Ashlar or Ashella

I'm a 42-year-old non-binary individual who enjoys music, technology, yoga, meditation, martial arts, travel, art, and culture.

I work part-time (IT contractor and vocal teacher) and prefer living in a relatively quiet place, but enjoy some music at a reasonable volume (though sometimes a bit louder when I am practicing my vocals).

I'm a social smoker, working to quit. I drink socially, but not heavily.

I am acvitvely part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and out as a non-binary/genderfluid human.

I also volunteer on the organizing committees of 2 charities running community welfare events for Men’s Wellbeing Inc (“Menergy”, 8 years of service) and “Island of Men” (for the last 9 years).

My ideal home is clean and peaceful. It's a haven for creativity and self-reflection.
I like to cook sometimes, and share a meal with housemates, but will not home all the time (often travel and stay other places 2-3 nights a week on average).
Ideally I have somewhere to practice my music (primarily singing and guitar), and even better if there is a space where I can teach — I’m currently working to increase my number of singing students.

Though I don't own pets, I appreciate animal-friendly spaces (grow up with dogs, but also love cats — I get along well with the vast majority of animals 😸)

Full disclosure (as I highly value honesty, integrity, communication and transparency):
I am recovering from a spinal injury, 3 lumbar fractures, so am sometimes limited in my activity, but I have recently been approved for NDIS and getting support with rebuilding capacity, and will soon have a support worker to help some days around my home.

I am also neurodivergent: Autism Spectrum - level 2, ADHD and BiPolar type-II (the latter two of which I have medication for and am stable on).

And I am on a never-ending quest of self-improvement. Always learning new things, and constantly working to better myself, I love to surround myself with people on similar journeys.
Primarily, I am currently working to improve my work/life balance, nutrition, and sleep hygiene and structural patterns.

If you have any other questions, I’m more than happy to answer them… Please send me a message and ask!
