Alwite there. I'm Joe and i'm on here, mainly, for music. New music, old music, all music (unless it's s**t!). No seriously, im not the judgemental type so feel free to request me. I may like it, i may not. I have a real diverse taste in music so you never know.
This is me:
I try to stay as positive as possible throughout life and it has helped me a great deal being this way. I have no visible struggles to people, but i have a lot of phsycological struggles, mainly with anxieties, which i've struggled with alot for quite a few years now & it has stopped me progressing with a lot of things in life. I've lost all the closest friends to me through it on top of so many other things and if i didn’t stay positive im pretty sure i would have crumbled a long time ago. But if you met me, you'd just think im as normal as they come, so don't think im as bad as it sounds.
I like to try to make people smile & be happy & make people feel good and as comfortable as possible. I think its cos of what issues ive gone through, i understand what things can affect people. In general, i like to do my bit to contribute in making the world a better place. Too many seem to wanna drag it/us down and i can never understand why.
I'm 21 & have morals and respect, which seems pretty rare these days for people my age. Too many, of all ages, seem to lack it.
I care alot about the natural world and really appreciate all things artistic and creative such as Music, Dance, Poetry, Film, Painting, Sculptures, Photography, ect.
I try not to judge anything by its cover or tarnish everything with the same brush. You may find the nicest person ever in a Hoodie, for example. I know from experience.... eh-hum....
Alot of People say im really funny. Alot of People say im really weird. Some people will think im just a d*ck. It’s JUST an opinion. We move on.
I like the simple things in life and money is not that near the top of my priority list. The world would get by much better with love than with money, in my opinion. Wouldn't that be nice. :)
I have goals and dreams in life and as yet, i haven't really even begun to extend my hand and reach them. I have my reasons.
One of my dreams is of a place of peace & happiness where me and my loved one live in a beautiful, quiet country house, not too far from the sea, away from all the noise and fear of modern day life and we spend our days in the fields, running around, singing and dancing. Both of us will play on acoustic guitars beneath a singular tree in an open field, beit a hot summers day or a winters downpour and just play all kinds of songs to fill our day. Then at night we would just cosy up together on the sofa under a blanket til it was time for bed where we would just wrap our arms and bodies around each other and remain this way until we woke. We'd quite often go to the seaside just to hear the sounds of the sea and to watch the sun rise and set and admire the quiet beauty of it all... It is a dream of love... a dream of happiness. Now that dream might sound soppy or boring to you but it is just one of MANY dreams that i have.
Hope you are all well.

Guillemots - Little Bear
Sigur Ros - Von
Here is an artist i love with a nice vid. Jono McCleery - You & Me.
