[xiii] i hoped you didn't know~ // tag 5.0

A few days ago I was tagged by the lovely jeanNaomine!!  They're absolutely hilarious and kind and their writing is beautiful as well; drop by their profile to read those gorgeous books~!

1. what is my personality really like inside and out?
I've always been pretty quiet and shy.  Sometimes this comes across as aloofness, which isn't inherently wrong, but I'm glad that most people consider me fairly kind once they get to know me.  I'm an extreme academic perfectionist and school consumes most of my life; my social skills are and always have been poor at best.  I'm afraid of people, but at the same time fascinated by them.  The few outgoing bursts I've had have led me to meet some of the most amazing people, though - like you all - and so I'm glad for those sparse times. c:

2. how would i describe myself?
Book-smart, naïve,  relatively awkward, attempts to be kind and make everyone feel loved but isn't always quite sure how it works out.  Wants to see her friends happy because they deserve the world and so so so much more.  Way more comfortable online than in real life.

3. what makes you happy in your life?
Listening to music, reading books (including fics on here!), drawing, and all my wonderful pets.

4. what's something that you love about yourself?
I'd say my hair. 

5. what's something that you hate about yourself?
The fact that it feels like I've got a million different versions of my personality but I seem to have lost the original one along the way? That makes no sense whOops - basically not really comfortable with myself at times aha cx

6. what is your favorite anime?
Attack on Titan, Haikyuu!!, Free!, Kiznaiver, and so many more...!

7. is there anything that has changed you?
A lot of things have.  Moving, whether between houses, states, or schools; friends; bad situations and good situations alike. c:

8. do you have bipolar disorder or suicidal thoughts?
time for a hold-up.

i want you to know - yes, you, reading this, whoever you may be, wherever you may reside - you are beautiful, lovely, talented, kind, supportive, sweet, and there are many people in this world, whether you may know it or not, who love you, really and truly.  you are always more than what you may think.  and if you are ever in need of someone to talk to or joke around with or take your mind off things, i'm here to do my best to help, because regardless of who you are you deserve to be happy. and even if i can't give you happiness, if i can make you laugh, or smile, or at least think a happy thought, i hope that i can, in some way, keep you company. <3

TL;DR: you're an amazing person and I love you.

9. what do you dislike in this world?
Stress, cruelty, sadness, anger, that whole mix of awfulness.

10. what do you like in this world?
Kindness, love, writing, drawing, music, friends, etc...~!

11. what is your zodiac sign?
Scorpio~! November 16th.

12. what do you wanna be when you get older?
A forensic pathologist (as well as an artist and author.)

13. what is your favorite book?
The entire Harry Potter series, I'd say.

I tag whoever would like to partake in this; my questions are in an earlier chapter ^-^

With love,
