I’m not very active on social media. Ironic, because I go on Instagram every day and check Facebook every week. But my posts are few and far between – I’ve always been more of an observer when it comes to the internet. This is my attempt to change that.

That's me! My name is Tanya, I was born in India 23 years ago, but California has been my home for more than half my life. I adore all animals, but there is a special place in my heart for my sassy bearded dragon, Godzilla. I love food but I’m too lazy to cook, I love reading but don’t go through books like I used to. I wish I exercised more and learned how to properly play an instrument. I had some talent in art when I was younger, but didn’t pursue it so now my current ability is impressive for a 10 year old but average for a girl in her 20s.

She was a dreamer.

I want to post about photography, my favorite places in southern California, dragons, and maybe some scientific and philosophical theories that I would love to hear opinions about. I want to read and learn about cryptocurrency, nature, how to be a better person, and support people that I think are doing good in the world.

I’m obviously new to Steemit but it seems different from other social media sites. I’ve been ghosting around, deciding how to feel about this new world, and I’ve seen more creative do-ers and motivated individuals here than anywhere else online. Earlier, I wrote about a lot of things I wish I had done, or wish I would do more of, and looking around this community, I already feel changes coming. Facebook is for family, Instagram is for friends, so I’m excited to see if Steemit can be for me. You guys all seem pretty intelligent, so as the saying goes, “surround yourself with smart people who’ll argue with you”.

I mentioned I like dragons, right?
