Name: Bailey/Bai.

Age: 32. my birthday is 6/8/1990

Sidenote: if these kinds of things matter to you, i am an ENFP & a gemini sun, sag moon, and aquarius rising. ♥

I mostly post about: whatever i'm feeling in that moment. i love to write, so it mostly comes out in poetry, prose, lists or playlists, photos, cryptic subliminal posts, or sometimes posting about my day like a normal person. i post a lot about my son, as i'm a first time mom. but overall, my journal is just a catch-all for me feelin' too many feelings at all times, always. it's a safe space for me, and can be a safe space for you too

My hobbies are: you're welcome to browse my interests in my bio if you'd like or i'll just tell ya i'm into writing, reading, music, painting, journaling (both online, and hand-written; i'm currently very into bullet journaling), astrology, any form of art, houseplants, gardening, skateboarding, surfing, anything involving nature, hiking, camping, concerts, road trips, long deep talks, beading/bracelet making, thrifting, the sims 4, anything true crime or anything high strangeness (missing 411, aliens, cryptozoology, creepy, dark, mysterious, etc.), hair and makeup (i am professionally licensed to do both: i love making others feel beautiful and confident in their own skin), animals, playing any stringed instrument, psychology and how people's mind's work and why they do what they do, and many more things that i cannot think of right now, i'm sure.

My fandoms are: no hate to anyone who's into fandoms, but personally, fandoms aren't my thing.

I'm looking to meet people who: understand the beauty and nostalgia of keeping an online journal and the era of internet that WAS that time... i want to meet people who are passionate, welcoming, funny, weird, quirky, kind, emotional, sad, people who are interested in the same things as me, people who aren't like me at all, those who would like to be friends, -- basically no matter if you're like me or not, if you want to be friends, i'm down. regardless of your background, life, and history, regardless if we have things in common, i am so interested in people in general, and reading whatever they decide to put out there on their little corner of the internet. i welcome all of you, so if you wanna, please reach out!

My posting schedule tends to be: daily/weekly/monthly/sporadic/etc - all of the above. so i guess it would be classified as sporadic. i will say, right now i am updating daily... and will continue to do so as my schedule allows; even if it's just a quick post from my phone. i am currently super active here, and am trying to continue that habit.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: just being unkind and spreading unnecessary hate. that's really all i can think of. no matter who you are, i am not here to make your journey on this rock floating in space any more complicated than it has to be - and i don't tolerate that from others. i will never bully anyone else, so i don't expect you to bully me or anyone else. just be a good human, that's all.

Before adding me, you should know: i am a very open-minded person who posts whatever is on my mind. i don't censor any feeling i have. expect honesty from me about my life and what i feel and think. i've been diagnosed with ADHD and bipolar (specifically type 2), and i am a recovering addict with years time under my belt at this point. i am 420 friendly, and can't wait to see what cannabis as well as certain hallucinogenics can do for medicine in our future. i really hope the stigma around addiction and mental health won't steer anyone away - but if it does, then i don't think we were meant to cross paths in the first place. i will never tolerate racism or homophobia or anything along those lines. i don't necessarily post DIRECTLY about these things usually; i tend to post more abstract or cryptically about my feelings or experiences with these sorts of things. i don't tend to get into politics or religion; but i will go ahead and let you all know that i lean to the more liberal side of things. i am also more spiritual than i am religious. i don't tend to deliberately post about these sorts of things - that's just the vibe i give off. i do not mind anyone who has opposing beliefs and will only show love to everyone, everywhere. i accept people for who they are, as they come. ♥

other than that, i am just a tiny lil' quirky vegetarian gal from South Carolina, with a giant heart, too much hair, and too many feelings.i just recently found out i have stage 4 chronic kidney failure/disease. my kidneys haves stabilized at 25% healthy function, so no dialysis or transplant for now. i have frequent doctor's appointments so we can monitor things and keep them in check. i'm a licensed hair and makeup artist, was a bartender for ~8 years (in the service industry for ~12 years or so), but currently i'm lucky enough to be a stay at home mom. i would eventually love to go back to school for psychology (i have a few semesters of credits in the subject, but left for cosmetology school at the time). i'm engaged and have been since 2018 to my best friend, Andrew. i like to think i'm the perfect fusion of a punk and a hippie if you muddled them together in even parts. i was raised by my dad (a sort of bluesy rock musician) and my mother (an old hippie soul); so i guess i get it honest. i have one sister who has special needs (if you want to know specifics: she has an imbalanced translocation involving the 3rd and 4th chromosomes, it's very rare) -- and she speaks in sign language... so that is my second language. truthfully, i was signing fluently before i could talk. i love the outdoors, nature is my church. i've been to countless festivals and outdoor concerts and the like, but that has calmed down in recent years, as i am a new mommy. my son's name is Odin, and he's a little over a year and a half now. i had a perfect and healthy pregnancy up until (despite taking every precaution) i caught covid in the 3rd trimester. we had a very traumatic birth - i had preeclampsia that came on very suddenly, and had a scare involving an almost postnatal hemorrhage situation and near cardiac arrest: there was a lot going on. Odin was hospitalized for 3 long months due to eating issues, and he was discharged the day he turned 3 months old with a G-tube. we have made wonderful progress since, and he is such a happy and healthy little boy. ♥ we have two dogs named Turner and Hooch (if you know, you know) - Turner being my dog, a rescue shepherd/boxer/pitty mix, and Hooch is Andrew's dog - a giant black german shepherd/lab mix. we live directly in the country (all our neighbors have chickens = yay, free eggs!) but we are a 15 minute drive from the mountains (yay, hiking!), and about 3 hours from the closest beach (yay, daycations!). i strive to find beauty in the small moments. lately my blood type has been peach tea and matcha. i just believe we are all souls having a very human experience on this rock floating in space wearing our skin suits - and we must be good to ourselves, and good to others.

if you wanna be mutuals, i welcome you with open arms.
thank you for your time if you read all of this, i realize i typed a small novel without meaning to.
my bad.
