the lore isn't that deep buuuuuuut reading everyone's responses reminded me that, around the time i was 25, i read something about trolls and online communities, and how the best spaces are the ones where people feel accountable to each other. i think anonymity plays a big influence in that, so i use my real name online because i want to normalize doing so, and also because i want to reduce the distinctions between online eth and irl eth.

if i cant make my handle my full name then im going to veer severely in the other direction. id rather be known by some random string of words or a vague allusion to something i really like than a bastardisation of my name rife with disjointedly placed dots/underscores/numbers in place of letters. it makes u hard to find on social media but who cares? the chase is half the fun anyway.
my ig @ is adventuresclosetohome and every time i give that to someone at a party or wherever they ask what my schtick is. little do they know im covertly signalling to a group of musically likeminded insiders, iykyk!

My username for a long time was a play on my maiden name. I don’t want to share it here because y’all don’t need to know all of my identifying information but my last name essentially was two words that straight up said polluted water. SYMBOLIC AS HELL. Anyway…
I was frolicking through the woods in the PNW and thought “I’m a lil mossy eflie!” And thus mossyelfie was born. Embracing my true nature untethered to generational curses 🌟

I wanted to claim stake to digital real estate and just claim my full name
before I wouldn’t do that and had a history of using diff usernames online so just wanted to switch it up

What happens behind the wheel is, frankly, none of my business. I'd rather spend my time picking songs/sipping coffee/taking in the scene.
Driving is so pedestrian.

I swear to god this shit is too powerful. It doesn’t always work out the way I hoped but the win/loss ratio is definitely in my favour. We are social creatures. We like helping each other. Just do it. Ask me for something if you want. Who knows what I’ll say.
