Name:awayslow
i share a greenish-blue house with my partner of many years, our pixie scamp child and a hodgepodge of other animals. i spend the majority of my time as their caretaker, though i also work a few hours a week at a non-profit. i'm originally from the rural midwest but now live in the pacific northwest.

i am a very shy, quiet, anxious, awkward introvert on the spectrum. my world is exceptionally small, but as i've grown older i've accepted that this is best for my absurd, highly-strung nervous system.

i've kept a journal since i was six years old. back then i wrote mostly about my cats and how much ice cream i was able to sneak before dinner. nowadays i write about chronic pain/infertility, attempting to navigate being a parent, and the sweet little adventures of my family (and still, occasionally, my cats).
