Hiii everyone, I'm Vera (she/her)! I'm looking for friends anywhere in the world! Key word of FRIENDS ONLY, I am happily monogamous and married.

Some facts about me:

• I enjoy writing and reading (mostly poetry and LGBTIAQ fantasy) and often work through a book or two a week. I've also set a goal to self-publish a novel, just so I can say I did it! It's always been a dream of mine.
• Cooking is love, food is life. I cook a lot of different food and would love to share recipes. I eat meat but love vegetarian food as well! The way to my heart is my stomach.
• I love video games, especially RPG, life simulator, and management type games. I have a PS5, PS4, and Switch if you want to play something together. I also have a pc but don't do too much pc gaming. Some of my favorite games are the Witcher, Red Dead Redemption 2, Sims, Harvest Moon/Rune Factory/Stardew Valley and other farming simulations, the final fantasy series, etc. I love cozy games as well like Cozy Grove, Spiritfarer, etc.
• Honestly I don't watch a ton of TV but I enjoy watching TV when I eat or snack, so I get through shows and movies relatively slowly. I enjoy comedies, dramas, romance, horror, fantasy. I prefer movies to series because it takes me forever to get through series. I do enjoy animes and marvel/DC stuff casually as well.
• My home contains the world's best cuddly dog, and 2 black cats... One is very prim and proper and loves to judge you from tall locations, the other is basically a savage hunter who loves to cuddle and and bring gifts (usually tags, small toys he eviscerated, and plastic wrappers). My pets are the best and I will fight you on it (jokingly), and you must provide evidence for debate purposes. I love all pets and also have a soft spot for horses.
• I tend to have a bubbly and positive personality, I try to make the best of things and be supportive and compassionate. That's not to say I'm always bubbly and positive, but I definitely skew that way.
• I'm pansexual (alphabet mafia unite!), cisgendered, and I am happily married to an amazing woman! I'm monogamous.
• I'm a woman of color (Black/Filipino/Japanese).
• I'm liberal.
• I work in IT and enjoy it. Because of my career field, I work crazy hours sometimes, but I always make an effort to respond quickly when I can.

Ideal Friendship:

• you're in your late 20s/up to early 40s and are looking for friends too!
• you like casual and serious text conversations on a fairly regular basis (daily/weekly). I would be open to occasional video/phone calls after we get to know each other.
• We have similar interests and/or you think we would get along well.

Preferred Communication:

• Discord
• Text (once we're comfortable) - ideal
• Telegram (once we're comfortable)
• WhatsApp (once we're comfortable)

Feel free to shoot me a message or chat if you think we'd get along well! Have a great weekend and thanks for reading~
