More selfies and pictures of my cat on my profile!

Life is great! I have come a very long way with who I am as a person and where I am in life. I've hurt people, and I've been hurt by people. I'm tired, and I wish none of that upon anyone. I grew up throughout my teenage years with an MMO addiction which crippled my social ability as I grew distant from family, friends, had an online relationship, and eventually quit high school. Longer term, this didn't put me in particularly ideal circumstances.

Eventually took on University and got a job with a bank, and these two things combined began a journey of transformation. The professional environment with supportive and positive co-workers, to the forced study socials and pressures. I even studied in Sweden for 7 months as part of my degree, travelling Europe and meeting some of my online friends (cost me all of my savings at the time)!

A few years on, I now work from home, I can theoretically work whenever and wherever I want, so long as I'm available throughout work hours and make any required meetings. Quite often, I'll take extensive breaks throughout my working days and end up working in the evening a little instead. But mostly I try to get my working hours done between 8 and 4 (with a walk and a lunch break). My work is going exceptionally well and I am particularly career driven, given that I love what I do and my company is a great place to work with a lot of benefits and flexibility.

Last year, I taught myself how to crochet (see my profile for the post!) and it's made me realise the intelligence and skills I've acquired throughout my education can be applied to other things. So there's a few more things about that I'm going to try my hand at, but there's some things I need to prioritise around the house first.

My day-to-day

I live by myself, with my cat, I have my own place, more space than I need. I clean (vacuum, mop, dust), I shop, I cook, I do all the laundry and keep my bed clean. I survive, but I barely feel like I'm prepared for adult life. I'm not sure how I have managed it this far! But I'm still going.

Around all that, and work, I'm mostly at the computer, watching anime, shows, movies, or playing games, or voicing with friends (sometimes whilst doing the previous things), Some times I go hiking over the weekends, some times my family visits, some times I visit them.

I don't have a lot of local friends nowadays, just a very small few, others moved interstate, and most of my friends are just online / international, some of whom I got to meet throughout my travels.

But, since I work from home, and my work is - for the most part - easily multi-taskable, I have a lot of opportunity to chatter throughout the day about all ongoings and things!

I recently watched Demon Slayer with a friend and started watching Jujutsu Kaisen with them, however due to time, we generally only get the chance to watch once or twice every couple of weeks, so it's slow progress! I finally got around to watching Attack on Titan Final Season Part Two, and I'm glad I did, it was the first time I'd binged an anime on my own and genuinely enjoyed it that much.

What am I looking for?

Someone to vibe with, get to know, friends, maybe something more? But, in terms of potential relationship, there's a few things you should know, I'm not here to hide anything. Let's chat for a while to start with and see how it goes.

My love language is touch. Intimate cuddles, snuggling, caressing, back scratches, giving massages of all kinds, hand holding, that kind of thing. However I am not a particularly sexual individual, it's something I am happy and open to exploring with someone, but I do not see it as a necessity within my relationship. But, that doesn't mean I don't have my perversions or can't be flirty, but it does mean that if I am those things, it is indicative of interest, but not necessarily indicative of sexual motives.

I want someone I can just share the experience of life with, have consistent attention from, give consistent attention to, watch things, play games with, travel, go on cute dates. Someone who compliments my intelligence, wit, and humour, and I theirs - something that may take some time for me to show. But, mostly, I play on the literal interpretations of ambiguous English in sarcastic jest and I will banter with you.

What does a relationship look like to me? Cute dates, walks, hiking, cuddles and watching things together, playing games together, or even just chilling in the same space and doing our own things (with chatter, or even completely undisturbed by one another). Sharing the chore load. Making sure we both have enough time and space to still have our alone and free time. And ultimately... trust, honesty, and communication, and these ones take time to build. It takes time to show someone that it's safe to be open about all the weird and unusual things, to be comfortable being quirky, and it takes time for the other to become comfortable too. I'm not here to judge, and I want to see you as you, be the most you that you can be!
