27 [F4A] #Online #Tennessee - Artsy type looking for long term connections :)
Hello! I'm Fig! Looking for connections in and around Tennessee or anywhere truly!
**Plus-sized, bubbly, and in my late-20s (27, to be exact).** I’m chatty with the right people and always up for a good conversation!
I entered education to avoid being a starving artist (although I’m still dreaming of the day I get to guide museum tours—someday my ears will recover from the chaos of the classroom, right?). But I primarily teach preschool these days so ask me about the chaos that is today!
**Weird art hobbies?** Definitely! I’m into kite flying, crochet, basket weaving, and bookbinding. Recently, I’ve been itching to try punch needle art. Haven't picked up the crochet hook in a second but wanna make a sweater for my cat here soon maybe to protect him from the cold apartment
**Well-read and articulate?** Sort of! I’ve read so many research papers, my eyes might never recover. But I also love flipping through books full of pictures because sometimes, a picture really does say more than words. I'm also trying to put my kindle back into use reading some books that I've started and haven't finished to get back into that hobby as well. My thoughts move faster than my mouth (or fingers), so I tend to trip over my words or typos—fair warning!
**Steady, confident, and a bit unshakable?** Yep! I’ve worked hard on my mental health, and it’s paying off. I’m all about advocating for mental wellness and self-care—because, let’s face it, we could all use a little more of that in today’s world.
**Non-traditional for a mid-20s, artsy type with a bit of small dog energy?** I’m here for it! About five years ago, I made some adjustments to my life to enhance my personal growth—been loving it so far. My partner and I are exploring connections and friendships, and I’m excited to get back into the scene after focusing on school. (By the way, tell me your favorite fun fact when you message me, and I’ll share one of mine!)
**Queer activist upgrade**: I’m passionate about supporting and uplifting my community. As an agender person (all pronouns are fine), I lean femme but love exploring androgynous looks too. Also, I’m demisexual, so please be respectful in the DMs!
**Build info:**
* A bit under 6’ (I like to wear shoes that add a little height, but I enjoy being on the shorter side too—gotta love what you’ve got, right?).
* Blue eyes with central heterochromia, so they can shift in color depending on the light. I used to think they were green, and only sometimes blue.
* Long dark blonde hair with highlights, sides shaved (but not in a death hawk style). I enjoy braiding it to show off whatever design my stylist has shaved in this month. Fun fact: My hair’s been steadily graying for the past couple of years, and I’m loving it. Trying to use my highlights as a transition!
**IRL and online experience:** I’ve been around the block, but still open to trying new things, exploring different scenes, and building trust slowly and safely.
Feel free to reach out with any questions—posts like this don’t always cover everything, so I’m happy to chat more!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon!
