I was brightmandarin, and really wasn't feeling it. I wasn't prepared to pay $15 just to change the username so I've created a new journal and added everyone again

thestoryofdarcy definitely feels more me and more what I'm hoping to get out of blogging in 2019

Who am I?

After everything that's happened in my life in the last couple of years, I'm trying to look at 2019 as a new chapter in the Story Of Darcy. Part of that is going to be figuring out who I am within the limitations of my health, what I want out of life and where I want life to take me.

But before I can work any of that out, I need to start from where I am. So what do I know for certain?

My name is Darcy, I'm 28 years old and I live in the South West of England. I've been married to Rob since 2013 and we have a two-and-half-year-old daughter called Frankie. I have an older brother called Ben and a younger sister called Kitty.

I identify as agender - and use she/her pronouns - and demisexual (and will write another post about what they mean to me). I'm INFP, Gemini, and a Slytherin. I'm currently unable to work due to chronic illness but I am a librarian and am hoping to get back that one day.

I've been a history fan for as long as I can remember, especially British history from the middle ages, the war of the roses, the Tudors and the Elizabethans, and the Victorians. But I also have a love for the Classics - Egypt, Rome, and Greece. I love the stories of Arthurian legend and mythical creatures. I want to know more about Norse mythology and the Vikings. True Crime documentaries suck me in every time and I'm planning on watching the Netflix series about Madeline McCann as soon as I can

Most of my hobbies right now are low-energy - I enjoy colouring books, reading, watching tv/movies, knitting, listening to music and cooking & baking. I've started playing games like Gardenscapes & Homescapes on my phone. I'm looking forward to Frankie being a little older and introducing her to Lego!
I miss being able to dance and ice-skate, but I've started swimming again, taking Frankie to toddler swimming lessons.
