GET TO KNOW ROBO!

 Greetings Blog-goer!

I am ROBOT, otherwise known by my artist alias Voidstarz, or my internet username Robo(t)float. I am a 22-year-old individual with an affinity for the macabre, oddities, nostalgia, and anything creative. 

Most people would go into what they do for a living, but alas, this blog isn't about my work! It is about me and my life, interests, adventures, and more. I'd like to keep it that way. So to remain on topic, allow me to elaborate more so you can get to know me better!


While I don't typically like to rep labels, I fall under the "alternative" category. Particularly somewhere between (mainly) emo, scene, (and a dash of) goth, cybergoth, and scenecore! Though, I don't like to confine myself to only one/few alt subcultures, as I'm interested in and often enjoy/resonate with many. My music taste is primarily very scene/emo in nature. 


I love love LOVE anything odd, silly, and niche/underrated! I like to consider myself a pathpaver, a pre-trend-enjoyer, if you will. I always seem to find all the good stuff before it becomes trendy, then tell the world incessantly about my new little findings like a news delivery boy...
Hear ye, hear ye! All shall listen to Perverted and Proud by Belladonnakillz by nightfall, lest ye desire ILLNESS BEFALL THEE! ...Doesn't sound so ideal, does it? So QUIT SLACKIN', & GET CRACKIN'! 


My perspective on the world is, by default, deeply cynical as a result of my long-term struggle with debilitating anxiety and depression. Due to this, I've felt that I lost the charm I once claimed power to; The innate ability to view life through the lens of true wonder, optimism, and joy. Some say I need therapy, but I say I need to nurture my inner former "manic pixie dream girl" (That's a joke. Don't worry... I am seeking professional help and taking strides to heal my wounds one day at a time).


That's what this blog is for. While also posing as a reason for me to step back from mainstream social media and get in touch with my love for blogging again, it's also a good coping mechanism to teach myself how to find beauty in my life again. Whether that's in my interests, the small things, the adventures I go on, or sharing my creations, blogging allows me to do these things without the pressures and unspoken expectations held to those on modern social media platforms. It's like journaling, but being able to actually share your journal with the world. I like that a lot. So if you'd like to join me, I'm happy to welcome you.

While not every entry may be abundant with the pretty parts of life, I hope that those who stumble upon my online journal can learn to accept the ugly parts, as well. We cannot have one without the other, after all, and it's okay to embrace your flaws or the bad days. The internet is chock-full of perfectionism and unrealistic portrayals nowadays, so it's important we are reminded of the one simple fact we cannot deny- At the end of the day, we're all human... Even those of us who may feel estranged from our humanity. There is beauty in being human.
