reverie / bernadette ★

new phone, who dis?

hello! i wanted to make a video about this as i think it'd work out a little better in terms of getting my words across, but a post is more suitable at the moment due to the fact that i'm using a new device and hence don't have the motivation to make an animation right now.

i wanna go on a quick yap about my name and a change that's gonna come. nothing life-changing, but important regardless.

if anybody recalls, the name i signed with at the end of my birthday animation was "reverie". that's weird, isn't it? haven't i been "zero" for the last 4 years? well, yes i have. and i'm done with it now.

"zero" was the name i went by for basically all of my high school career. it was who i was, and i was happy with it. but that very same time period was some of the most mentally and emotionally exhausting time of my life. i was at my lowest, and many a time, i thought about just cutting my own life short. i never did, thank goodness, but it drained me so badly as a person to be alive for those 4 years of time.

after i graduated, i felt such a disconnect with the name. i tried shortening it and going by "zi", which worked for a short while, but it never really *worked* worked. behind those 2 letters were 4 years of agonizing mental health decline and emotional instability. i couldn't do it anymore.

not long ago, just before my birthday, i settled on a name i wanted to go by - 2 of them, even. the first being "reverie" - a word that means "daydream". the second was the namesake of a song that brings me great joy and comfort - "bernadette" [the song in question being, well, "bernadette" by iamx.]. these two names are what i want you guys to call me. they're what i'm most comfortable with. these can easily be shortened to "rev"/"revi" and "bernie".

i also wanted to say that "zer0mori" will not be sticking either. from here on out, i'll be using the username "rever1e_d4ydr3am" - a play on my name and its meaning, and the number 143 - my favorite number - a number that means "i love you", words that are very, very dear to me.

that's really about all i wanted to say. i'll see if i can post something fun with time.

drink water, punch someone you hate, and always, always, always shine blazingly bright.
