addme | Hello there!

I just recently returned from a health-related hiatus and thought I'd like to meet a couple new people :)

Name: Tina.
Age: Freshly turned 38 six days ago!

I mostly post about: My daily life and musings. Sometimes I also post surveys/memes, will share a song I found if I think my friends are going to like it and I do a weekly "What are you reading Wednesday?" post. My personal entries often contain pictures, but if there are more than three of them, I'll put the rest of them under a cut to spare your reading list.

My hobbies are: Reading, listening to music, hanging out with friends, taking walks, playing Pokémon Go (yes, "still"), taking pictures, going to concerts (when I can afford it), travelling (same), cuddling my cat, doing word searches, jigsaw puzzles.
My fandoms are: I don't really have any? I mean, I am a "fan" in the sense of liking things but I don't read/write fanfiction or the like. I don't have anything against fandom culture, in fact I love how passionate and creative people get about it! I just never got into it personally.

I'm looking to meet people who: are kind, empathetic, understand that life isn't always sunshine and puppies, and have a sense of humour. Shared interests are a plus, but not necessary - I have made some great friends on here who I have almost nothing in common with. I also find it so intriguing to learn about what people love and what makes them so passionate about it!
My posting schedule tends to be: I try to post at least once a week (not counting the "Reading Wednesday" entry). Same with commenting on my flist, if I have enough spoons.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: The usual (anti-feminism, queer-/transphobia, racism etc.). Both extreme zionists and anti-semites. I have been going through some health struggles in the past year or so (both physical and mental) and want to feel free to whine on my journal sometimes, so if you are a person who doesn't like "too much negativity", you might want to give me a pass. I don't mean to be an asshole, it's just that I am never sure where the line to "too much" would be crossed and in the end, either of us could get uncomfortable. I hope that makes sense?

Please also give me a pass if you think that autism spectrum disorders and/or ADHD are "overdiagnosed" or self-diagnosis isn't valid. I am very possibly on the spectrum myself and have been trying to seek an official diagnosis for years but it seems nigh impossible where I am, so this is a sensitive topic for me.

Lastly, I unfortunately have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth or just phrase things badly, which has lead to misunderstandings/drama before. So please, if I ever say something that ends up offending you, try to give me the benefit of the doubt and talk to me about it. I never intend to hurt anyone, and if I do, will apologize and do my best to make up for it. Sometimes I will just not realize I was being offensive, and I truly even appreciate the learning experience!

Before adding me, you should know: I think I've pretty much covered that above? Just wanted to say that I might sound "complicated" or unapproachable, but in reality I am really quite nice and love getting to know people from all walks of life. Please do comment on here before adding me, thank you so much ♥
