So who am I? And what do I do?
I’ve always been the worst with introducing myself. A few years ago when I first met my boyfriend at the times parents— I freaked at the first encounter. What can I say that will make me sound as interesting and intelligent as humanly possible?? Suddenly you start thinking that everything you do and every value you have sounds lame af. Luckily I happen to write the catch phrase “fake it till you make it” all over my metaphorical playbook for talking to new people. And it kinda works?
So I’m Lily. I’m a Gemini— the sign of twins. And though I’m not into star signs and astrology (fuck pseudoscience) I DO have the habit of mimicking certain behaviours of those I’m really close to. I have my best friend to thank for me saying “bro” a little too much, my mum to thank for my sarcasm, and even a past best friend for me saying “...hey?” Instead of “...what?”
I’m a vegan, obviously, but we’ll talk more about that over the course of this year.
I first started blogging when I was in year 9 or 10, but was never able to stick with it. Either my values changed and I didn’t feel like deleting all the posts, so I’d abandon it— or I would be so over the look of it and want something new and fresh. But I’ve always loved writing and more than that, I’ve always loved SHARING everything. My thoughts, my experiences, the only thing I don’t like sharing is my food. Unless I REALLY love you
To make this getting to know you post a lil’ easier, I thought the best thing to do would be to just write up a fact file about myself. Sounds better right? Here we go!
