Just looking for friends and a place to speak my mind ;)

Newfound obsession with poetry;

Tbh never thought much about poetry until I read a poem that seemed so pure and from the soul of its writer it made me feel good in my heart.

Drawing is really annoying sometimes.

I like to draw from time to time, not as much anymore, but the thing I hate most about drawing is the eyes; specifically, the second one. I don't care how talented you are, everyone has done the thing where they draw one eye and it's absolutely perfect and then you draw the second one and it's total garbage. Either the angle is off, or it's the direction, or the proportion, then you have to cover it up partially with hair or something else. It's annoying as hell and makes me rage quit every time. I know I'm not the only one who does this.

Does anyone ever forget a word just before they write it down?

Sometimes I'll be writing and I'll come up with the perfect sentence, and as I'm writing it down the one word that made the sentence perfect will literally vanish from my brain just as I am about to write it down. It is absolutely infuriating and it's driving me crazy. I'm like, "You had one job, Brain!" and my brain is just, "..."

I couldn't find a bottle opener to open my classic glass bottle of Coca-Cola; so I tried to be like MacGyver and use a spoon to "Improvise". Now my finger is bleeding all over the floor and table cause I sliced it open on the cap somehow.... but at least I can drink my Coca-Cola, right?

Attack on Titan just ended and I don't know how to handle it.

Attack on Titan was the first anime I ever watched and the first manga I ever read. It has filled my teenage life with so much joy and happiness for the four years that I've been following the series. I grew so close to the characters and the story that I will never forget it, even as it finally comes to an end. Thank you to the amazing, so very talented Hajime Isayama for allowing us to join his incredibly strong, inspiring, and unique characters on the one of a kind journey that is Attack on Titan.

Writing advise is not helpful.

I love writing; I write almost everyday, but I absolutely hate the advise and tips some people post. There are so many posts of people saying how to and not to write. The way I see it, you should just write however you want. Your writing is part of you, if you wouldn't listen to people who tell you to change who you are then why should you let them tell you to change how you write.

There is definitely good advise out there, but its mainly about grammar rules and how to ensure you actually finish your piece. "Appealing writing styles" or "scenario do's and don't's" isn't advise; its opinion. Every style is appealing to a certain audience and it's a direct connection to you as a person. And besides some of the greatest books start with or include some of the most cheesy, stereotypical, cliché situations you could find.

Write however you want to; get your entire story down before you try to fix it. Writing is an extension of you as a person. If you wouldn't let someone tell you to change yourself then don't let them tell you to change your writing.

I Hate Tests, Period.

I do surprisingly well on tests even though I don't really study for them until I have less than 24 hours till said test. The idea of having a test gives me too much anxiety to really focus on studying anyways so I've literally been winging my way through school all my life.

Doing the laundry is awesome.

Especially when you have to fold it after the dryer. Its basically an excuse to sit on the couch surrounded by warm clothes and do nothing for an hour.

Plants are the best kind of friends you can have.

Easter is hectic.

I’m four-fifths Ukrainian. That means every holiday, especially religious holidays, is a million times busier than it has to be. Just picture My Big Fat Greek Wedding, just Ukrainian. We eat like Hobbits, there are multiple conversations going on in different languages, and you get smothered by hugs and kisses. Its completely chaotic, but its part of who I am; I’m proud of it. Besides who wouldn’t want free hugs and tons of food?

I’m impulsive.

 I bought a PS4 just because I liked the graphics of FF7 Remake. I bought a $500 electric guitar just cause I happened to walk by a guitar store after watching Frank Iero rock out all night. I bought 9 plants just because i thought they were cute. I would not call myself impulsive, but I’m totally impulsive.

Hardcover books are superior

I have plenty of paperback books, i mean they’re convenient and affordable but I’ve always felt like Hardcover books are just the better of the books. It makes them seem important. All of my favorite books and book series are hardcover.

Does anyone ever just... snort a book?

Is it just me or is the smell of a book the literal essence of heaven? I’ll be reading and then I just faceplant into the book. I can’t be the only one can I?

Why I joined Tumblr

I’m joining Tumblr because I want to express myself without worrying about what people will think of me. Tumblr for some people is a place to be free and discover new people. That’s what I’m hoping to find here, a safe place to just be me, and maybe find a few people to relate to.

Little something about me

I’m a nearly 18 year old girl from rural Wisconsin. I like anime, I’m a book addict, and I’ve got more than a few strange hobbies. Art and English are my life, but Science hits home. Music is my medicine, event though it tends to make people question my sanity (I have bipolar playlists). Hoping to make some friends just as quirky as me.

Greetings, Tumblr

This is my first time on tumblr and I have no idea what to do. Wish me luck!
