[Bonus if you know what song the title is from]

Isn't it crazy to think about how much the course of our lives changes from the people we meet? I've meet some amazing people on here, with whom I've had meaningful relationships. But it's been getting lonely in here lately. Maybe we'll talk for a week and won't hit it off. Maybe we'll have a summer love. Maybe we'll defy the odds and be THE ONE (®), and contentedly grow old together, learning more about life and each other as we mature and become wiser.

Stuff you should know about me:

* I struggle with mental health issues. OCD, Bipolar, PTSD. I definitely do NOT have my shit together, but I'm always trying to work on it. But hey, that means that if you have mental health issues and you don't have your shit together either, that doesn't scare me at all. Bring yourself to me... Even though our quirks and eccentricities will be different, we will learn about and understand each other... and maybe even learn more about the universe in the process.

* I consider myself "gender neutral". However I still present male and you can use he/him pronouns for me. It's more of a philosophical stance of believing that gender roles and expectations in our society are arbitrary and oppressive.

Other stuff:

Music is deeply meaningful for me. I compose and produce music, and also play percussion. I also remember so many details of my life through the songs that I was listening to during any given era. Perhaps you are a musician or a singer... and we can work on songs together, and fall in love in the process. (Idealistic? Who? Me?... I gotta have dreams)

Spiritually I have always been agnostic, but I've also practiced Buddhism for the last 15 years. I keep an open mind about spirituality and wisdom, and I take bits and pieces from different places that make sense to me.

My Myers Briggs personality type is INFP. I'm definitely a "sensitive" person. I've never been afraid to show my emotions. Emotions for me are so incredibly varied and nuanced, sometimes I think that I've never experienced the same emotion twice... The newest iteration may resemble one I've had in the past, but it has the present moment qualities with it too.

I have some kind of synesthesia, like spacial sequence synesthesia. It's too much/abstract to get into here, but suffice to say I am neurodivergent and I process information differently than most people.

Other random interests: Psychology, self-help, retro video games.

About you:

You're intelligent, emotionally mature, non judgemental, and over the age of 30. That's it... For everything else, I'm looking forward to learning about what makes you YOU.

We already know we're statistically unlikely to find each other. But we've got to keep trying.

If you read this far, even if you're not interested in contacting me, I truly hope everything goes well for you.

and finally, to quote Jewel

"Please be careful with me... I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way"
