[30/F/Chicago] Looking for someone who doesn't mind heavy stuff

Hey there! Happy New Year, if you're into that.

Unfortunately, i don't have very much going on in that department myself. I haven't really got a family, and the only 'friends' i have are just work friends, nobody i feel connected to or anything. I was going to play a computer game to distract myself, but someone yelled at me on it and now i just feel even worse.

I was hoping someone here, maybe someone who's also in kind of a sad or nostalgic mood, wouldn't mind being my new distraction — or the other way around. I know 'heavy stuff' isn't the #1 best seller when you're looking to start conversations with people, but i'd love to find somebody of a similar mind set to share things like this with. And i promise i do have some interesting things to say behind all of the emotional issues!

About me:

• I've recently turned 30, which i'm not super psyched about

• I live alone. Well, i have my cat, who is perfect in every single way... except for the fact that he can't answer posts like this

• I work in technology

• My main interests include computers, clothes/shoes/make-up, spending money, video games (mostly 'retro' ones, but some newer ones too), music, YouTube, politics/sociology, and cooking/eating

• I love learning about things, and have a very broad (though sometimes shallow) range of interests, from linguistics to psychology to wood-working to astronomy

• I am definitely what redditors would call an 'SJW'. I know that will scare some people off, but honestly that's probably for the best — i'm looking for someone to share mutual comfort and understanding, not a debate

All genders, orientations, races, ages, and locations are welcome, though i think we might have more in common if you were near-ish to my own age. I'm open to chat via (in rough order of preference) Discord, Skype, Kik, Cryptocat, or reddit PM.

Hope this wasn't too obnoxious of a post. Talk to one of you soon, maybe. If not, good luck with your own search!
