Is there anybody out there?

Hi SteemIt Community!

I am Caroline Lima, 24. I was born in Brazil but I've been living in the United States for the past 4 years. I initially came here to pursue a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. Soon, in the Fall of 2018, I will start pursuing a doctorate degree at (unknown). It is yet to be decided where.

NOT CLICKBAIT

Ever since I was little (12 years old little >_<) I've been making friends on the internet. Some of them I even consider to be closer to me than the people who surround me on a daily basis. So I would say I am super into social media and the ability to connect with people around the world. But no, I am not an antisocial weirdo who doesn't look anywhere besides a shiny screen (or I would like to believe so). I believe this is primarily the reason why I am writing this post, with the hopes someone will actually read it, and maybe have an interesting interaction going.

While I don't believe to be particularly good at anything, I am interested in learning about most subjects and when I am a little drunk I like to tell my friends that "I will try anything at least once". Although that adage doesn't hold itself completely true, I think it's a way of describing my sense of curiosity (and adventure?) and it is the reason why I have engaged in many random activities throughout my life, such as welding, pottery, rappelling, sailing, surfing, acting and competing on a 5 km obstacle race, to mention a few. And from mentioning those you might assume I must be talented with crafting and sports, but that would be very far from the truth.

And this is why I don't like talking about myself with the purpose of "letting people know who/what I am". The impression you will have about me just depends on what I decide to give priority. Do I tell you I love studying philosophy first? Or that in a day I might spend 14 hours playing games on my PC? Or that I love dancing to electronic music? Or that I like creating memes? Do these things mean I am funny? Or that I am nerdy? An intellectual? Or just trying hard to be any of these things? Even I don't know the answer. How can I properly introduce myself when I am too obsessed with the idea of not putting labels on myself?

Anyway, I think this is enough rambling for a post that is about to be read by half a dozen netizens. >_<

If you made it to the end of this post, thank you for your attention :)

See ya!

Hello Caroline and welcome to this awesome community it's great to have you here!
From my own experience I can agree that I've also made in my life some friendships over the internet which are definitely stronger than some of the friendships in "real life". The best feeling is when you finally meet somebody from the internet you've been talking to for months. You just give this relationship a much bigger value because you don't have the possibility to see each other every day.
Thank you for sharing some facts about you. I wish you a lot of fun out here. If you have any questions or need help within the platform feel free to ask. I'm always willing to help :)

hahaha I like how you put real life inside of quotation marks :) I agree with you! Thank you Matthew!
