I realize this is an unusual post, but I'm not like the others. I am an energy worker, empath, and light worker. In that context, I don't believe physical proximity is needed for cuddling.

• Me: Overthinking, shy, introverted nerd who seeks someone to fall in love with my mind. Anything else should follow naturally after. Alternating between knowing my power and feeling fundamentally misunderstood by shallow "societal norms". History and time travel are my primary means of stress relief.

• If it takes me longer to respond, it doesn't mean I've lost interest or gone to somebody else. Most likely, I'm just pondering, or dealing with adulthood on a weird working schedule. In fact, I'm extra unsure about posting this now, so I will take whatever time to compose my mind before responding. My love language is words of affirmation, and that starts from the very beginning. Hopefully, I'll make your patience worth your time. If you truly understand why taking time to think is a necessary thing, that will help us both.

• I don't believe in limits. If I tell you I'm with you, it means just that. Please don't tell me that's impossible because I'm here, and you're x miles away there. Energy is real. Hence, the cuddling over distance. Really, please don't tell me anything is impossible. It will just make me try harder.

• Oh. It says my age up there because I follow the rules, but I refuse to grow up. Adulthood only when necessary. Don't listen to muggles.

• You: I don't have a whole lot of expectations. Just be honest, don't fake it, don't be a bot, and be who you say you are. I seek permanence in a world that is too often sadly and profoundly temporary. So please, if you contact me, be prepared to stay. One more thing: As I alluded to above, please know and understand that making this post is a big, brave step for me, and be patient and nonjudgmental as we figure out the ropes. But all that said, the cuddles, please?

• There's a fine art to laughing at your own joke. Nothing better than giggling together during the cuddling. That's a form of affirmation.

Thank you for reaching the end of my humble post. Roll for initiative?
