Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to read this post of mine.

Consider me your run of the mill nerd branching slightly out of her introverted shell in hopes of befriending like-minded individuals.

I reside in the southeastern United States – although I am longing to leave for elsewhere.

My skin tone is medium brown, my eyes and hair are both dark brown. I always wear glasses. I am 5'6" (167cm) in height and chubby/plus-sized.

I am lighthearted, expressive, curious and silly – while having quite a serious side when necessary. I am passionate about photography – particularly landscape photography – and traveling. I am a homebody currently but I have a strong sense of wanderlust; to have adventures and experience life to the fullest.

I have a soft-spot for animals.

I am not religious in the slightest bit. I do not drink, smoke or do drugs. I am left-leaning politically. I am childfree and always will be.

I value straightforwardness, honesty, empathy and compassion.

I like witty and dark humor as long as it is not very insensitive.

Horror, psychological thriller, high fantasy, anime and true crime documentaries are where it's at. You'll find me listening to electronica, lo-fi, r&b, hip-hop and rock music. I play an assortment of video games ranging from life and immersive simulations, a popular MOBA which shall not be named (if you know, you know) and MMOs.

I am searching for someone to laugh with, have meaningful conversations with and to confide in. Someone who I can be authentically myself around without judgment. Someone who genuinely wants to put forth time and effort into getting to know each other on a personal level and developing a meaningful long-term friendship. Someone to relax in voice calls with, watch movies, TV series and/or play video games together.

Signing off – even if the chances of finding close friends through a Reddit ad are questionable –perhaps even 0.1% – that is still greater than 0 and I look forward to talking with you nonetheless. ☺ If I caught your interest, tell me about yourself – the more detail, the better – and preferably include an indication that you've read the entirety of this post.
