Hello all, I'm Kara. I'm a sixteen-year-old, inquisitive girl who resides within the suburbs of Chicago. I'm an oddball, obnoxious, a deep thinker, curious, lazy, open minded, an over-analyzer, baker, imaginative, a bit pessimistic, and an idealist. I'm a nerd as well, and I say that considering I'm interested in the most peculiar things, such as video games and anime. I've been struggling in a war against self-hatred. Nevertheless, I'm doing my best to accept my flaws and love myself. But of course, there's so much more to learn about myself than this small, descriptive paragraph, so I hope you find the time to figure out who I really am. I know I still need to.  exploring
