Hello, my name is Allie. Wow, this account has been open for 11 years. Those 11 years have probably held some of the hardest years of my life. I entered and exited the military, dealt with trauma and health issues, and it all inspired me to create a Twitch stream called Hobbies for Happiness. Its a miniature painting stream that explores how hobbying can benefit those who deal with struggles ranging from every day stress, to more serious and debilitating mental health disorders. I leave this page open as a reminder to you to never give up your dreams (with regard to art, writing, music, what have you) because it may be the only thing saving you one day.
