So you’re probably wondering, “Sori, why would you spend hours and hours every few days to work on something for other people? And what’s in it for you?” Well here’s where you get to learn more about me, and why this blog even exists!
Why I Started the Blog
This text was meant for each row to be read from left to right before moving downwards. That was you won’t have to scroll up and down just to get back to the top.
Every time I open my computer to edit this blog, I think to myself, “I could be getting a job and making some money right now”. But you know what? I wouldn’t be allowed to get a job anyways because my mental health is currently sh*t and I need to focus on improving it. Hence, this site.
I’ve always wanted to own a website or blog, so I guess you could say that out of this blog I get the ability to achieve one of my biggest dreams.
I figured the easiest way for me to process my feelings was to type some of them up, and the easiest way for me to relive stress and forget about all my problems was to create something.
So I started this! Originally it was meant for me to get out all of my feelings. But now I realize that I also want to share useful information with other people and not just talk about myself (which I’ll still do from time to time). So yeah!
A Bit About Me
I know there’s a brief bio on the right side of the blog, but here I’ll share some more details about me.
How old are you?
I’m GenZ and I’m in school. Which type of school? Who knows. But I am a teenager, so do with all of that info what you will. 🙂
What’s your favorite color?
Blue! All shades of blue! And purple and green. But not orange. For some reason I hate that color. I’m not sure why but I just don’t like it.
Are you short or tall?
5’2″. Yes I’m shorter than the average US female. But short people help the environment!
What’s your zodiac sign?
I’m an Aries. I’m extremely stubborn and I agree with some of the stuff people say about my sign, but I don’t know a ton about the topic. And my Chinese zodiac is the Ox which again, completely agree with because I’m stubborn and hard-headed.
Are you dating someone????????? 😚😚😚
Nope. I’m lonely. So much so that I write multiple articles about it.
Do you have any hobbies?
CROCHET. I CROCHET. I CROCHET A LOT. I’m also learning Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, but I know more Mandarin since that’s the one I started first. I also like to do a lot of online shopping. I don’t always buy something but it’s still fun. Oh and I almost forgot! Building LEGO sets! A very expensive hobby that I can only partake in during my birthday and Christmas, but still! And then there’s reading, writing, blogging, sewing, flute, entrepreneurship, pin collecting…
Care to share some of your mental health diagnosises? (how is that supposed to be spelled?? diagnosiss? diagnosis’? 🤷)
But of course! I’ve been diagnosed with Severe Depression and something called Cyclothymia, which is pretty much Bipolar 3. I’ve also struggled with Anxiety and Social Anxiety. For the most part things have been under control since I started taking medication, but I still have a lot of highs and lows (with about 75% of them being lows unfortunately).
Favorite show or genre of television?
I LOVE anime. My favorite is a four-way tie between Demon Slayer, Fruits Basket, Classroom of the Elite, and Assassination Classroom. I also watch all the Bachelor Nation stuff, as well as RuPaul’s Drag Race, The Amazing Race, and Survivor. So I can’t just choose one show! 🙂 And that’s not even mentioning Disney, Disney XD, Cartoon Network, and that type of stuff! Owl House, Miraculous Ladybug, Teen Titans GO!, anyone? (yes, yes I know how some people feel about Teen Titans Go! and the original Teen Titans but I grew up with the reboot and it will always hold a special place in my heart 🥰)
What’s your family dynamic like?
I live with my mom and my lil’ doggie sis. My dad, step-mom, and half-sisters live in another state. My parents separated when I was either 2 or 3, so I don’t have any memories of them when they were together. I should really visit my dad more often but I stopped going for the summers a few years ago because it was too much emotionally. That was before I knew about my mental health. Now I understand why I was the way that I was back then, so I’m going to try and visit more often. At the very least so I can be a part of my sisters’ lives.
How much sleep do you get on average? And don’t try to lie.
It varies based on if I took my meds, found a new Webtoon series, or got my creative and/or productive juices flowing. Sometimes I can sleep through the night without help if I’m just that tired. Most of the time I either need medicine or Melatonin gummies, which there’s a chance that they don’t even work because I want to continue to be productive so I just ignore their effect.. And sometimes, I stay awake throughout the whole night, and sleep a lot during the day. Almost like an owl. Hoot hoot!
