By different, I mean weird.
A bit about me: I grew up in the tobacco fields of the South. I have strong opinions about it, but not the accent. I used education to escape and am lucky enough to have lived on both coasts. I have worked super hard and pushed myself for so long that I’m now full of existential dread when I don’t have some task looming over me.
I have a kid, a failed marriage (Imagine a graduate student working full time with a newborn and an unsupportive partner) and no contact with my family of origin. Hence I am here directing my energies into the ether to see who arrives.
I feel an overwhelming pressure to appear less cynical than I am. I figure we are all doomed and if this is a party at the end of the world no one wants to hang out with the mopey guy complaining about it. Overall I’m pretty disgusted by how we all treat each other and think we should be ashamed of ourselves. This necessitates that I curate my relationships: I’m truly only interested in meeting exceptionally kind and empathetic people.
I have interests!

What I really am interested in is learning about the perspectives, lived experiences, and motivations of another person. I want to really understand at a deep level who someone is and why they are that way. Hopefully our conversations in service to this goal are mutually enriching.
