Hey there fellow writers and adventure seekers!

I've been mulling over the idea of having a penpal lately and thought, why not give it a shot? So here I am, hoping to find someone who enjoys the simple pleasure of correspondence.

Let me share a bit about myself. I find joy in the little things like capturing moments through photography, writing fantasy fiction, or letting my thoughts flow into poetry. I enjoy shopping, singing, candle making, and going on a leisurely walk. And oh, the beach – it's my happy place. I enjoy it most when it’s late evening and I have a blanket and I just write and watch people go by.

Life has thrown me a few curveballs lately and I’m used to just handling it on my own however it’s proving to be a challenge so hopefully I can share some of my thoughts. I've dipped my toes back into the world of dating, which has been an adventure in itself. Also, I'm taking care of my mom who's battling cancer. It's challenging, but it's taking me through a journey of forgiveness… lots of forgiveness. 

Recently, I received a new diagnosis from my doctor, shedding light on aspects of myself I've long pondered. This year has been a journey of self-discovery, filled with questions and revelations for sure.

On top of all this, I welcomed a mischievous little puppy into my life. Trust me, she's a handful, but her antics never fail to bring a smile to my face.

Fair warning about my personality – I'm straightforward, but it's always with good intentions. (kinda hard to tell over text sometimes) I believe in sincerity and kindness above all else.

One thing to note: I prefer not to exchange photos. If that's alright with you, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a message, and let's see where this penpal journey takes us.

Warm regards, V
