Karneios, 39

My name is Karneios, and if I were to sum myself up in a single sentence, I’d say I’m a walking contradiction, a creature of chaos and poetry, equal parts myth and reality. I’m not here to blend in, and I’m certainly not looking for anything ordinary. I’m here because I believe there’s someone out there who can meet me at the edge of everything, someone who can embrace the beautiful disaster of my Dionysian existence and reflect it back to me with that raw, emo intensity I’ve always been drawn to. The emo community has always felt like home to me. Not because I’ve mastered the perfect winged eyeliner (though I have my moments) or because I live in the shadows (though they do feel like a second skin), but because I understand what it means to live unapologetically in the depth of feeling. Life for me is a symphony of highs and lows, of love and loss, of rebellion and redemption, and isn’t that the very essence of emo? I’ve spent my life dancing between worlds, modern chaos and ancient myth, joy and anguish, light and dark. The truth is, I’m looking for someone who gets that duality. Someone who sees the art in the madness, the beauty in the brokenness. Someone who can handle the fire without trying to put it out. If you’re the type who thrives in deep conversations, who sees the world in shades of black but still searches for the spark of color, who laughs at the absurdity of existence even as it crushes you, then maybe, just maybe, we’d be an interesting collision of souls. I’m not here to sell myself as perfect. I’m far from it. But if you’re intrigued by someone who lives as loudly as he feels, who writes his own mythology while savoring every broken note in the soundtrack of his life, then I’d love to hear from you.

Yours in chaos and connection,
Karneios
