I feel like I'm at a weird crossroads in life where I should have it all figured out, but I still just feel so meh. I'm bored with life.

I really just want to share a friendship or relationship of some kind with someone with shared interests.

I have a decent IT adjacent job, and I'm very into visual design and UX. I'm career driven and it'd be great if you are too, at least to some degree! Employment type doesn't matter, as long as you're passionate about progressing.

I love food and cooking, animals, reading, podcasts (I narrate for podcasts sometimes too), animals, plants of all kinds, and horror media. I enjoy most music. I'm not really into fitness right now (was a gym rat in a previous life) but I enjoy walking.

Here are a few activities I was thinking could work:

Some online gaming (don't have much time to commit to anything too immersive right now though due to work/life commitments)

Choosing and reading a book together

Watching movies

Taking an online class

Sharing and practicing recipes together

Taking up a hobby one/both of us have considered and sharing our progress

Online classes or events - something like attending online whiskey or wine tastings for example, learning a skill, etc.

Growing plants from seed and sharing progress, maybe seed swapping too

Learning a language

Maybe exchanging care packages and snail mail every once in a while

Sharing voice notes

Sharing photos and even mini photo assignments (e.g. pics of your childhood neighbourhood with stories of interesting memories attached)

Idk, just general fun things to do with someone decent! I want to look forward to your messages.

Let me know if you feel like being my buddy, either in the long or short term.

Notes: I don't have kids and don't really have any interest in them, so I'd prefer if you were also childfree at the moment. I'm based in Ireland.
