7/28/24 - I've had multiple family emergencies and flair ups recently, I'm getting ratings in slowly, please bare with me. All swaps are sent out on time.

✩ I am still trying to figure out what’s causing my chronic health issues but I’m feeling a bit better now that I’m on a heart rate medication. Some days are better than others so if I don’t respond for a day that’s why!

✩ Howdy! My name is Ava or AJ! :-) I'm 21 years old, i use she/her and he/him pronouns (you can pick one to use, i don't mind!), I'm autistic, lgbt, my zodiac is cancer ♋︎, and I'm an infj!

I have no preference for anything specific. Everything is special to me 🧡 The only thing I ask is no tea since I don't drink it and no trying to push religious beliefs :( I like learning about all religions but I’d appreciate not being proselytized haha. If your curious on what I believe feel free to ask!

swapping isn't about getting exactly what you want, it's about the connections you get to make with people! I can’t wait to swap with you! :-)

I try to get my swaps out asap and rate as soon as I can, usually Monday - Friday! If you didnt get a rating or swap please let me know!

Anyway, that’s all for now! Hope you have a great day and best wishes! :-D
