I posted something similar before, but it did not gain too much traction, possibly due to time zones.

It would be cool to see a Lemmy online pen pal/chat pal thread. Tell us about yourself and your hobbies in comments! I’m a person in their 20s who likes world football, theoretical maths and physics, and FOSS stuff. I also like the outdoors and would love to share about outdoor adventures. Feel free to send me a message if you’d like to talk!

I really like your idea.

OK so I am 33M, i was addicted to drugs for my whole adult life basically up until over a year ago. I am a spiritual person, for lack of a better term. I have almost too much empathy for my own good. I love music. I play guitar and drums, write and record, for myself as therapy/meditation. I love writing poetry and im just starting to write my own story in a sort of stream of conscious style. I love all types of art, anything that captures the human spirit. I have a ton of wild stories of my escapades. I like lifting and being outside. I never went to college. I am a tradesman. I like to think im a good listener, who knows. I love talking to people, especially one on one. I like to think im honest, too much so. I can be quite entertaining, like a clown or jester. I am content with my life...for now. I'm kind of super into anime lately(3yrs). I'd also like to think I give somewhat serviceable advice, cause i Iived through a shit load of my own mistakes, and I am better for it. I practice reiki, and I believe the oneness permeating all things is malleable to the human consciousness... to an extent. I'm a fkn weirdo. Like a cat, I am entertained by very very small and seemingly meaningless and obvious things. I have an appreciation for life and its experience. I love thinking, learning and pushing the limits of my nervous system❤️
