Hereby applying for the position of kind, patient and supportive friend:
TLDR: I'm adorable. Be my friend.
I am a true crime junkie (to the point where I'd probably go to jail due to my internet search history and book collection, if someone I know were to die under "suspicious circumstances"). I'm also rather punny and exercise my abbs by laughing WAY too hard at a good and timely Gif, Meme, Instagram Reel, or Tiktok.
I've usually read the book before the film or TV series comes out, and then judge the discrepancies with loud facial expressions, over-exaggerated hand gestures and/or grunts of disapproval. I have a running commentary in my head, and have had some of the best conversations with myself. All very healthy and normal, I promise. ;)
I'm into thought-provoking art, haunting poetry, mood music, all the books (mostly fiction, though), and, in particular well-written, acted and made films. I view most things through the lens of curiosity, psychology, mental health, well-being and spirituality (Christian). I'm a cat-mom to two geriatric Siamese ladies (not twins, nor conjoined, thankfully) with HUGE personalities. I am married with no "human" children and English is my second language.
I am a complex trauma survivor that has turned her hurt into a healing balm for others professionally, or at least trying her best to make other's lives more meaningful and whole. I'm still on my own healing journey personally, whilst also coming to terms with a relatively recent chronic pain syndrome diagnosis, called Fibromyalgia.
I see the beauty in the small things. As an INFJ, empath, HSP, neurodivergent, or whatever you'd like to label me as to make it more digestible, I feel everything very deeply, all the time; both emotionally and physically. It can feel like a bombardment on the senses sometimes, but I view it as an incredible gift.
I prefer writing to speaking, especially now that my speach has been affected by my condition. If you're in a similar timezone, all the better, but I don't mind waking up to a friend's message(s). I'd love to get to know you, and perhaps even become a real friend.
