Hi!

You know sometimes you're just staring at an empty screen and don't know what to say? That's what I was feeling there earlier, so I just literally stated that. In my head, I can feel what I'm looking for—intimacy, closeness, warmth, being each other's cheerleaders. How do you accurately encapsulate what you're looking for in a personal ad?

It takes some experimentation, to be sure. I'm looking for someone that understands that growth is rarely linear. Often growth involves 3 steps forward, 2 steps back, 1 step forward, 4 steps back, ad infinitum.

I enjoy talking walks and I've been getting into baking lately (I made bagels from scratch last weekend, and they were amazing!). I love Olivia Rodrigo (I admire her expressiveness, I vibe with purple, and I enjoy playfully sticking out my tongue.)

I also love taking courses and learning. Right now, I'm finishing up a somatic life coaching certification and plugging away at some astrology courses (super new to astrology, and I think it's interesting how complex it is...way beyond someone's sun sign or big 3.)

I like weird art, dancing/intuitive movement, and pizza (who doesn't?)

Maybe you like some of those things, maybe you don't. Hopefully, you'd like to hear me talk about my interests (I can get quite animated.)

I'm looking for a serious monogamous relationship. Ideally, you live in Chicago, but I'm open to long distance with the intention to close the gap.

I prefer hopping on an audio call straight away to gauge compatibility (I also just like hearing another lady's voice and connecting that way.)

If you resonate with this ad, please reach out! I'm looking forward to connecting 💜

p.s. Here are just some words: croissant, hand-in-hand walks, adorable, affirmation, darling, here to stay, grotesque (my all-time favorite word, despite its meaning), cheeky, aligned, energy, listening, red lipstick, kind thoughts, roasting marshmallows, and serene silence.
