  4. For most of my stories, I write the ending first and work backwards.

OMG driver license is given based on salary? I didn't know that. In my city you can get a driver license without not even knowing how to drive and that's the reason the roads are wild, like Grand Theft Auto wild :sweat_smile:...They are changing that fortunately.
What about people who need a license to be a cab driver and don't have a high income? :hushed:

1 - I'm finally getting therapy at age 23 for my mental illnesses and traumas!
2 - I have club thumbs!
3 - I'm nocturnal! My times of being awake is from 3 pm to 5 am. I still get a good amount of sleep but it annoys and confuses people I talk to because they don't think my sleep is inverted.
4 - I'm a trans man and finally on testosterone!!! :^D
5 - I've got artistic vision in music and writing, but artwork is not my natural skill. I didn't start off as an artist and I still struggle to make art even a decade later. I don't like it when people say I'm talented. Untalented people can become good artists!!! Even if it takes time! It's all skill and I'm still not done ;u;
