Hi everyone,
I'm a cisgender male in my late 20's looking to move into or establish a home/apartment that at least somewhat prioritizes communal living (think: occasional house meals, hang outs, shared responsibilities towards chores, etc - this really isn't even that communal, simply less isolationist thank many of the living situations we find ourselves in).
I currently live with three other housemates, none of whom seem to be very interested in the idea of sharing the above values which leads to a feeling of isolation and discontent.
I'd love to meet at least a couple, maybe more, people who are interested in building into their living situation a certain amount of the above communal ideals.
I'm seeking individuals who are willing to put in the hard work required to resist the growing trend of isolated living.
Communal living doesn't have to be an intimidating concept and absolutely is one that I feel should be collaboratively defined by everyone who plans to be involved in the home.
Which is why I hope this ad piques the interest of folks and allows a conversation to unfold between us.
For context, my current lease is month to month, so I'm not in any rush to find a new place and am planning to take an intentional route to finding my next living arrangement.
Here's a little more about me:
I'm a very accepting individual who gets along with folks of different backgrounds and orientations.
I love spending time outdoors and enjoy getting to know a neighborhood by bike or foot.
I love plants and relish taking care of them.
I think therapy is pretty cool and have been working with my own therapist for years on ways that I can bust out of old habits and ways of being.
I work full time at a plant nursery and will begin grad school in January (clinical counseling / therapy).
Ultimately, I'm in a place in life where I'm taking a hard look at how I relate to people and aim to relate in a more direct and compassionate way going forward.
Reach out if you also want to live more intentionally with others!
