# About me

"You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if only you dared."

Howdy guys, gals and non-binary pals! My name is Hope – well, my internet name is, anyhow. My real name is Abby but honestly I answer to most things, including variations of my deviantART username! I’m an INFJ 19-year-old cis female (she/her/hers) who lives in Australia and really loves everything a bit too much. I also really like puns, and while I’m not great at them I tend to use a few daily.

I have a certain love for music. Some of my favourite musicians at the moment include Peter Hollens, Gabrielle Aplin, Imagine Dragons and Bastille, but my all-time favourite musician is easily Lin-Manuel Miranda. His musicals Hamilton and In the Heights have changed my life for the better – an exaggeration, maybe, but it certainly doesn’t feel it. I also am obsessed with the game Undertale, and its spin-off AU Flowerfell.

Last year I started doing a Bachelor of Arts, studying a range of things like writing, history, biology and drama. In grade six we went to the CSIRO for an excursion, and from then I’d always wanted to be a forensic scientist or have a similar job in the crime force, but recently I’ve starting investing in the idea of following my mother’s footsteps into midwifery. I'm pursuing that interest now, and loving every second of it - though I’ve still got a lifetime ahead of me to sort it out.

I do write a lot, though. Like, a lot. I have a small bunch of super detailed characters, each of whom I love with my life. If you’re curious, feel free to check my CharaHub to learn more about them, or simply ask me! I could talk about each of them for days on end, and even plan to maybe publish a novel one day for at least one of them. My biggest inspiration in the writing world is Sarah J Maas, and specifically her Throne of Glass series.

Sometimes I write poems, though, and that’s normally a sign that I’m not mentally well. I’ve had clinical anxiety for several years now and since mid-2016 I’ve had touches of depression. It’s not been pleasant and I’m working through it, but much like anyone else who suffers any sort of mental illness or disability it takes a lot of time and hard work to heal, and that you often have to backtrack to get better. It’s messy, and it sucks, but it will one day get better.

I have several phenomenal friends who help me in my worst moments, and while there’s no way to thank every last one of them I’d like to give a ginormous shout-out to my best friends Chloe and Jada, and also to people here like Mythiril and Vuurstern . Y’all help make the burden that little easier to bear x

While this doesn’t even cover half of who I am, I’ll sign off here. I wish to give a huge thank you to every visitor, every friend and every stranger on this website, and out there in the world. I’m thankful for each and every one of you <3 Please never hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns – I’ve been told I’m a good listener!

Kisses x
