Hello, it's-a me, ghostxheart. The name is based off a song I like by LM.C. I'm 26 and born and raised and have lived all my life in California. I grew up a nerdy weeb "girl" (I really only felt like a girl when I was really little, I just also always knew I definitely wasn't a boy), watching stuff like Nana, The Twelve Kingdoms, and Naruto (but I never made it past the chunin exams). I love to play RPGs, but haven't always had a system to play them (including now, besides the switch). My favourites growing up were EverQuest 2 (my family was one of the first to play!) and Kingdom Hearts- Dearly Beloved will still make me emotional.
I was "raised" a witch, though what that really means is my dad had a lot of books on the subject and family friends would gift me more, spell books and ritual collections and all sorts of things. My favourite thing to learn about was the fae, but these days, I'm actually technically a Daoist in training. I have a master and he does know I've been suicidal, but he doesn't know I have plans to CTB. I don't have a date yet, so I hope that won't be too much of a deterrent for others.
I love fantasy, but it's been around a decade since I've actually read any fiction- even manga, I did recently read one but it was just the one, and it was Aku No Hana which isn't terribly long. I used to write and even considered starting up again, but I'm a student so I don't actually have much time or mental space. I'm probably autistic and/or ADHD, but my parents were super against me getting any kind of diagnosis like that so it wasn't something I considered until I was an adult, and now I'm far too tired to care about getting a formal evaluation. It's also possible I have BPD, but others seem to struggle more so that's more of an iffy one, but I don't want people to be blind about my situation in case it's something they'd rather not deal with.
I try my best to be kind and I'm generally a very understanding person, so I'm always willing if someone needs to vent or something, though naturally it depends on my personal availability. Sometimes life is overwhelming and I just can't talk to anyone at all. Still, I hope we can be friends regardless.
Oh, and I was trained as a classical violinist for some time. It gave me a great appreciation for music of any and all kinds, from metal, to electronic, to classical (of course), to folk... You name it, I've at least listened to something similar. Music can reach me more than almost anything else, so if that's your jam (ha) then I'm also more than happy to talk about that too.
