On the verge of 30. Can't write like I used to, but hoping to bring some of that back by using an outlet such as Steemit. All about growth and knowledge and attempting to be a better version of whoever and whatever I am at any given moment. Very much into politics, science, astronomy, music, film, the human experience, existentialism, psychology, true crime, self-help and the occasional "conspiracy theory". I consider myself to be a very extroverted introvert. Most people see my humorous side, at least on social media. But I ultimately have many layers that are only peeled back with time or under the appropriate circumstance. Steemit I assume will cater more to my serious side. 
I enjoy a productive debate, so long as it's less about the ego and more about the exchange of information and challenges- in the most beneficial way- one's thoughts and perspective, including my own. I work in acoustical engineering which is a field I never knew existed, nor did I realize the importance of until being lucky enough to fall into it. It's what I do for money, but I'm lucky enough to enjoy it. Prior to that, I dedicated the majority of my adolescence to pursing acting/film. From being in front of the camera, to being behind it, to writing, to theater, from background work and cheesy music videos, to huge auditions I wasn't cut out for, to years training with some of the greats, to living at home and never having anything really come of it...I still can't quite let go of the dream. I grew up in Orange County, in a lower middle class household and come from a family of two brothers and two other sisters. My childhood, from my memory, was a good one, though I've been told otherwise and have come to realize wasn't all rainbows but I'm thankful for it none-the-less. My parent's were never really strict with me, being the last child, but I think it worked out for the better as I was a pretty good kid growing up and still hold firm the principals that were instilled in me as a youth I've been single for about 1 million years and there's a number of reasons for that, but none of which make me opposed to relationships or love, generally speaking. I really don't know what else I can say here that would be of interest to any one reading this, but it's my hope that someone would find it relatable to a degree, or that it would at least provide insight into my future posts. I predict that a lot of my posts will be about politics, (I myself falling under the Libertarian umbrella) and I also intend to write about topics pertaining to society, self-help, and lots of things psychology related. Feel free to stick around for it. Or don't. I'm not pushy.

Welcome :-) I hope you find what you want on Steemit. It can be difficult to get into a debate or discussion where the ego is left at the door. and if the topic is right, I would love to d just that.
you mentioned being into "self-help" as part of your interests, do you study or follow anyone particular for that?

Welcome to Steemit!
Extroverted Introversion is in me too and I'm less shy as I age, I'm Oatmeal, it is good to question things in life, to debate, to study, and to especially to invest in people and that is value hidden in psychology.
