Man, looking back at my profile it's almost funny how things went. Full disclosure, my life's been pretty turbulent. I've dealt with homelessness, bigoted family, abusive partners, and a generally unhelpful state. I'm currently transitioning houses once again and found myself reflecting.

I'm thankful for the people I've met on the internet, the ones who have supported me throughout it all. I know I've been difficult, stubborn in my refusal to ask for help and adamant in my unworthiness. Thank you for showing me the toxic places in my life and for seeing the value that I couldn't. Thank you for taking me seriously and respecting my boundaries... And for putting up with my bouts of emotional vomit. Regardless of what happens next, you have helped me to become resilient, aware, and determined. You helped me become a person.

I step forward and I find myself with a desire I often pursued, but never experienced. I want to create things, to define myself, to captivate listeners and provide a place of cultivation. I feel a great love for the world. Such desires would have terrified me a few weeks ago. I've been tempered by the compassion and the fury of my friends.

I am unsure if I will progress using this profile or start something new entirely, but to whom it may concern: I'm doing just fine.

I'm unsure of how much personal info I'd like to share on here. I've always been a bit shy and that's something I'd like to work on in this new leaf. I apologize ahead of time for any awkwardness and confusion I cause, but I'll do my best to stay honest and say what I need to say... Geez, I sound like a robot. Part of the learning experience, I guess. Anyways, nice meeting you all and thank you for checking out the older journals. I plan to update them fairly regularly.

Alright, here goes nothing... (wall of text incoming, tldr at the bottom)

Hey hey, dormant account waking up here. I'm trying to get into a new lifestyle and I'll be getting the internet on soon. To commemorate this, I wanted to practice writing more. I've spent much of my time reading, watching YouTube, and daydreaming. This is just me trying to make something useful of it. I fully expect to get eaten alive in the comments and I welcome it. I want your criticism, I want to improve. I plan on keeping myself busy in an attempt to break my previous procrastination. I want to explore ideas and eventually make a world for others to join and take part in building onto it. That may not be for a good while, but I look forward to every step it takes to get there. Feel free to pm me if you wanna talk, I'll try to respond ASAP.

TLDR: newb writer seeking criticism.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
