Get to know me

A quiet life, a heavy heart, and a creative spirit learning to breathe again.

Hi, I’m Christina, the empath behind Pretty’s Prints — a little corner of the internet made for sensitive souls, quiet creators, overwhelmed minds, and anyone who’s ever felt like they’re carrying more than they can say out loud

I’m a chronically depressed, introverted empath who feels everything a little too deeply, loves a little too hard, and needs more rest than the world seems designed for.

For years, I thought those parts of me were weaknesses. Now, they’re the reason this space exists.

Here, I share the things that keep me grounded on the days my brain feels heavy:

soft routines, gentle planning, low-energy creativity, cozy living, emotional wellness, and ways to protect your energy when life won’t stop demanding it.

What you'll find here

This blog is for anyone who feels:

• overwhelmed by noise

• exhausted by people

• drained by absorbing everyone else’s emotions

• stuck between wanting to heal and barely having the energy to cope

• creative but chronically tired

• spiritual but not religious

• alone, even in a room full of people

You’ll find:

low-energy coping tools

introvert-friendly routines

creative outlets that don’t require perfection

coloring pages & journaling prompts

nervous system and emotional first-aid practices

cozy lifestyle ideas for small, quiet lives

soft spirituality for those walking their own path

This is not a space for hustle culture, toxic positivity, or pretending everything is fine.

It’s a space for real humans who feel deeply.

Why I create

Because I know what it’s like to wake up already tired.

To give your all and still feel empty.

To be the strong one even when you’re breaking inside.

To heal without support.

To parent while fighting depression.

To try again and again when life feels impossibly heavy.

Creating became my way of surviving and eventually, my way of helping others survive too.

Every printable, coloring page, journal prompt, blog post, or cozy idea I share is something that has helped me through the darkest parts of being human.

If it can help you feel even 1% lighter, calmer, or more understood, then it’s worth it.

A quiet note from me to you

If you’re here, you’re probably tired emotionally, mentally, spiritually.

You don’t have to pretend with me.

You don’t have to be “on.”

You don’t have to be okay.

Just take what you need.

Rest when you need.

Come back whenever you’re ready.

You’re not alone here — not in the deep feelings, not in the overwhelm, not in the quiet.

Welcome to Pretty’s Prints.

A soft place for tender hearts.

A cozy home for sensitive souls.

A small light in the kind of darkness we never talk about enough.
