English is not my native language, please excuse any mistakes! 🦋

Hi everyone! 🪐🦋 I'm in my early 40s (f), I like questioning things, and I'm looking for honest, down-to-earth conversations away from the usual social media noise.

I'm currently learning #CSharp and #HTML, and I'm fascinated by #robotics and #AI. 🤖

I love nature, the night sky, wolves and butterflies. My hobbies include drawing (digital and analog) and photography. 🎨📷️

My profile and header images are my own artwork! 😊 #MastoArt

My heart also beats for #fantasy, #scifi and #comedy in movies, TV shows and books; and musically for #Hardstyle, #Frenchcore and #oldschool. 🎧️💥

I'm looking forward to meeting nice people around my age! 💙
