Greetings to all. I am Dar'Jen Ab Owain, Aes Sedai of the Green Ajah.
While I first began to read WoT in high school, life got in the way and I never got very far, though I did enjoy it. Later in life, when I was dealing with a lot of chaos, I turned to reading to keep my mind busy, and thankfully, picked up WoT once more. My favorite character is Lan. It was my reading of the books that led me to DM (joined June 2017) , and I am so glad that it did, as I have found an incredible community on DM, among them my Green Ajah family.
I am a mother of a twenty-one year old son. My husband, son, and I live with my father (we moved here to help care for my mother before she passed). And we spend a great deal of time traveling between OH (with my father) and TN (helping with my mother-in-law). Situation is not ideal, but we have come to live minimally and make do with what we have. I work as a customer service representative for an insurance company.
I love fantasy. Reading is a major past time, when I have the free time. Working slowly on a re-read of WoT. I am passionate about history. I have hand-sewn period clothes and cos-play costumes, and do other handcrafts like finger weaving and lucet cord making. I like playing video games with my husband and son, such as Halo, and independently, like Skyrim. We go for walks at the park and cemetary, and hikes in the woods. I am a writer, and after dealing with lack of muse for some time, hope to get back to actively writing and submitting pieces.
It's great to re-meet folks here on DM. And hope this helps some of our newer members as well. It is often the journey that teaches us much of ourselves.
