Maren Doyle
30 year old Project manager, occasional control freak, enthusiastic starter of hobbies. I moved to Silverdale five years ago and somehow never left. I work in construction, which means I spend most of my day making lists, fixing problems and pretending schedules are real things. I have a habit of getting slightly obsessive about whatever I’m into at the time. Books, cooking, houseplants, obscure podcasts, reorganizing my apartment at 11 p.m.—it varies. Single, happily so. I date, I flirt, I go out with friends, and I’m generally pretty good at enjoying my own life without turning it into a five-year plan. Currently definitely NOT accepting unsolicited boyfriend applications in my DM's. 🙂 I should probably exercise more. There. I said it.

“Mostly I’ve stopped checking how many minutes are left quite so often. Which I hadn’t actually thought of as progress until you asked.”

“I have looked at two gyms. Two. And the shoes are old. This is exactly why I usually keep personal growth out of the group chat.”
