About Me

i tend a garden. i dance. sometimes i wish i could hide. it's okay. i'll be fine, as long as i can have a quiet space. i like to travel, but i wish i wasn't so scared of coming home. i feel so silly about that. if i don't fight it is not because i'm weak, but because i'd rather grow things than break stuff. if i do fight... only for my friends or for survival--and i don't lose.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

orthopedic surgeons, crossbow makers, people with access to chem lab equipment, easygoing goths, musicians who can build what they play, costumers who can design and sew what they wear.

After four days of eating cabbage
