Hey Sheepies!
I realized I've been writing up here for a year, and yet I've never really told you anything about myself. So here's just a little extra about me!
Also I got this idea from Lithium80
Love you bestie!
General Info:
My name is Haley. I'm just a year younger than Joseph Quinn. I'm from the U.S. My favorite color is purple. Breakfast for dinner is my favorite meal. I'm allergic to yellow food dye, most laundry detergents, and grass. I'm vegetarian, have been for a year due to some health problems that started last year. I'm obsessed with all animals. I have one dog who I'm pretty sure is my soul dog. My mom is my best friend. My favorite song changes every month. Right now its Couch by Dexter and The Moonrocks. Iron Maiden is my favorite band at the moment. My mom is my best friend. I'm very quiet and introverted around most people. Only the ones closest to me get to my true self. I love to make people laugh, even if I can't manage to make myself. I've struggled with anxiety and depression since I was 15. Due to my anxiety I'm always in a constant state of discomfort when I'm away from home. So when I am home I'm big on comfort. I have a comfort blanket I sleep with every night. I have comfort movies I watch when my anxiety is triggered. I have a comfort show and character. Stranger Things, and Eddie Munson. I spend 83% of my time alone. I have no significant other, no friends that live close by. So I write to escape my lonely life, and create one where there's an abundance of love and laughs.
The Deep Stuff:
Stranger Things is more than just a show for me, it was a light for me during a dark time. Last year I got sick. Anytime I ate, I would throw up my food. And if I wasn't throwing up, I was in bed with extreme stomach pain. I had no energy, and got tired super easily. I lost 20 pounds in 3 months. I went through months of tests, needles, scans, procedures, the works and the doctors never could find anything except for early stage ulcers all across my stomach. That's how I became vegetarian. Meat always sat heavy on my stomach, so I cut it out and than pain has been more manageable. Altogether I've lost 45 pounds, and still have trouble eating.
During the height of being sick my brother moved in with me due to some personal issues of his own. And him being the Netflix nerd he is, was watching Stranger Things 4 one afternoon, it was Eddie's lunchroom scene and his voice peaked my interest. My brother paused it when it got to the scene with him and Chrissy in the woods. He demanded I watch the rest of the series before I watch S4. I had watched S1 when it first came out, then just never went back to it. So in one months time, while I was curled up in bed I watched all of Stranger Things seasons. I fell in love with all the characters. Hope, Steve and Dustin were my first loves, and then came Eddie. He stole my heart and became my comfort character. And then the Suffer Brothers did what they did (still not over it.) So with me still being sick, I needed something else to spend my free time on. So, I started writing. And since I always get the Sunday Scaries, I picked Sunday as my writing and posting day.
Like most authors, I carefully place a piece of myself in each character I create. Wren has my coping skills. I will hold onto everything, and carry it until I breakdown. I don't want to bring anyone down by placing my burdens and worries at their feet, so I carry it until I can't. Wren also has my humor. Always having the sharpest wit. Stella aka Angel, has my heart. I will always find a way to understand and be there for every person I meet. I have a pocket full of chances and I hand them out like nobody's business. But I don't fight for anyone to be in my life. I don't see myself as an important person to be in anyone's life, so if you decide to walk out of mine, I'll just wave as you do. Pearl, sigh, Pearl is probably the most like me. No matter how mean you are to mean, I will always look you in the face with a smile. I never give anyone the power to hurt me, and if for someone reason they do, they'll never know it. Also, I'm very open. I will tell you anything you want to know about me. No shame in my game. Gertie will be a character that will show a journey of grief I went on. I didn't lose my brother though. I lost my Nana, she had a stroke and I was the one to find her. It changes you, and that's what you will see with Gertie.
The big picture:
I use Wattpad as my escape. Life outside it isn't always lovely, so it's my safe place. And with that being said, I want you to understand you are always safe on this page. Whatever you need, want, or have to say, you can say it here. If you need a friend I'm here. You can lay your troubles and burdens here if they're getting too heavy. You can come here and rest and have a moment of peace. I truly mean it when I say I love you, and I'm glad you're here. Even if you don't comment or vote. Thank you for just dropping in to visit the little world I've created. It's okay if you don't have it in you to interact, if this is just a way for you to escape, it's enough that you chose one of my stories to do that.
I don't what else to say. But if you have any questions feel free to ask them! I love interacting with you guys! Also feel free to tell me a bit about yourself!
I love you with all my bones you beautiful piece of universe!
Thank you for being here with me.
