1) what are 3 things you’d say shaped you into who you are?

OOOOH this is a tough one!

1: nature/biology is a big one tbh! idk if i would even be like. Alive without my interest in animals lol. esp my interest in invertebrates (insects, spiders, worms etc) has been a big part of my life for the last 10 years and something that's kept me going and just changed the entire trajectory of my future :-) i'm rlly glad to be privileged enough to be living in an area where nature and wildlife is pretty easily accessible! idk what i would do without it lol

2: the internet. let's be real. i am chronically online. the internet has had both positive (made me more creative and helped me find cool new things, helped me meet cool and awesome people, helped me discover my identity etc) and negative (self-explanatory tbh) impacts on me and my life. i think i would be a very different person without the internet. idk if my life would be better or worse but it would definitely be different

3: this is so silly but. star trek. specifically the tos "the devil in the dark" and "the doomsday machine" episodes. my dad showed me tos when i was a little kid and i loved it so much but those two episodes specifically rewired my brain. trek in general was a big part of why kid me got interested in both nature and science fiction. i don't think i would be the person i am today without having witnessed the scene with spock and the horta mind melding at the ripe old age of 5.

8) any reacquiring dreams?

i assume the op meant reoccurring heh 🤓☝️ ANYWAY. i have a few! my most common one is that i'm still my current age but i have to go back to high school to retake a bunch of classes for some reason. sometimes it's even younger than high school and i have to go back to primary school LOL. it's always incredibly stressful and embarrassing 0/10 would not recommend. my other most common dream is the Infinite Bathroom Dimension Dream which i've been told a few other people have too. in those dreams i'm usually in a public bathroom trying to find a place to do my thing but all the stalls are like fucked up and missing doors, everything is dirty and creepy, and the place usually goes on forever like an infinite maze. i have dreams like this about other buildings too, including but not limited to: pools, pool changing rooms, malls, cinemas, houses, etc. the infinite and weird building dreams are common with me.

lately i've also started having one where i'm out in the countryside somewhere and i'm being chased/stalked by a malicious entity. i also have dreams where i'm a zookeeper a lot lol

38) fave song at the moment?

currently it's regret by new order!

i've been on a bit of a new order kick lately! something abt their music always makes me feel rlly happy and yet melancholy at the same time, and they just have a distinctive beautiful sound which i really love :-) !
