I am not an artist. I wish I was, but I never picked up the skill of creating visual images. Maybe I will at some point, but not today. I do sometimes craft scenes and stories with the written word, but calling myself a "writer" doesn't seem right. Perhaps I'll throw some of my work up here, but not today.
What I am is a collector of knowledge and experiences-or at least I'd like to think I am. I want to see the world through other perspectives, and I'd like to thank you for showing me what you see.
But that's enough of the whimsical junk. I'm Lydia, 28, American. Hobbies include traveling, learning about other cultures, exploring the natural world, geeking out over various works of fiction (mostly video games), and people. I'm the friendly sort, and you're probably here because I visited your page or commented on your work, so if you think we have common interests, please feel free to engage me in further conversation. I'm also on Facebook with the same username.
Cheers.
