Hi yall! Guess who's back, back again? Purple's back, tell a friend! (I'm cringing at myself too don't worry) One of your favorite OG 2013 players has made a recent reappearance and is planning on sticking around. A few things about me: My name is Madi. Most people here just call me Purple or Purp. Pronouns are she/her/hers or they/them, I really don't care either way. I was staff on this server back in the 2014-2018 range. I don't really remember what happened when, but I was a mod on both skyblock and economy for awhile. I'm 25 years old. I finished my Masters degree this past December and I've had quite a bit of time on my hands since then, which is why I've come back. I’ve got my Masters in Child Development. My undergraduate degrees are in Bioethics, Psychology, and Philosophy. I work with kiddos with ADHD/ASD/OCD/ODD. Most of our kiddos are just very severe ADHD but sometimes I have a kiddo that'll punch me in the face or kick me. I still love my job. I myself have the wonderful ADHD/OCD/Anxiety trifecta so life is a little chaotic sometimes but it helps me be more understanding of the population that I work with as well. I've found that some of the exercises we do with our kiddos have helped me as well, which is pretty awesome. I'm also currently learning our adult program. My favorite color is surprisingly not purple, it's green. I love collecting things and my house is very much filled with dopamine décor. I've started working out again and I love it. I'm competing in a figure competition in August and I'm super pumped (haha, get it?) When I'm not home, I'm out hiking, kayaking, lounging by the lake, or out with my camera taking pictures and exploring. I do also have a lotttt of crafting supplies and love to paint, draw, do mosaics, and do whatever other random art project I happen to find myself wrapped up in. I love to read as well and am almost always actively reading a book. I’ve started gaming a lot more in general recently. I’ve found that it’s a lot better for my wellbeing and more productive than doomscrolling on social media is. I have celiac which is lame. No gluten for me. I also don't tolerate dairy and a few other foods very well either. I still LOVE food and trying new things that won't kill me. In general, my body's a little broken but I survive somehow. I'll add more if I think of anything else, but that's all for now folks. Peace out and live life.
