Hi, My name is Dalia. I'm from a little town in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts. I've lived there most of my life, and only recently started at a university down in the valley. From the semester or so I've been here, I've learned a lot about the differences in what counts as "normal" as you move from place to place. More specifically, how my hometown is a bit odd compared to most everyone's experience. I've been told it might be worth it to write a bit about where I grew up- and more specifically what lives in the woods in my own backyard. So here's me, writing about my life to toss it into the void of the internet.
