Rec | HI, I'M ASHLEY :-)

🦀

I'm 28 (soon to be 29) and think 29 is a stupid birthday. I kind of wish I could skip straight to 30. I'm a Cancer, and I cry a lot when I'm sad or happy or angry (possibly related to being a Cancer, depending on what you believe). I was born in a small town in Illinois, but have lived in San Antonio, TX, for most of my life. I am the older sister of one brother. My best friend Kari and I met when we were 11, and I love her dearly! I work in marketing at a public garden and mostly design for print (I am passionate about editorial design). I also love to write and studied writing in college. Chronically online. Weird question: Who remembers Gaia Online? Lol. I'm living on my own for the first time in my life! It's strange. Sometimes, I feel like this is how it was always meant to be, but I also crave the village! What can I say? I love people. I read a lot. I love to laugh. I'm obsessed with my dog Ruby. I go to a lot of concerts and shows. I love to cook. I rollerskate all the time. My favorite color is orange. I'm also doing a no spend year (ask me about it)! Chronic over thinker, but I'm working on it. Errmmmm, yeah I guess that's the basics? I don't know.

hello and the best i can give

im not quite sure who exactly i am and i think its an impossible question for any individual to truly answer but ill do my best. i’m not gonna give my name bc choc_orange does the job but i’m 20 years old and 5”8/9. i have long brown hair and dark eyes, im a pisces and the youngest of 5. I was raised on a small holding with lots of animals; donkeys, sheep, ducks, chickens, a horse, dogs and a cat. i went to an all girls school in a city and didn’t do well socially but always had a few friends. i love to sew and have done casually since i was about 4 years old. i struggle with feeling cripplingly lonely pretty much all the time. i love national trust homes and gardens and am contemplating a membership. i’ve never had a boyfriend or girlfriend and im pretty insecure about it, people usually assume there’s something wrong with you when you tell them (which maybe there is!??) i’m a bartender and don’t yet know what my career plan is which scares me. i have chronic fatigue/ ME i love Love LOVE walking i have an extremely terrible fear i’m romantically unloveable. also my sister is my best friend and im pretty sure we were a delayed split egg or something (dont tell me this is biologically impossible)

HELLO

I’m Nancy 👋🏻 I’m going to be 30 this month, which is both exciting and terrifying for whatever arbitrary meaning we put onto that age. I’m a musician and writer, and a dedicated aunt to my niece (age 3) and nephew (age 1). I’m a partner, a friend, an avid reader, sometimes gardener, knitter, plant mum, hobby collector. I have a masters in philosophy and a big tattoo of Plato on my leg. I have struggled with my mental and physical health most of my life and recently found out I am autistic, which explains a lot of it! I feel everything very deeply. I have M.E. so I’m often housebound, so it’s a good job that I love watching films and TV and reading books and playing video games and logging it all. I like making lists. The best thing I have ever made was my long E.P. that released last year and I’ve linked above, it got me longlisted for the Glastonbury emerging talent prize and rated no lower than 4/5 in any of its reviews. I’m still figuring out what to make next and how I’ll ever make something as good again (totally not having a crisis about it). Here is a recent photo of me wondering how I was blonde for so much of my life when black hair feels so me.
