing it. I want every social platform I’m on to reflect the most creative version of me. If you're into beautiful visuals and aesthetic vibes, you’ll probably love what I post on Instagram.
Right now, I’m passionate about blogging on topics like culture, faith, lifestyle, mental health, and social equality — subjects that are deeply meaningful to me. One thing I’ve always believed is this: “There is enough room for everyone to thrive on Instagram.” And it’s true — the internet holds endless opportunities, no matter who you are or where you're starting from.
