Let's try this again.

Made the mistake of suppressing my gender identity in my last post, so I'm doing this again.

Name: Ashley

Age: 34

I mostly post about: Currently, I am trying to get a life and to summon the courage to go out in my female form (I'm trans). Then maybe about my currently non-existent dating life. I am VERY romantic. I've never actually been in love, which is why it seems like such a desirable dream for me. I am in so much desperate need to love and be loved. Am lesbian but not opposed to sleeping with guys, as turning others on turns me on. May also post about my hobbies/interests.

My hobbies are: Fashion. I like dressing up, but not the high fashion stuff, 'cause it's bs and also because it's for cishet (cisgender heterosexual) folks and, lastly, I can't afford it. May post selfies of me in new clothes.

Gaming. Prefer the shorter and natural-feeling older games of the 2000s, but also like some modern JRPGs and online games. I have a Steam Deck, Switch and decent enough gaming PC. Sold my XSX, because gaming on the big screen makes me ill. Honestly, I wish I could game more, but my family stresses me out at home (yes, I still live with them), so I can't even focus on things like gaming or reading books.

Music. I like indie, metal, alternative rock, that sort of stuff.

Film. I like horror flicks and lesbian cinema. Might get back into anime, but... ehhh.

I'm looking to meet people who: Were you emo in high school? Goth? Yeah, me too. I know a lot of ya'll have babies now, but I don't know where else to connect with people my age, since I do not have a job and, by extension, life.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like it, as this is not a job, but I will try to post regularly.

Before adding me, you should know: I am very mentally ill, but working on it. However, if your buddies get awkward over my comments on your journal, that is NOT my fault. If I feel uncomfortable I will stop commenting, temporarily or completely.

Hi there, we have things in common! Also into gaming, a lover of alternative rock and metal and I was, I guess more of a loner than emo in high school, but I had some emo traits. I definitely realized that when I read some of my old poetry. I was more in the skater scene, which where I live and at that time, the emo, goths and skaters were kind of all part of a huge group, if that makes sense. Lastly, I was very much one who wanted to love and be loved so I can understand the feeling.

I'm also mentally ill as well. I'm also working on it too, but some days, it's rough.

Add?

Yes, let's do it.
