Building Relationships Like Stories: My Poly Journey [35 F USA]

[SideQuestPanda]

Hi all! I'm Kelsey — a 35-year-old autistic creative writing student and indie game developer. I’m proudly asexual, polyamorous, and neurodivergent. I thrive in relationships (platonic or romantic) built on emotional safety, clear communication, curiosity, and shared creative chaos.

My Life, Work, and Joys​

I study creative writing full-time and self-publish fiction and short stories
I design interactive horror games in Twine with emotional branching narratives
I make resin and clay art (some cute, some cursed)
I live with 4 cats, my mom, and a roommate
I listen to everything from lo-fi to 90s grunge to anime OSTs
I'm into K-dramas, psychological horror, Studio Ghibli, and story-rich shows
Writing and worldbuilding are how I process life

What I’m Hoping to Find​

Other polyamorous or ND folks who understand unconventional intimacy
People who are creative, nerdy, emotionally intelligent, or gently weird
Folks interested in QPRs, platonic partnerships, slow romantic vibes, or collaborative storytelling
People who respect asexual identities and are not looking for sexual connection

Not for Me​

One-sided relationships, casual hookups, or people who view polyamory as a loophole
People who don’t respect boundaries around asexuality or sensory needs
Ghosting, vague communication, or assuming hierarchy without consent
Fast-paced dating app energy — I’m here for slow, meaningful connection

Final Thoughts​

I love emotional storytelling, cozy horror, cats, rain, quiet adventures, and deep DMs. If you're someone who builds relationships like they're a long, comforting novel — I'm probably someone you'd get along with.

Feel free to comment or message if you think we might vibe. I’d love to hear about your world, your stories, and how you do relationships that feel like home

Hello Kelsey,

That's a good description of your life and personality, I look forward to your future posts. You are a talented person, and contribute a lot in your fields. I think Polyamory.com is lucky to have you. If you want you can read about my own history and how I got started in polyamory -- it's in the first two posts of my blog. If you have any questions for me just let me know.

Sincerely,
Kevin T.
