You work incredibly hard all the time — to provide patients or clients with care, support, and encouragement at work and your family with structure and organization and food and shelter at home. You’re bright and hardworking, sweet and giving, disciplined and dedicated. You take care of yourself when you can at the gym or on a run, and you keep the plates spinning, the planes landing, and the trains running on time.

You make it all happen all the time because someone has to. And you do love giving to other people and taking care of them.

But it can be exhausting too. And unappreciated. And taken for granted. And lonely when you seem more like a air traffic controller or executive assistant at home and a robot at work than a real person — a beautiful and sensitive and sensual woman — who also has needs and dreams and desires and your own identity and experience.

I understand that and want to applaud you for it. I know and see that you do all these things — take care and give to all the people you encounter at work from patients to clients to co workers and young people, support and care for and love and lift up your family at home, and barely find time for your own needs and wants and dreams and desires.

You are a great woman and a wonderful person. And you bring lots of energy and life to the people around you.

I understand because I know I feel that way sometimes too.

I’d love to connect and create a space with you where you feel that appreciation and support. Where you can shrug off the weight of all of it for a little while and laugh and smile and be seen. Where you can remember being sweet and funny and passionate and sensual and joyful and goofy and silly and sexy. Where the time is for you to be you and not the never ending to-do lists and outlook repression that rules the rest of your life.

Eye of a storm, secret garden, out of bounds date, chance meeting in transit, lacuna.

I’m the responsible dad and confident team leader. I’m the guy who shows up and quietly keeps the doors open and the lights on. I’m one of the unapplauded invisible machines at home that is part of the furniture sometimes. I know the feeling.

And I know you feel that you are still who you have always been — awake, alive, adventurous.

I appreciate you. Let’s find each other and carve out a space to just be ourselves a little.

I’d love to chat and talk and share a connection. I miss both real conversation and intimacy and believe that one flows into the other.

You deserve more and you are more.

I’m over 6’, athletic, brown hair, warm brown eyes, mischievous smile. I’m told I have a nice voice too. I work in finance and live in EST.

Please be female, 20s-40s, fit/athletic/slim. I’m particularly grateful to healthcare professionals and caregivers today though if this resonates with you please write.

I see you.
