$160/week•27 year old non-binary
Hello, I am Tali (They/Them).
Currently looking for a place to live alongside kind people that I can balance rent with, as I need to leave my present accommodation which is a bad situation.
I have been looking for over 24 months to absolutely no luck and a really need some people to take a chance on me, I cannot stay where I am.
*My Interests:*
I am a creative by trade, and socialiser by nature. Life has not given me many, if any, opportunities but I have spent a lot of time focusing on the minutiae. Most of my focus exists in writing and media-analysis as a personal pursuit, but it is something I have lost most of my motivation for in the past number of months.
I care greatly about the digest of the human experience in that way, and I make the effort to do so further by understanding people. Thanks to limited options in my time, I spend a lot of it in VR meeting people and staying close with my few long distance friends who are extremely important to me.
I used to spend a lot of time on TTRPGs (Dungeons and Dragons), of all things that is still one of the aspects of hobbies I am most passionate to speak about, even if it is a bit distant from me now. I have been a GM for roughly a decade but am now moving to retirement, and settling on occasionally being on the player side of the table with some online friends.
It is something that I have taken very seriously.
And though I do not have the freedom for it right this moment, I would like to start moving back into more creative pursuits as life allows. I am planning to go back to writing, playing the Violin and digital art, and music.
I also spend time on reading and music. It has been a struggle to do so lately, but I do hope with more space it is something I can enjoy again. As well as the occasional video game.
*My Values:*
I am also an LGBTQIA+ supporter, and very open-minded. I am trans, panromantic and polyamorous myself. I am looking for a place that is going to be supportive of this, and have a similarly progressive approach to living.
Human kindness is a necessity and while I am fairly small world focused in my own problems, I am always there in order to listen to others'.
*What you can expect of me:*
I am deeply respectful person, and a hyper-communicator.
When it comes to a place of living, understanding boundaries, roles and such is important, but I am a proponent to always just speak.
If something is bothering me, I will say so. If something is bothering you, I would ask you tell me.
I exist in no-judgement. So I support you if you drink, smoke weed - vegan/vegetarian - if you are religious or not - live any non-conformist lifestyle. The only thing that matters is being honest and respectful, I have my own ways of living too.
I am also okay with animals, and fairly animal friendly, I have been around them my whole life. But I draw a line at untrained dogs, or pets that similarly act as constant living disruptions. If you have a cat, expect me to get attached.
I am fairly clean, I battle with executive function so I may struggle at times, but I will never intentionally create mess, and most of it will be restricted to my own space. However, I do like things to be pretty organised.
I keep to myself a fair amount, but I am huge on being personable if there is the space to do so. So in the event my fellow housemates are sociable there is a good chance I will be as well, but I need a lot of private time for my own stability. I do get along with all sorts of people, and mould well, so long as they are considerate.
*What I am expecting:*
I am looking for a place that is functionally mature. Where everyone is first and foremost comfortable and safe to live around.
I want people who are honest and speak what they need to speak. Are interested in being a bit personable but have their own space.
Are LGBTQIA+ friendly and non-judgemental.
I want the household to be at least somewhat consistent, in knowing where things are, and what everybody's responsibilities are.
I am looking for privacy and a space that will feel like I can actually live as me and exist safely. And take the long time I will likely need to recuperate my sense of security. A simple liberty I have not really been afforded in my life.
*Who I am:*
My whole goal and meaning is in human genuineness. The expression of authenticity and spreading self-love.
I do not really connect or mean much on my experiences, or in my interests/aspirations. But I will understand and relate on the deeply personal.
I am battling with many issues that have persisted for a long time. Much more than I should share here but a simple overview includes: Chronic Depression/Anxiety, Autism and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
I am very high-functioning in spite of this, but my executive function for tasks is extremely poor and locked up my ability to do a lot of things.
I hope to live on the small moments in life that everyone manages to miss in-between everything else.
I would like to one day move out of Australia as a whole, and be with my long-distance partner.
I speak a tiny bit of Japanese, and some Norwegian.
I am spiritually Animist.
I like to be happy, and appreciate simple innocent joys.
*What I am looking for:*
I am looking to hopefully find a place on the south-side of Adelaide. I do not have any location that is completely specific, I am malleable, so long as it covers my basic needs.
I need a room to myself that has space for all my belongings, as I will not be able to turn back once I move. I will be bringing all I (reasonably) can with me.
Unlimited internet is a necessity.
A place near public transport, or near town would be nice. Or an off-street parking spot, as I do own a car. None of this is absolutely required though.
Additionally, I have diagnosed medical sleeping issues, and have periods where I am either: perpetually nocturnal, get almost no regular sleep, or regulate at 12-15 hours of sleep per day. So a household that will not be too bothered by this, or has enough space that I won't keep people up when I am awake, would be quite helpful.
Most importantly, a place that is able to locate me very long term. I need time to sort a lot of my situation out, and will leave me with the stability to do so.
*My circumstances:*
I am on Disability Employment support at the moment. Thanks to a lot of damage across my life, I am trying to build things up slowly.
At this stage I am not sure if that means resolving things towards work/study, or if I will be transitioning to proper Disability support in the near future. It is not something I can know until I have a safer place to live, and how I function in response to that.
As a result of my current living situation and life, I do not have any employment history or rental history - and the longer that persists the harder it is to start either. I need a place that will take me on and allow me the opportunity to do as I need.
I do have some savings, and can manage my finances acceptably at the moment. I expect to be pretty stable as far as cost in rent and bills is concerned, as long as I am aware of the requirements.
I am currently spending time learning to drive, in hopes of getting my license as a step in the right direction. This particular long journey should be over in the next couple months.
And cultivating a support network of friends, so that I have something stable to fall back on whilst I do not have anything else.
Finding my creative pursuits, sense of self, what I use my time on, fixing medical issues and organising my future are all additional elements that are coming back into the picture slowly as well but with great difficulty.

If you have read this whole profile, I appreciate your time and consideration. I do not know what approach to take in contacting potential flatmates anymore, so I hope the amount of openness here acts better to get a concept of me that can inform your decision making.
Thank you very much!
