Hello everyone,
I found this place through a wonderful dev I met on another website and I was interested to be a part of the community, so ...here I am :-)
I am a 27-year-old programmer, musician, linguist and eternal student from the Netherlands in Europe. I am fully blind , apart from some light perception, and have raged against the established framework of barely controlled chaos we call society to get where I am today. :-)
In my free time I , like stated, do a lot with music and langauges, I am currently studying three languages, in some of them devising more sane ways for a blind person to study them without having a lot of prior knowledge about the linguistical context, which can be a problem with non-latin alphabets.
I also enjoy watching shows, movies and anime and keep myself busy researching all sorts of topics, from cyber security to sexuality and from interhuman relationships to the etymology of the word banana. It ...can vary depending on my mood :-)
The stigma that comes with blindness is something I am well aware of, it is a failing of our species and I am delighted to find a community like this that, I would say, almost does the exact opposite from what is expected. I therefore want to be an open book to any of you who have questions about me, my blindness and how I do the things I do.
Relationship-wise I am a strong proponent of polyamory, after having experimented with both monogamous and polyamorous relationships. I chase a connection, not so much someone who is closest to me geographically but someone who is closest to me when it comes to mentality and personality will far quicker be considerd one of my peoples :-)
Curious about anything else? Well ...I'm a programmer, not a novelist, and this message is already running on way longer than it probably should. Feel free to reach out :-)
PS: I am so sorry for the incredibly corny name :-) I was struck with a severe lack of inspiration I'm afraid.
