Hey prospective pen pals,

There's so much going on out in the world and so many people experiencing it, but sometimes it just seems difficult to find someone to actually talk about things with. I'm talking about getting past the small talk, how was your day, what's going on this weekend - I want to know your opinions, I want to discuss beliefs, I want to know what you think. Let's talk science, politics, memes, pop culture - let's learn from each other, consider different points of view, revel in common interests, and laugh. We can be serious, we can be light-hearted, let's just talk about it all.

A little about me for reference: I'm a 27 year old engineer, Texas born and raised. I've done a little traveling and intend on doing much more, but this will always be home. I'm an outdoors person, but not much for spectator sports. I love DIY projects and creative type people, and above all else, I appreciate someone with a well-thought-out opinions.

If you're interested in starting up a conversation, send me a message any time! Don't worry about the small talk - hit me with what's on your mind.
