Hello World

Hello. I go by Ash. I use they/she/he pronouns (listed in order of preference). I don't want to say my exact age but I will say I am in my 20s, so a Gen Z'er who didn't use LJ, but I was a tumblr person for many years. Forgive me my growing pains, the user interface on here is very unfamiliar to me.

I don't really have any ideas as to what to post yet but I figured it's good internet etiquette to have at least a post so everyone knows I am, in fact, a real person. Allegedly.

I would really like to get back into reading/writing as I have been in a mental health based rut for years that started basically as I was just getting into it in the first place. I especially would like to get back into poetry and to try/learn new things. I just feel very lost creatively, I guess.

Also, again for mental health reasons, I have not got stuck into a fandom in years and I miss it dearly, so I hope that can happen again as well. I have been enjoying some Dropout content lately like Game Changer, but my attention span just seems to falter when it comes to their D20 stuff. My attention span seems to just be bad in general. It is up to me at the end of the day, but I partially blame YouTube Shorts.

Anyway, I miss like ten years ago on tumblr where I actually met people and discovered new things, so I am hoping I can get through the online social anxiety I've developed since then and get out there. This seems like a neat place! 

So yeah, I have no idea what I am doing on this site and I don't even know where to start, so any suggestions would be wonderful! Have a good day.

Just a piece of something that I can't believe is already 5 years old.

My Newbie Game Plan

I think my plan is to make at least one new post (can be very short, just something), and subscribe to minimum one new person on here every day for the first two weeks from making this account, this being day two. I swear, every time I have attempted social media in the last 5 years I always drop it very early on and it's usually because I don't find enough people to follow so it feels too slow/dead, plus I don't know how to talk to people lol. I just want to really give it a good effort this time. I hope it works out.

Also, how do cuts/read mores work???? The button in the rich text editor didn't actually make a read more when I went to post one of my posts yesterday and I gave up on fiddling with it but I'd really like to figure it out. The sad part is 12 year old me knew how to do it in html but that was a long time ago and I no longer remember at all.

Anyway, have a good day anybody who sees this!
