Hi! This is me. I like to describe myself as Penelope Garcia and Cyndi Lauper's love child. I've had my heart broken a lot lately but I'm going to give it one more try.

Part of the reason why I always try to "shine bright" is that I am in the process of reinventing myself. I was in an abusive marriage for 17 years. I broke free two years ago and am engaged to my high school sweetheart. I have always known that I am poly but haven't been free to be myself until I left my ex husband.

My fiancé and I are ethically non monogamous. I'm very big on the ethical part. No secrets, all partners know about each other and consent to be polyamorous. Anything else is a deal breaker.

Right now I'm the only one of the two of us that dates. Since this is a new part of my life my relationships have so far only been online. I am very open to a relationship that involves visits. But I want to take things one step at a time. This includes waiting to do video and voice calls, as that is a boundary of my fiancé's.

There are two major things that you need to know about me. The first is that I have a semi debilitating chronic illness. It causes debilitating fatigue and non refreshing sleep amongst dozens of other symptoms. I am no longer able to work so I have quite a bit of time on my hands. I love to crochet and do origami.

The other major thing is that my fiancé and I have a caregiving dynamic. I am his princess and he is my "Daddy" although he's more of a dragon who thought it would be a good idea to kidnap a princess and then ended up with more than he bargained for! I don't need my other relationships to have this dynamic but it would be nice to meet another daddy or at least someone who is familiar with littles.

Because I am a little I am quite needy and clingy. Because of that I really need consistency in communication. Getting a message around the same time every day really helps my anxiety. And then if you do have to miss that time I know that I will still hear from you sometime soon. Even if all you can send is "sorry, can't talk now but I will be back later" it goes a long way.

So if you're looking for someone to talk to daily and don't mind someone who can be a little needy please say hello! It may take me a while to respond because I like to take my time and respond to as many people as possible.
