How would you describe yourself to someone?

Well, I’ve already posted several answers to this prompt, but here is another:

My name is Torunn Ingvild and I’m from Northern Norway, I’m very soon 32 years old and I’m diagnosed with severe mental illness and Asperger syndrome. I have different ethnicities in my family history and family cultures; a lot Finnish, Kven, Sámi and Norwegian. I’m passionate about genealogy and other research.

In the summer season I enjoy a cold rusbrus/alcopop or hard cider and a couple cans of energy drinks outside in our garden. I enjoy wearing strong colours in clothing and people like it when I wear something that express my sunny type moods. I’m strongly Leo influenced (Mercury, Chiron; both conjunct my Sun) in astrology along with very strong Virgo (Sun, Ascendant/Rising sign) in 12th house and a Sagittarius Moon plus a strong Pluto in Scorpio sign both within 4th house.

I like having a cup of hot tea during the long winters here and wearing merino wool blankets on the cold days like -20° celsius or lower. I like being truly outside for some time during my days, seeing nature in beauty, feeling the breeze of wind through my hair and the scent of wonder of summer after rainfall. I really like hoodies in different colours and they are comfortable.

I enjoy writing, listening to different genres music like black metal and dubstep, grunge and hardstyle etc osv. I like reading different kinds of texts and blogs about anything that the writer is passionate about and we connect over the Internet even from very different cultures from other world regions. I love diversity and my childhood best friends were non-European origins refugees mostly, so thankful for my good friends helping me feel better despite being often bullied. I’m also still here among the living due to my amazing family and some good support system around me. My medications are necessary for me to function in life, I take also anticonvulsants for temporal lobe epilepsy.

This blog helps me express and reflect on my life and the response from you all is a big part of why I keep writing. Even today with my heavy migraine I really feel like this is an escape from the agony along with my cool, dark room.

Thanks everyone for the read ❤ ❤

answer to dailyprompt-2013

how would I describe myself to someone?

I would describe my appearance, my interests, my experiences in life and all the little things that are unique to me. My cultures and ethnicity, my family, my psychiatric conditions and political ideology. And my three given names.

Here is an example;

I am Synnøve/Ingvild/Torunn and I’m a woman in my early 30s. I’m from far-Northern Norway and my ethnic background is mixed Norwegian, Sámi, Kven, Finnish, in addition of Romani (tatere) plus the indigenous Norwegian Traveller (skøyere, further back Yenish peoples of Central Europe) and some Swedish origins in recent generations. I have quite thick straight hair and a little coarse in texture in dark brown colour, hazel/green colour eyes and I measure at 156 centimeters in height. I’m passionate about genealogy, DNA-tests, genetic genealogy research, far-left political ideology, astrology and diversity in different life areas. I have a Virgo Ascendant/Rising sign. I’m also autistic, I have temporal lobe epilepsy and I’m diagnosed with the severe mental illness of schizoaffective/schizophrenia plus mood disorder. I had some difficult times growing up, especially being bullied. I love listening to music and writing.

Thank you for listening, comrade/fellow terrestrial ❤ ❤
