Hi...I’m a writer who values depth, clarity, and meaningful conversation. I move at a thoughtful pace and connect best with people who are curious and genuine. I’m using the no cost desktop version here, which doesn’t allow sending more pictures through messages. I have a lifelong love of collecting beautiful and unusual things — dolls, perfume bottles, antique cameras, compacts, pocket mirrors, purses, prisms, and foreign coins and bank notes. My largest collection is my compacts, now with around a hundred, many won through online auctions on eBay and Facebook Live; I admit I enjoy the thrill of winning. My interests stretch far beyond collecting: mythology, art, music, acting, writing, poetry, Shakespeare, antiques, and the study of Dissociative Identity Disorder all fascinate me. I’m especially drawn to the Impressionist and Fauve art movements, and Matisse — the founder of Fauvism — remains my favorite artist from that era. These are the things that shape my curiosity, my creativity, and the way I see the world. Independent, loyal, and emotionally steady. Looking for a committed, long‑term relationship — not casual, not FWB. My relationship style is living‑apart‑together: We’re together, consistent, affectionate, and intentional… we just keep separate homes. I want a partner, not a roommate. If you value closeness and independence, we’ll fit well.
