Hi there! I'm Seth. 38, New Zealand. Single. I'm looking for people to connect with, be it one-off conversations or potential friends. I'm not looking for anything romantic.

Some info about me:

I'm an avid reader, I wanted to own the library when I was a kid. I prefer ex-library books if I ever buy secondhand because it's kinda like I'm slowly achieving my childhood dream. I love thinking about where they've been and the stories they could tell if only they could talk. Books = life. I'm definitely one of those people that sniffs books in bookshops!

I code; I've been programming since I was 13. I taught myself as a form of escape from some things I was going through at the time. Code to me is a form of expression, and it's something that's very personal. I'm currently working on a 3D Engine for DOS, and I read programming books for fun (I have hundreds, it's a problem). I probably won't talk about this unless you ask or want me to.

Mental health and growth is important to me (anxiety and depression are very much things with me, and I've had some pretty intense PTSD in the past). I'm glad I've had those experiences though, I think they've made me a more compassionate person as a result, not to mention stronger.

I'm a very curious person, always have been. Experiencing people and the world is one of the most important things to me. It means more to me than money, stuff (well.. except books 😋), career.. the typical things men value. They're great and all, but they don't enrich me. I really just want to spend what's left of my life focusing on creativity, experiences and loving people. That's a pretty well lived life to me.

I love clouds, fungi, mountains, thunder during a summer storm, petrichor and the idea of what could be. I'm a dreamer. I make up stupid songs about what I'm doing at the time, even worse voices, hug trees, say 'Hello' to the birds, and love far too hard and too easy for my own good. Oh, I also swear like a sailor and have a filthy mind. Yay! 😅 I'm particularly interested in meeting people who feel they don't fit in anywhere. I was raised by a Spiritualist and practiced Satanism, Wicca and Druidism for a while. I'm pretty open minded.

Anyhoo! That's a bit about me. There's a photo in my post history.
