Frequently-awkward, maths-obsessed, anxiety-riddled teen girl. I have a soft spot for thrift shopping and unhealthily obsessing over elections.

I'm Tessa (not Tessa Young - spare me from that literary nightmare) and I'm a shy, geeky bookworm with a passion for writing and dancing - mainly ballet, but I'll dabble in anything. There's nothing I love more than a steaming cup of hot chocolate and a good book - pro tip, the Harry Potter series is perfect for any type of person. I'm a left-leaning centrist and a proud-as-can-be lesbian. I've suffered from anorexia nervosa in the past, but I like to say that I'm relatively recovered now... and I'm at a semi-healthy weight! Go recovery.

I haven't been active in a long while - goodness me, I was twelve when this account started - but I came here for the political fics, but I'm staying for the chance to express myself through my second favourite medium, writing. I may be a raging introvert, but I'd love to make some friends, so if you're interested you can message me right away ;)

Likes: plot twists, huge glasses that make me look like I'm five, Emily Dickinson. 

Dislikes: painful dancing shoes, Autism Speaks, unsatisfying bios (see what I did there?)
