In Greenville, SC for a conference, but otherwise, Kansas, BUT, otherwise, Idk, traveling for someone sounds like a fun adventure.

But, I don’t want to be anyone’s challenge. I’m not someone’s broken accessory to be put back together. I’ve sailed away from the island of misfit toys on a promise to be back with something bigger. Because no man is an island.

Idk man. Metaphors.

I want to feel something again. I want someone to sing “Come to Your Senses” to me. I want to feel a safe spark of development that tells me that all my dreams of endearingly awkward meetcutes and feelings of intensity aren’t just lofty ideals.

My career is going fucking great (I change young lives in the most optimistic sense, and teach them day to day from a realistic sense. There are other developments here I’d love to talk about privately).

Because of some favors to a colleague and some really good friends, my 30s are becoming a new period of my life where I am really exploring theatre. I am 2-left-feeting through a musical, and somehow feeling more confident in my singing because of how comparably comfortable I am with that.

I need to get back to writing. I’ve self published a novel and am working on a second. Unrelated, except for maybe a “spiritual sequel” situation.

I’ve been playing a lot of Elden Ring and dabbling in Twitch streaming. If that’s something you’re into (right now the games are just supplemented by my deep cadence, haha, but we’ll see how things develop), let me know.

I’m down for streaks and audio notes. Phone calls and game sessions. Good morning texts, etc. I’m not trying to step on anyone’s relationship toes, nor am I trying to piece together some kind of deeper-than-platonic relationship that might not naturally be there, good friends are also a great development.

But Christ, I miss feeling things. And if you really want to share in that sonder, we can talk about those things too.

Send me a pic with your message? Here’s me, in one of my favorite shirts, from one of my favorite memories. https://imgur.com/a/kvAS5ju
