Greetings! I am looking for connections of any kind - with hopefully one of them turning into a long term relationship.

You

• Age ~25-40 for a relationship - but love friends of all ages!!
• Are yourself, fully. Life's too short for anything else.
• Have a heart full of kindness. This is the most important to me.
• Care deeply about and look for the best in other people, but also have healthy boundaries
• Enjoy staying active/busy most of the time, and savor the simple things in life

<chat/message me all the other beautiful and awesome/quirky things about you>

Me

• Transfem (like 5 years now). A quiet/introspective femme personality wise that looks slightly masc on the outside. Pass pretty well, and am happy to send pics on request
• Long'ish blonde hair and light blue eyes. People usually assume I am college age or just past (nice while it lasts, I guess?). Slim and fit, but not muscular
• I am intellectual on the outside, but inside, I am deeply emotional. The INFJ personality describes it really well
• I love to nurture...when another person wants that. Nothing worse than someone who does this in a condescending/unwanted way, right?
• How I treat the people around me is so important to me. That concern is the drumbeat of my consciousness
• My day job is an internet/network engineer. Currently, most of my free time is spent volunteering for/with people who are homeless and hospice patients. I hope you would be OK doing this with me sometimes. It is such a beautiful experience
• I do not smoke or drink, have no kids (but love children), and lean strongly left!
• I am a hybrid (i.e. I run on [audio]books, and tea). ~1200 books so far, and I am not going to admit how much tea I drink, haha.
• Minimalist - pretty much everything I own fits inside of my Honda hatchback
• Am generally positive and grateful (I say thank you way too much, lol)
• Accepting and nonjudgmental - perhaps to a fault? (it's landed me in trouble a few times)
• I try to never attempt to change anyone other than myself. I do have a tendency to be too hard on myself though, and am working on that
• Rather shy and quiet. I have had many people tell me I have a calming presence. I find that a bit weird as I feel my mind is always whirring - but a oddly large number of random people/strangers tell me this
• My fun/joking side comes out most around those I am very comfortable around
• Love hiking and being out in nature. My happy place is traipsing along the section of the Pacific Crest Trail I live close to.
• I like to stay busy and productive as much as I can - though I enjoy downtime also - especially gentle/quiet/simple moments in the company of someone else

Alright, you reached the end...Thank you for reading, and I hope to hear from you. No matter what, I hope good things happen to you.
