What do you like most about where you currently live?

Where My Heart Belongs

I’m not made for the city —
not for the noise, the rush, the endless grey.
If I could choose my forever,
it would be a small, private farm — tucked away.

Horses grazing at dawn,
goats bleating softly in the distance,
the simple rhythm of nature
calling me back to myself.
No crowds. No pretending.
Just open skies, muddy boots, and quiet joy.

A place to feel free,
and finally,
a place to call home. ❤️

What are your favourite leisure activities?

"Let Me Get Lost"

Let me wander where the wild things grow —
where maps are useless and time forgets to chase me.

Let me get lost in the hush of tall trees,
in the dance of wind through leaves,
in the rhythm of hooves across soft earth.
Let me forget the city —its concrete pressure, its flashing lights that blind more than they guide.

Let me trade it for stars,
for mud on my boots and the rawness of real life.I don’t want a schedule.

I don’t need a signal.
I just want stillness…
a place where my thoughts quiet down
and my spirit rises up.
To get lost — truly lost —
not in fear, but in freedom.

To explore without looking for anything
except myself. To be unfound by the world,
and finally, found by the earth.

Where in the world are your favourite places?

That Place I Long For

I've yet to find that place.
But I know it exists —
Somewhere warm,
Always near when my soul feels cold.
A place that doesn’t drift too far,
That doesn’t vanish with the sunrise.
Not something fleeting,
But something faithful.
A daily parting would feel too much.
Because this place —
It holds the rhythm of a heartbeat
That echoes my own.
Chest to chest, breath to breath.
To be held, not just touched.
To be known, not just seen.
To be safe, in the warmth of something real.
That place…
Isn’t just a house, or a landscape.
It’s love —
Living and breathing,
Wrapped in arms that say,
“You’re home.”

Where in the world would you love to visit?

I would love to go to Norway, to see the Northern Lights,

What would you do on an ideal date?

An Ideal Date?

An ideal date is one where there’s no awkward silence —
just that effortless flow of conversation, where nothing feels forced.

Where laughter comes easy, and we can just be.
I’m hoping to find not just chemistry, but balance —
a space for open honesty and real communication.
Somewhere we can both show up as ourselves,
with no games, no masks — just genuine intentions from the very start.

Consistency matters. So does transparency.
And maybe, just maybe… that little spark ✨️
that turns something simple into something unforgettable.

Would you like to use this for a dating profile or message? I can tailor it even more based on your tone or intention.

What are you looking for in a partner?

I'm looking for a good-hearted, emotionally available man — someone deeply compatible on every level. A sensual kisser, yes, but more than that: someone who can stir the soul and unlock the mind. A man with depth. A mind so profound that we connect on a sapiosexual level — where thoughts become foreplay and curiosity is intimacy.

I have a genuine desire to find love — real, lasting love. The kind that grows with time, built on strong emotional connection, honesty, and aligned energies. I’m seeking that bond that doesn’t just spark — but burns slow and steady, becoming something powerful and unshakable.

I still hope to have one more child, while time allows, and I’m open to marriage again — but only if it’s right, real, and grounded in mutual love and respect.

I dream of that happy, balanced family life — full of warmth, laughter, and purpose. If your heart understands this kind of depth, we might just be what each other has been waiting for.

What makes a good relationship?

Let’s Begin With Truth...

Let’s begin as friends — not the kind of friendship that dances on the surface, but one where we peel back the layers slowly. A connection that grows in quiet moments and shared glances, in conversations that drift long into the night. I want to explore your mind, not just your body — to wander through your thoughts, your dreams, your scars.

Let’s take weekend trips not just to places, but into each other — into the unspoken parts of who we are. Let’s laugh until we forget what time it is. Let’s cry without shame when we need to. Let’s be real, not perfect. Flawed, but deeply felt. I crave honesty like oxygen — the kind that leaves no room for guessing, for games, or for masks. I want someone who meets me there, where communication isn’t a chore but a language of love. Where needs are not hidden, but honored.
.
Intimacy for me isn’t optional — it’s life-giving. I want a connection that is physical, yes — wild, hungry, and daily. But also emotional and spiritual — something that touches the soul as much as the skin. A bond where we feel free — to love without rules, without limits, to be fully alive in each other’s presence.

