♦ Basics Name: Tina. Age: I turn 36 in 12 days! Pronouns: They/them or she/her are both okay. Personality Type: Hmmm...I did that one ages ago, so I am not sure anymore. I believe I got INFJ, but I could be wrong. Country: Germany.
♦ Spring Is Here! Is it spring yet in your part of the world: Yes, finally! We went through a cold snap for the past two weeks but it is finally getting warmer again now. What's your favorite thing about spring: The weather getting warmer and sunnier - in the past years, winter has been mostly rainy, gloomy and wet here which makes me depressed. Also, the flowers popping back up is just beautiful. Have you been doing any spring cleaning: A little bit here and there, when I've had the spoons to do so. If comfortable sharing, any spring goals: Nothing in particular, I have goals for the year as such that I am working on. What are your likes or dislikes about spring: Likes: pretty much what I listed above Dislikes: allergies acting up - some years are worse, some years better. Also, extreme temperature swings that have been worsening (thanks climate change!). For example, a couple weeks ago temperatures went from 27 C to 6 C in the span of three days, and my body doesn't like that at all. All in all, though, I like spring.
Do you have any spring-based hobbies: Not really? There are some hobbies I do more often, for example taking walks. Do you have a favorite flower: I know they're considered "funeral flowers" but I think calla lilies are beautiful. Lilies in general are! I also love sunflowers. Do you like being outdoors or prefer staying indoors: I do enjoy being outdoors but sometimes I need to retreat into my apartment to re-charge my batteries. Do you have any spring-time (or in general) photos you'd like to share: Not at this moment! I do share lots of pictures on my journal which you will see if we become friends ;)
♦ Friending and Your Journal What qualities are you looking for in a friend: Kindness, empathy, understanding for mental health issues, sense of humour. How do you like to communicate: I mostly communicate via comments, either on my own posts or on yours. I am not a person to communicate a lot outside of here, unless we've known each other for a while. It's not because I am arrogant or don't want to get to know you better, I'm just shy and it takes me a lot of energy to keep up with writing with a lot of people. Do you do friend cuts? If so, how often: Not anymore. I sometimes don't have enough time to write here regularly so I would be a hypocrite to cut people for inactivity! I would only cut if you wrote something extremely hateful/that goes against my values, but I haven't had that happen so far. (and I do try to talk about things first in case I misunderstood something!) How often do you post: I aim for a general life update once a week. What do you post about: Life in general, pictures, travels I do, holiday wishes, occasional memes/surveys. Basically anything that goes through my head and that I deem worthy of sharing. Is there anything you're not looking for: (Feel free to put dealbreakers here too) - People who need everything to be 100% positive all the time. While I don't think my journal is particularly heavy or "emo", I do deal with mental illness issues and want to feel comfortable writing about them. That's not supposed to sound mean at all, but if somebody's dealbreaker is "too much negativity", I would become anxious and worry all the time where my posts started crossing that person's line of "too much". If that makes sense? Again, no offense meant towards anyone personally ♥
- On that note, intolerance and/or prejudices towards mental illness.
- I know that nobody would probably call themselves a "bigot" but the usual bigotry/"ism"s or right-wing politics.
- People who only post about their partner/spouse and/or children, or the heavily religious. (Being religious/faithful is completely fine, but if you think your religion is the one "true" one and everyone who does not follow it goes to hell/is less than, that's not acceptable!)
As for the partner/children aspect, of course there is nothing wrong with that, I just wouldn't be able to relate because I personally do not have either.
I know I might sound a bit complicated or demanding but I am really quite friendly, so feel free to reach out ♥ I am looking forward to getting to know individuals from all walks of life! Also feel more than free to ask for clarifications on anything I write, sometimes I am bad at phrasing myself.
