At risk of sounding egotistical in my introduction, I do acknowledge that even my "doing the work" self is quite a delight to know, for the right persons. As this ad is the largest reach I have, maybe I'll find a right person who genuinely enjoys my presence and personal development. Though, I am not entirely convinced I'm actually ready for intimate (let alone carnal!) knowledge of another.

This post has been slightly edited. I have an entirely different personals post in my profile from 8-9 months ago, though specific details have changed. If you are waiting on a response from my recent post- I'm working my way through, but I tend to over-think everything, and often out-think myself from replying...

My most successful/long term relationships have had some level of D/s dynamic. Though now that I better understand myself, I'm not sure if it's still right for me. But I'd like to find out, with you, if you're interested in the finding out process. I have numerous years of experience in various dynamics. I'm not going to list my kinks here because while that's certainly how I get my kicks, you gotta learn to walk before line dancing or the Hokey Pokey. Plus, it will filter out a lot of unsuitable people. I'm not interested in getting off right away, sexting or seeing disembodied dick pics.

I like to sit outside on the porch and smoke marijuana and watch nature, the insects & birds. I recognize their personalities & interactions with each other. I also play & pack with three dogs I currently co-exist with. I just finished my first basic sewing project in 20 years as a means of doing some inner work, and would like to do more. I've lived in a couple different parts of the US in my life.

Other people, if pressed for adjectives for me would probably say thoughtful, creative and funny. I'm sure they'd also say things like autistic, blunt/rude, sanctimonious, know-it-all and everyone would be right.

I'm often called quirky but I've learned that just means I'm conventionally attractive and/or feminine enough to not be called weird outright. I distrust physical flattery, but can accept that my green eyes are objectively attractive.

Though occasionally accused of being pretentious, I'm mostly incapable of false pretenses. Any falsities, even those that are socially mandated or polite, come difficult, though I can justify those choices because I live in society, masking, etcetera.

I'm afraid I've said too much- this is the whole of me.
