‘Allo! Where to start. Basics?

I’m a creative soul who values deep, meaningful connections with people—whether that’s as a friend or a romantic partner. I’m all about building relationships where communication, honesty, and respect for boundaries are key. I believe that no one person can be everything for anyone else, and I’m looking for those who share the idea that connection and authenticity are the foundation of any relationship. I’m also a strong believer in building up the people around me and expect the same in return.

I love spending time outdoors. Whether it's kayaking, fishing, rock hounding, or simply exploring a riverbed or forest. I’m always on the lookout for new adventures…I love getting lost in nature—whether it’s hiking, chasing mushrooms, or simply soaking in the beauty of the forest or a body of water. I just love being outside. I work from home most of the time so getting outside is paramount to my mental health.

I have several special interests: - I’m passionate about birds/parrots. I have three and they’re my heart and soul. - People, their behavior and choices. I’m a people watcher. I love asking questions and understanding you know what drives a person‘s decisions and likes and interests. - The Office; yes I cringe a lot now rewatching but it’s always been a comfort show. I love learning facts about it and sharing quotes. - Water; love being on it, in it, near it…bout the only thing I take offense to it having to drink it. - Color coding - Finding things; I Spy books, Where’s Waldo, your keys, the exact waffle iron I’ve wanted for 2 years for less than I wanted to pay at the thrift store in brand new condition, my will to keep going in cooperate America each day (that’s ones tough some days admittedly), fucks to give just when I thought I’d run out…if it’s lost…I can probably find it. - Hearing/seeing neurospicy people share about their special interests. - Trivia Nights; I don’t drink but I love all the rest of it.

I have several indoor hobbies as well. Having ADHd means I bounce between them frequently but tend to find my way back to these. Painting, crafting, building (from Legos to coffee tables), tabletop games, card games, or other board games. I’m a huge fan of anything that taps into my creative side. Writing, reading, coloring, cross stitch, embroidery, mosaics, etc.

What I’m Looking For: - Connections where we can really talk, listen, and support each other. - I love connecting with people who can teach me something new or offer fresh perspectives. - If you're into nature, games, or simply sharing thoughts about books, life, or political discussions, we’ll likely vibe well together. - Friendship/companionship - Someone that wants to chat throughout the day, share life events, get advice, build on it daily. - Community

I’m pansexual and demisexual (I need a strong emotional connection before things go physical)…oh and I’m definitely sapiosexual…so I’m really attracted to someone who stimulates my mind and makes me feel understood. I’m open to both online and in-person connections, with a preference for people who can engage in thoughtful conversations about everything from books and politics to climate change and life’s little moments.

I have an almost 19-year-old kiddo who is transgender and I need any potential connection to be accepting and supportive of them. If you can’t respect that, please don’t reach out.

Being that one of my special interests is people (and how their minds work) and I have a special set of skills…understand that I come authentically and have expectations of those in my life to do the same. I do not tolerate disrespect of other human beings. I want to surround myself with people who lift each other up and genuinely care. I don’t mesh well with far-right conservatives or people who push extreme religious views onto others. I believe in having thoughtful discussions, but I’m not here to argue or convince anyone of my beliefs. So please be respectful in return regarding that area of things. I’m on a personal spiritual thing and diving deep to address the root causes of the things I don’t like about myself and how I operate as a person. Honesty, kindness, and mutual respect are a must.

If you’re someone who values connection over superficial relationships, enjoys creative pursuits, and wants to have meaningful conversations, let’s talk! I’m looking to build a circle of people who feel like home, where we can confide in each other, support one another, and grow together.
