My ideal lifestyle is one in the countryside, away from the smog, the rat races, the cars, the constant hurry. Growing one's own vegetables, building beehives out of spare wood, planting saplings to reforest an area, exchanging preserves with neighbors in addition to tons of other DIY projects. Making investments into solar panels, better insulation, passive heat exchangers, rainfall capture, etc. in order to life a self-sustainable life without needing to buy much. A life of learning academic knowledge, skills, instruments, crafts, creativity and practical knowledge. Figuring out how to enjoy any activity, instead of choosing just the few familiar ones. A routine of the exercise, meditation and mindfulness that keeps one grounded, grateful and aware of the lessons learnt. The ability to goof around without prying eyes, and the time to experience the childish delight of just being a part of the world. Few meaningful friends over large superficial groups.

I don't like the conservative rural lifestyles that seem the norm. Expedience is preferred over doing something right. Gossip is preferred over deep conversations. Calling someone a philosopher is used as a mocking statement. Pissing contests over meaningless stuff. And everyone seems to need to be right all the time, despite logic or evidence. I'd like to steer away from those kind of mindsets. To find a rural place with progressive people, where knowledge, humility, genuineness, adventurousness, creativity, tolerance, comraderie and kindness are emphasized.

Reason's why I'd make a good partner:

Avoiding egotistical thoughts. I detest the more usual kinds of normie conversations that devolve into competitions, fueled by insecurity. I want to be real with someone, vulnerable. I want to talk about deep, logical and mind-broadening topics. Even when not considering other people, I want to diminish my private consideration of ego adjacent thoughts. I've found that self centered thoughts often lead to anxiety, inadequacy, and fear, while thoughts totally devoid of self can be blissfully zen.

Living by the motto "If you love something, set it free". I'm keenly aware of how obligation can ruin even one's favorite activity. My struggles, my mood, my chores, my failures are my own. If a partner chose to help, I'd try to be mindful to view their help as something gracious, and not something to rely upon, something to begin to expect. No good deed should be punished by entitlement.

Structured care and change. While I think that I have a decent memory, I'm under the impression that we are very biased in our day to day thinking. We assume that the other person will understand words in the same way, that their preferences, morals and annoyances are similar to ours. Even when informed otherwise, it is hard to avoid falling back to the same old routine way of thinking. I want to write down these differences and regularly remind myself of them in order to avoid the small frictions, to augment giving.

If my ideal lifestyle and I seem appealing to you, please contact me through a message. Simple small talk messages like "Hello", or "How are you doing?" will be ignored.

Thanks for reading.
