At this point, I've made two posts that serve as a quick introduction in different communities, and will probably make a few more in the upcoming days, but it's difficult to really convey who you are as a person when just listing different things that you like.
So, who am I?
That's a question I think I'm going to struggle with for the rest of my life, since who I am changes a little everyday. Sometimes, I'm the adult who has no clue what anything is anymore. Others, I'm a dreamer with their eyes set on a clear goal: completing and publishing my writing, so that some day, some kid out there will have something that they can see themselves in, the way that I wish I could have as a child, and continue to wish for now. There will be times when I will lock myself away from the rest of the world, withdrawing deeper into myself until I am lost to myself, and there will be times like now where I'm eager to get to know people. I am very much a person who goes through the motions, my thoughts the tides that both yearn for the world and retreat from it.
Of course, there are some things that remain constant, and some things that are, in theory, a little less abstract than those descriptors above.
For instance, I am Rori, and though this is not the name I was given at birth, it feels more permanent than the one I was born with. I am currently 21, use they/them and she/her pronouns, biracial (African-American and European-American), a biromantic asexual. I'm an English major currently working at a library who is looking into what to do with their future. During my freetime, I enjoy writing, reading, listening to podcasts, and cooking when I can. I've always been rather introverted, but when presented with one of my interests, it takes less time than usual for me to build a connection with someone.
( Here's a good picture of what my current interests are: )
Most of the time, however, I probably won't talk about the stuff I'm interested in unless I'm doing some analysis for it or it's a fandom I'm writing for and I felt like sharing a fic on here. Heck, this list will probably change a bit in just a couple of months.
But back to the introduction, I suppose. I'm someone who tends not to see the best in a situation, but I'm trying to work against that, as there's already so much negativity in the world, and having it as my default has not enhanced my life in any way. There's a lot I don't know, but to me, one of the best things in life is getting to know more about the things you don't know about. I'm hoping not just to find a community here, but also to continue learning about others and the world, to have a true exchange of ideas and information. In other words, I want to start changing for the better.
