A little about me, then. I'm 25, I live in the UK. I'm a fan of Dr Who, Sherlock, Torchwood, (are you seeing a theme here?) singing, acting, knitting, reading, skiing, ice-skating, rock climbing, swimming, and a tonne of other things.
You might have read that and thought 'oh wow, this person is very active and sporty! You have been cruelly deceived, my friend. I did not lie - I do indeed love all of the aforementioned activities, however, my life at the moment currently consists of sitting on my sofa, watching episodes of old TV shows on my laptop, whilst knitting a scarf. I do the sporty things rarely. I wish I did them more often, but I'm lazy. I'm a lazy speed-freak. This is perfectly possible, I assure you. I love doing all of these things (as well as: judo; fencing; polocrosse; snowboarding; and a load of others I've probably forgotten), but the idea of actually finding somewhere local to do these things, booking it, getting up off the sofa, putting clothes on, leaving the house, and finally getting to said location, seems like a lot of effort to get to the thing I like doing. If there was a climbing wall up the outside of my house, I would go every day. Actually scratch that that was a lie - if the climbing wall was inside my house, then I would go every day. Sometimes outside seems like much too much effort, when the sofa is here.
Oh, I am also recovering from a rather lengthy period of depression. I am far better than I was at the start of it all, but I'm still not completely better. I still sometimes get suicidal thoughts and urges to self-harm, but I am gradually finding ways to overcome them, or at least wait them out. I've discovered that my friends are all wonderful people who are there for me when I need them, go out of their way to help me, and most of all, just understand. You can never underestimate the worth of just being there for someone, without judgement.
Anyway, I think that's enough for my first post. So, see ya!
Oh wait, I need a name. I'll go by... Phoenix.
