Hello Redditors...

This is a bit nerve wrecking but here it goes. I'm not really sure what to say so I'll just be honest. I've been feeling unusually blue and down lately after a missed connection / misunderstanding with someone I met here that I grew very fond of. And for someone who is an empath and usually prefers the company of higher frequency beings like animals, trees, and sunshine I do find myself wanting the comfort of a warm hug from a kind soul. I don't usually put myself out there, but even the strong need someone to lean on from time to time, yes?

I'm always growing and transforming, I keep pretty busy between work and a program I'm currently enrolled in, and have always been strong, resilient, and independent. I have good intuition, am typically introverted and enjoy my solitude despite being well socialized and friendly in group settings. I'm usually the one people gravitate towards when they have some heaviness they need to unload, and I've been the keeper of many a dark secret, but now I find myself the one wanting to find comfort in the presence of another. I usually find animals, poetry, my journal, and music to be the safest to turn to, in all honesty, and I spend my days working with dogs, which is amazing and wonderful, but I'm still human despite being deeply attuned to the etheric realm, and it would be lovely to meet someone of the two-legged variety that has the capacity to provide safe, compassionate, comfortable quiet moments, without the expectation of anything sexual. I'm open to ages 25 and looking for someone that is mature and grounded with enough life experience to understand the value of presence and authenticity, who is naturally caring and kind, and does not have a fragile ego. Humor and whimsy are also good and will be much appreciated. I am a 4w5 so I'm very comfortable with uncomfortable feelings, I don't need saving. Just companionship.

I'm equal parts left and right brained, can talk about any topic with greater interest in broader humanitarian causes and social justice, or things related to personal growth and self improvement, than politics per se. I have a degree from a fancy college despite my ACEs, first in my immigrant family to graduate, mentally and financially sound and responsible. I don't partake in drugs of any sort, nor shrooms, and don't drink though I don't mind if others around me occasionally do. When I'm not out walking/hiking or grocery shopping, I enjoy cooking at home, making eggs and pancakes and coffee for breakfast, and just putzing around my place tidying up, or sitting outside enjoying a cup of coffee or tea and listening to the birds. I lead a pretty healthy active lifestyle, am 5'4" tall and height/weight proportionate, with long brunette/dark hair, light tan skin tone, brown eyes, and glasses. Minimal makeup/natural look.

If you are similarly equal parts emotionally intelligent, mentally sound, financially responsible, with healthy self-esteem, generally happy with your work, and value integrity, kindness, and authenticity feel free to say hello.

Welp! I guess that about covers the major points. Thanks for reading!

Edit: I'm looking for local people only at this time with the possibility to meet irl, please include your age and location in your message!