I long for a love that laughs freely, that feels safe and passionate all at once. Where happiness isn’t forced — it just is. A love where we don’t just survive the world, but create one of our own inside it.

What makes you laugh?

Yes, the flat Earth belief definitely raises some eyebrows in this day and age — especially when there’s so much solid science (and satellite photos!) showing otherwise. But hey, the world is full of wild theories, and sometimes all you can do is shake your head and carry on.

Mr. Bean — now that’s universally relatable comedy! No words needed, just pure, awkward genius. Rowan Atkinson really nailed the art of being hilariously expressive without saying a thing.

What music do you like?

Lady Gaga, Coldplay, The sound of silence, Adele, Amy wade. Dylan Matthew, love come, November rain. Lewis Capaldi, Classic soft rock. Die with a smile, calum Scott. Lisa Loeb, Stay I missed you) Metallica, 10, CC, 🎶 🎵

What has been the highlight of your life so far?

Despite it All

Even in the darkest moments — when it feels like there’s no hope, no future, no happiness —

I held on.

I fought for what I wanted to accomplish.
I knew the journey would be difficult… filled with heartbreak, with setbacks.
Like a caged animal trapped with no wayout,I waited.Until one day — I didn’t wait anymore. I left. With just two toddlers, a double buggy, and a few bags…
I walked into the unknown.
We were homeless for 18 months.But I never gave up.
Because sometimes, the only option left is courage —

Raw, remarkable courage.
I fled domestic violence in 2022.
That was the start of our freedom.
We’re still adjusting, still healing…
But we are free.
Now, my dream isn’t grand.
It’s something real.
To find my best friend —
Someone to share life’s quiet moments,
To laugh with,
To rebuild with.

That… would be my new highlight.
That would be my happiness. 😊

What are you looking forward to in the future?

To Feel This Deeply

I want to be happily married. To have one more child.To become that HOT, fierce, middle-aged mama — body, soul, and spirit — glowing with confidence, with a life built on love, success, and joy. But sometimes… it hurts. Because I feel too much.

I feel things others can’t. I carry not just my own pain, but the weight of people around me. Even the ones who hurt me. And still — I reach out.

My kindness often gets taken for granted.
But I still want the best for others. Especially for the good ones. To help them rise. To believe in them. To push them beyond their fears and into their full potential. Because life’s too short to sit still.

If you’re not scared, you’re not trying hard enough.If it doesn’t shake you a little, it’s not growth. So leap. Take that chance. Go after that wild, fire-breathing dream.
We only get one shot. And I’m going to take mine. ❤️💋

Conversation starters

Does size matter?

Only when you're stepping beyond the familiar. When comfort zones are shattered by something so intense, so consuming —That it moves you to tears. Yes, in those moments, everything matters. The depth. The presence.
The way it makes you feel something real. I self-medicate quietly, in my own space.

I live with ASD and ADHD — a brain wired for more.More connection. More stimulation. More meaning.

An addictive personality, not for substances, but for souls that vibrate on my frequency. Until I find a mind profound enough to anchor me, I remain in motion — always searching.

I am not perfect. I don’t pretend to be.
I’ve known what it means to be misunderstood, misjudged, mislabeled. But in every flaw lies a story. And I am not here to hide mine — I am here to honour it. Normal? That word holds no weight with me.

I am unique, and that is my power.
I find freedom in the raw, wild places —
In the wind across an open field, In the bad singing that makes my soul smile,

In paint-smeared hands and late-night thoughts. I don’t want polished or plastic. I want real. I want to feel the earth, the music, the truth in someone’s eyes.

If you’re someone who dares to feel deeply, Who values honesty over ego, Who finds beauty in the broken edges — Then maybe, just maybe, we’re meant to meet.
