Aren’t we all though? The years and relationships have chipped away edges and snapped off pieces that just don’t fit in this puzzle that is me anymore. I’m looking for someone who might benefit from my broken pieces and likewise someone who might have extra pieces that fit in my puzzle.

I can't complain about my marriage, it isn’t bad. I’m not looking to change my situation or looking for someone seeking another to change theirs. However, I’ve learned that it’s not fair to expect one person to fill me in all aspects. Therefore, I’ve taken the plunge and gone from ‘long time listener’ to ‘first time caller’, and here I am.

A little about me: I’m 50, fairly active, educated, have a career that offers the opportunity for ample free time, work from home, travel often, and appear, on the outside, to have my shit together. I'm est zone, so that or cst would probably work best.

On the inside, it feels like a goddamn beehive of chaos. I have a very active mind, racing from one side of the universe to the other and takes great effort to wrangle them in. Colleagues and friends will say I’m quick witted, even if I argue they are only half right. I’m a story teller and have many to share, as well as construct with the right partner.

I am unashamed and uninhibited to voice my feelings. I feel like I have a high degree of self awareness, but I might be confusing that with being aware of myself. I’m talkative and the ratio is often 2 messages sent for every 1 received – I have 0 expectation that people match my rate.

I am not looking for that same, I am looking for a compliment to me. I’m not seeking someone to build me up or validate me, I’m looking for someone real, tell me when I’m being an ass or am just outright wrong. I’ll debate, but I am honest with myself at the end of the day. Im not perfect and Ill fuck up, but I am quick to acknowledge, show remorse, learn, and be better.

I’ve typed too much already for a post that will most likely go unnoticed. But, if you’ve noticed, I encourage a message. You’ll either be shockingly surprised or offended.
