Just an exploded egg looking for a friend or two in the community. I don't want to say I'm wholly new to the experience of polyamory, but I am definitely a low level adventurer. I'm in a delightfully enriching marriage to a spouse who has known her whole life that she's polyamorous and recently grew to accept it as her truth, and I...well, didn't. In all honesty coming into the whole thing was a very jarring and rocky experience. To an extent it still is, as I think growing pains are a constant companion in a relationship built around the concept of personal growth. I'm an auDHD millennial who spent most of their life cosplaying as an undiagnosed cishet monogamous man (there is nothing wrong with any of those things, they just weren't me), and in the last ten years has grown into a person wholly removed from that identity in the best ways possible. To that end, I found myself here.
I'm not opposed to friendships with male presenting folks despite the title, by the way. I have just always related better/more openly with female presenting people. The comfort level is higher, and I feel less of a need to be someone I'm not. A trauma yet to be fully unpacked, as it were. Exceptions obviously exist and every human being is different.
Some less personal things about me now that I've yapped sufficiently enough to let anyone who's gotten this far know that I'm not great at brevity or small talk: I adore crafts, but do almost none with the exception of cooking. I spend entirely too much time thinking about the way the intention of various forms of art are almost entirely misinterpreted by people who consume them most. Video games are a wonderful form of escapism. So are ttrpgs. TCGs too. And board games. I like games. I like most things honestly. Though, if there's something I don't like I tend to be pretty rigid about not liking it (for me. I'm never one to stop a person from enjoying their own enjoyments unless it's something just really disappointing or awful).
Anyway, yeah, that's me mostly. Message to unlock more lore and friendship levels potentially!
