Age: 30s

I mostly post about: Daily life - my thoughts, things I'm up to, things I've created (I'm an artist), my travels, movies I've watched, photos I've taken. The mundane and anything that grabs my interest. I try to find whimsy in everyday life, and I probably think too deeply about a lot of stuff.

My hobbies / interests are: Drawing, journaling on paper and stationery in general, reading fiction, watching movies, musical theatre, EGL fashion, playing The Sims 4 and Animal Crossing, Lego, learning languages, traveling whenever I can (usually on my own), and whatever actor I might be obsessed with at the moment.

I'm looking to meet people who: Thoughtful people who have similar interests and values. I'm looking for community and people I can connect with. I'm feeling very burnt out from social media and how loud and demanding it is with people just observing each other and nothing ever going any deeper than that. I miss feeling like I had actual friends on the internet, and learning about people's lives from all over.

My posting schedule tends to be: Whenever I feel like. Sometimes that might be daily, sometimes weekly. I try not to post any less than that.

When I add people, my deal breakers are: Bigots. People who exclusively post about fandom, fanfic, or book reviews and little else. As an artist, I'm anti-AI. And just mean, judgemental types, I don't have space for that kind of attitude in my life. Be kind or get out.

Before adding me, you should know: I have C-PTSD, hEDS, and I'm neurodivergent. I don't talk about these things much, but they exist in the background and shape much of my world.

Hello there, I feel like we might have been friends on a previous journal of yours? You sound vaguely familiar, at least. I might be mistaken though, if I am I apologize.

Anyway, I'm 37, living in Germany and also neurodivergent, although not yet officially diagnosed. I also love reading, travelling on my own and learning languages. I completely vibe with your opinion on social media, too.
Friends?

I haven't had a DreamWidth before, I used to be on LiveJournal but I haven't updated it since 2022.

Sure, I'll add you!

Okay, then I was mixing you up with someone else - my apologies!
I've added you back :)

You seem interesting! I will subscribe! (I don't currently grant access because everything is available for everyone on my blog, if that ever change I will most likely grant you access too!)

I added you back!

Thank you!

Hi! I use my Dreamwidth mainly as a journal, also. I do post about media I'm consuming, which are public entries; but everything else is friends-locked. I enjoy getting to know the folks on this site and completely agree with your sentiments about social media at large today (I still use it sometimes but yeah, definitely spend more time here).

Let me know if you would like to try adding each other!

I've added you! :)

Let me knwo if you'd like an Aussie who is a fellow ND :)

Sure, I've added you!

Adding back!

Hi there! You sound super interesting and I think we'd get along well. Like you I am also looking to make real connections on this site. I share mostly things about my every day life with a little bit of fandom thrown in.

Would you like to be friends?

Hello! Sure, I've added you!

I'm an artist too, anti-AI, and I'm here for the thoughtful people as well. I'm especially thrilled to see that you love language learning - I write in (simple) French sometimes and I wish people would appreciate that more! Add?

Hi, I've added you! I'm studying Italian, but I might understand a little French.

Don't worry! I put the translations too. I need to add a little Italian to my lexicon too.

Your username is going to remind me of "What is and what should never be" every time I see it. Hehe. I love that song, so it's not a complaint.

You seem interesting and I think we have quite a bit in common. I work on learning Spanish off and on, am also ND and mostly talk about IRL things.

I'm just getting started in DW land again after having not been here for a few years but intend on staying. Most of what I post is public currently but that may change over time. I've added you, feel free to add me back. :)

Hello! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I've just added you!

I would love to be friends! Add back?

Hello! Yes, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, it's been an insane week. I've just added you!

Wow you and I sound alike! I used to collect EGL fashion, loved LJ in it's heyday and yearn for connection deeper than social media likes. Friends??
