..because I made a long post.

Every once in a while I have these dreams where I'm with another person and I feel complete. Sometimes it'll just be us talking. Other times we're on some crazy adventure, hiding from a threat or fighting a crazy mythical creature of some kind. The dreams are always different but the feeling stays the same. I feel safe with no pieces missing. Then I wake up feeling an overwhelming sense of longing.

Maybe I've read too many books and my mind is full of too many ideals. At this point in life I should accept that person in my dreams who fills the other half of my heart isn't out there. But I can't, I won't accept it. Even if I never find it I'll always have hope that the all-consuming love I've thought endlessly about since I was a little girl is out there.

I sat here and tried to come up with a clever segue to writing the selling points about myself but I couldn't come up with anything worthy, so I'll just go for it.

I mentioned that I've read a lot of books, I stick almost exclusively to fantasy. I like having a little escape from reality and I could never really get that from other genres. Sometimes I'll read epic sagas (think Mistborn, Night Angel Trilogy, etc) and other times I'll get really into the smutty side of fantasy (books I'm slightly ashamed to admit reading). I also love going on little adventures; finding pretty waterfall hikes, camping near the beach, going to theme parks. I have a collection of boardgames I wished I used more often but I struggle with putting in the energy in getting a group together.

I value intelligence, kindness, and ambition. I have a successful career and I've put a lot of energy into making sure that I was able to get to a comfortable place in life. The one thing I'm missing is that feeling from my dreams, the person who wakes up and the first thing he does is look to make sure I'm next to him.

If any of what I've written resonates with you then I look forward to receiving a long, well thought out message! I would rather us start off writing walls of text to each other than exchanging shallow small talk. I'm sure that is going to greatly limit my responses but like I said, I'll never give up hope that my person is out there!
