Hey! I've posted here before but took a long break to just focus on myself, which was nice, but I think I'm ready to make new connections. :)

Usually I write a whole bunch of shit (you could still find it if you want all that) but I'll try to keep it less exhaustive and just let the winds blow where they may. So, I work from home, do photography and writing on the side, trying to branch out in both of those areas away from what I've been doing a lot of for the last few years (pro wrestling and gaming, respectively lmao.) I do sometimes write poetry, fiction, have dabbled in fanfiction in the past. Also finally getting through my book collection, almost done with The Secret History, maybe onto some historical fiction next. I do play games, lately smaller indie games, sometimes Destiny with friends, considering getting into TOTK but I'm not really a Zelda girly. Some music I've been listening to lately uhhh Melanie Martinez, Sleep Token, and whatever else that comes up on my discover weekly that's funky. I also love stuff like Hozier, MCR, Woodkid. I don't know what that says about me.

Some other stuff about me is I'm like 5'11 and chubby but working on it (getting back into weightlifting) and wait I'll just copy and paste this next part because I think it's great as-is: I believe in tipping and acab and blm. I can be morally stubborn and I think cilantro tastes like soap. I do eat meat frequently. If that's a turnoff, I understand. I'm mindful of my surroundings and of other people, and generally believe that we should try to make each other's lives easier through meaningful if brief contact. I drive really fast and swear a lot. I'm also pretty much sober? I'll drink and smoke a little socially (sometimes) but it's not really my thing. I'm not perfect and will never pretend to be, or expect you to be. I'm also a late bloomer with little experience but some shitty relationship baggage, but I try to talk about it openly. I'm like demisexual and my gender is kind of fluid, though I go by she/they. My parents don't know I'm gay and I don't know when they will, but they're not really people you would want or need to meet at this point so you're not missing out on anything. Here's me, it's an old photo but it's one I like and I haven't changed much, just imagine a little bigger lmao. Also monogamous! Oh and I wouldn't really consider myself butch or femme, I think I hover somewhere in the center. And! I have two cats.

What I'm looking for is primarily enthusiasm and communication. Obviously I want someone who has a robust life outside of me, but I can't imagine dating someone who I didn't want to talk to a lot, or play games with, or watch stuff with, or just share the daily mundanity of life and the very deep things with, and vice versa. It's not at all a 'text back immediately' thing (because I'm also busy and forgetful) but just 'if I have to be the one to initiate conversation most of the time I will feel like I'm bothering you and will probably just move on' kind of thing. Maybe we could write letters? God, imagine that huh. Or good morning good night texts kind of vibe. Otherwise my preferences aren't too narrow. I'm a little bit of a germaphobe, so maybe if you were too that'd be nice lmao. I would prefer no more than like 3 years younger/older age difference, and maybe in the same location generally, but I'm also willing and able to travel (enjoy it, even!) Oh that would be a thing is I'd love to meet someone who also likes to/wants to travel!

Well anyway I tried to keep that shorter but here we are again. Would love to hear from you if I sound like your kind of person. :')

Cheers! Have a good week!
