Intro it's been almost three and a half years (reintro) (1 Viewer)

[Chiara]

March 11th will mark 3.5 years on KPS, and that's saying something! This is the first forum I've been on for that long without it going south... knock on wood. lol but if you're newer and aren't familiar with me yet, here's some facts about me!

-I was born with CHARGE syndrome, which was so rare at the time that it went undiagnosed until I was a toddler
-I'm legally blind and hard of hearing (which is part of the above) and have to use a white cane and wear glasses and hearing aids
-I was first exposed to K-pop in 2007, but didn't become fully invested until 2020
-my ult groups are Riize and Twice, both of which have been ults since discovery (Riize just last year and Twice in 2018)
-as you can tell from my username, more than one of my biases is surnamed Park (Riize Wonbin, BND Sungho, Ateez Seonghwa, Red Velvet Joy)
-my favorite colors are purple, pink, and blue
-my hobbies include writing fanfics, listening to music, reading romance novels, learning Spanish, and art
-I'm a multistan, but I gravitate more towards boy groups

nonono you're not stupid! Legally blind means that the vision in my better eye, the right, is less than 20/200 (low enough vision that I need glasses, a white cane, and large print). This is why I'm typing in large print all the time.

Ohhh makes more sense now, can your eye get better?

no, my vision unfortunately is getting worse, my eye doctor says. I wasn't always legally blind - I wasn't diagnosed as such until high school.

eventually, yeah, but not until I'm much older

 

[Harmony_Starz]

Well atleast you will be able to see for now but I am really sad that you won't have it later in life
