I have so many thoughts and feelings about things that I'm passionate about that I'm always wanting to share with someone. It could be a movie, anime, or a video game. A lot of times it's music, whether it's some lyrics that hit home for me or a particular melody or drum or bass part (I did play sax for 8 years and have been dabbling in bass guitar recently). Or if it's a song that reminds me of someone I've lost. It would be great to have a partner who not only liked hearing about all my ramblings but also had some of their own. You may have similar interests or it might be something completely different, but just hearing someone be passionate about something is always fascinating to me. I usually feel the closest connection with someone when we can share things like that with each other. I also just value kindness and genuineness and someone who doesn't take life too seriously. Oh, and if you enjoy really stupid jokes and goofiness, I have plenty of that as well. It may just take a bit for it to come out. I have a really big family that has influenced my sense of humor a lot, I'd say.

A bit more background about myself so you know what you're getting into: I worked as a software engineer for about 4 years but have been going through a whole journey with depression the past few years. I won't get into the details at the moment but I'm very open about it and willing to share if you're curious. Anyway, I am currently taking some online classes and working a temporary retail job to get myself ready to go back to my career as a software engineer. My depression has also been steadily getting better, and while I'm not quite where I want to be, I am making progress. I'm also in the process of losing weight that I gained from all of this, but I feel I have plenty to offer as a partner and person as I am right now. So while I may not look exactly how I want at the moment, I'm OK with it and I know I'll get there. Either way, I can send a picture. I'm 6'3" with thick, medium-length brown hair (that's starting to go gray), green eyes, glasses, clean-shaven, and some ear piercings in each ear but no other piercings or tattoos.

Probably my only real dealbreaker is anyone who is very religious or who has kids or wants kids. I'm fairly certain I don't want kids, personally. Figured I should mention it so it's not a bummer later when disagreeing on it haha.

I don't want this post to get too long so I'll just say I'm an open book if you have any other questions. Oh and if anyone is seeing this again from last night, I did not realize I had my settings to not allow chat requests, so you should be able to actually reach me now! 😅
