Do you ever get the feeling like life's coming at you swinging? Cause I sure do.

Hey, stranger. I'm a person who loves making and laughing at dumb jokes. A person who ends up picking up too many hobbies and interests at the same time and getting nowhere with any of them. A person who really enjoys affection but doesn't get much of a chance to do so. A person like many others but also plagued with a strange sense of alienation.

Maybe some more standard stuff? I'm really into cooking and baking and you can see some of the stuff I've made on my profile. My favorite thing to cook is pizza because it's such a fun and relaxing process to make with the dough. I enjoy playing video games, mostly co-op stuff with a soft spot for building/survival/crafting(Minecraft, Raft, Valheim etc.) or logistics/engineering games (Factorio, Satisfactory). I'm trying to learn guitar but it's really on and off and I hate trying to memorize chords so I'm going about it in an asinine way. It's still fun despite that, we could get on voice chat and you could listen to me fail the same 5 notes over and over. I've been trying my hand at photography because it goes hand-in-hand with my walks and hikes and I love sharing photos of pretty things with the people I know. I work out, as much as I motivate myself to. I also recently rescued a stray cat! He's a little ball of spite and cuddles. There's way more stuff but I gotta leave some actual topics to discuss, right?

I see a lot of people here searching for connection and in a way it's both sad and hopeful. I'm also looking for connection and hopefully so are you, reader. Another thing I'm hopeful of is that you too understand that a connection requires work and trying and time and shared things. So I hope you find at some aspects of yourself in these paragraphs.

I'm looking for someone who likes sharing bits of their life, small and grand. Someone who sends photos of random interesting things and memes. Someone who likes to gush about the things they like. Someone who can communicate openly and honestly. Someone who is curious about things and enjoys learning. Someone who's willing to put in the time and effort it takes to see me as a person. Someone who values honesty, openness, communication and loyalty. I promise I'll reciprocate all of these!

I'm open to long distance provided provided we plan to eventually meet.

If you got this far, thank you for not falling asleep. If you need a prompt to start conversation, you can tell me what's a new thing in your life. Apparently a lot of people straight up ignore prompts thinkingemoji?

P.S. My contact info is on my profile if you'd rather circumvent the shoddy Reddit chat options (I prefer discord).
