After spending the day around people I want real closeness instead of more small talk. I like slipping into ice-cold water because everything else goes quiet afterwards. Later I sit with a puzzle and soft music and feel my thoughts settle. Once a week I volunteer at the shelter – feeding, stroking, cleaning – and come home calmer. I’m looking for someone who also prefers tea and an honest conversation after work instead of another noisy night out. Someone I can be tired, funny or simply silent with, without it feeling awkward. We both respect boundaries. If you’d rather head out for a weekend trip or end up in a bar once in a while, write to me. What’s given you a real breath of fresh air lately?
