i'm not really looking for pity! i think it's a natural response to feel sorry for someone you're fond of when you hear of a negative experience they've had but i would never expect it. i wouldn't change anything about my life, the good nor the bad. i am who i am today because i am shaped by everything i've ever experienced. and i may not be the happiest of people, but i am content with the life i'm living, and confident in my ability to change the things i don't like about it. i just enjoy sharing the experiences i've had in my life, simple as that. it helps me to feel real.

I am leaving these up for interpretation. please suggest your thoughts and feelings <3

when i was growing up i sounded like everyone else but because we were homeschooled our whole life, my mom was a bit neurotic about us coming off as uneducated because of the way we spoke so she kind of drilled it out of us as we got older. i still have an accent when i go home but i'm very self conscious about my accent and am kind of stuck in permanent "customer service" voice with everyone who doesn't speak like me. i love my regional accent and i feel disconnected from my culture when i don't speak with it but then i'm also very embarrassed in a way to let it slip around people not from the south. it's kind of a strange push and pull to be caught in the middle of. it's definitely one of those deeply engrained things though, i always find myself speaking as "eloquently" as possible because i don't want people to think i'm unintelligent, which is something i don't love about myself. long live the north florida cracker accent.

"grew up online as a fighter" traumatized me

my stomach is literally tore up and has been since i was like 6 lol, it has never given me a moment of peace

wheat and cornfields are beautiful but i appreciate them more from afar, whereas fields of wildgrass are more enjoyable to walk through for me. dry lakebeds are really cool too
