My oh my, it's been a long time since I made one of these. I didn't find anyone in my hiatus because I've been tied up due to my mom and I getting illegally evicted from our place with less than a week's notice.

I decided, after a massive breakdown, that I was fed up with pushing my mental shit further and further down. So I decided to go to a residential mental health facility. A month and a half later, I'm now here outside of Knoxville, real close to Sevierville and Pigeon Forge. I'll be here for an undetermined amount of time while I stay in transitional housing and do the PHP program. My goal is to finish each level of the program, find some affordable housing and get a job so I can start living on my own.

So, where do I start about me? Buckle up, it's going to be a fun ride.

I'm a 25-year-old Black woman (26 in t-minus 4 months) that is an Aquarius and INFJ-T. I have brown eyes, nice-ish lips and my fingers/hands are my favorite parts on my body. I'm a thicker gal but I've been working on eating better and getting more exercise since I was in residential. I'm playing with the idea of having weight loss surgery in the future but we'll see. My ultimate goal is to weigh 120-140 lbs, but hey, I'll get there. Also, I am 5 feet, 7 inches tall.

General hobbies/interests: Writing, reading, playing computer/video games, photography, watching TV and movies, people watching, traveling and so much more that I can't think of right now... Oh, also, I started journaling on Day 3 of residential and it's been such a joy to have someone "listen" to my honest feelings.

So, before all this shit went down, I had plans to start pre-reqs for nursing school in January. But now that I've been thrown into an entire new situation, I'm trying to figure out what I want to do/can do next. If anyone can tell me about the local college and/or job scene, that would be so helpful. Depending on what employment is like there, I may be able to attend in the future.

Hnm, some random stuff: I love animals (especially cats!), I only drink socially, I don't do drugs, I'm clean and disease free... Wee.

What am I looking for in a guy?

1. Someone who is taller than me (I'm 5'7" in case you forgot)
2. Someone who has nice hair (I've always been attracted to medium/long hair)
3. Has good qualities such as being kind, sweet, honest, caring, lovable, gentle, funny, etc... I love guys with gentle mannerisms and spirit in general
4. Between the ages of 22-31 (I'm willing to consider 21 or 32 under special circumstances)
5. Displays chivarly to me and other women in general (you know, holding doors and all that)
6. Likes and enjoys love languages (My top three ones are words of affirmation, quality time and gift giving/receiving... but I love them all!)
7. Enjoys going out and doing various stuff but also enjoys hanging at home, watching movies and ordering in... something like that lmao
8. Likes animals! If I find my own place in Knoxville/surrounding areas, I'd love to adopt a kitten in the future since we had to give up two of our cats
9. Willing to take things slow (but not talking about messaging back and forth for months, I actually do want us to meet asap) but please don't want to meet me just so you can stick your tongue down my throat. I want to be treated like I'm special in the most gentle way
   1. Has a car, so we can go do stuff!

Other misc things I like: Blue eyes (this isn't a requirement btw) soft and sweet boys, a little shyness is cute, someone who loves to spend time together and have deep, intimate conversations.

Basically, I am looking for a long term relationship. No FWBs, no "situationships," no "emotional cheating." I want someone who is completely single and emotionally/mentally available to connect with and (hopefully) fall in love. Again, I'm okay with long distance as well as long as we make plans to see each other regularly before we discuss making the decision of permanently closing the gap.

I just want someone to hold hands with, go out and do stuff, go on dates, lots of physical affection, cuddling up on cold nights, taking spontaneous drives with our favorite music playing, hanging out with friends, expressing physical intimacy, all of that fun stuff.

Oh btw, I am a switch that's into gentle femdom, I don't like anything rough or harsh. I'd much rather give you lots of kisses and cuddles. :)

There's tons more to say but I'll leave it there to give us more stuff to build upon. If you decide to message me, PLEASE put effort into it. At the very least, tell me the basics (age, height, hair color, eye color, body type, etc) your hobbies, your intentions for a relationship, and a recent picture of yourself. Whatever else you want to add is fine, longer messages catch my eye.

Also, put the word "Spooky" in your message so I know you actually read this.

Stay sweet!
