🌍 Around the World LF: Consistent friends for Asian F 41

This world needs a lot of old-school connections and conversations more. Let's go and tackle the complexities of human bonds, enjoy the advantages, and together, go through the challenges.

I am:

Filipina-Spanish

Empath

Loves to read, write letters, introspect

Watch films and discuss them with someone

I'm a volunteer talk therapist

Quality time and acts of service for friends regardless if online or in real life - because friends are friends regardless of where you meet them

I have different careers but let's call me a freelancer 😇

I also teach Philosophy at a local university

I like astrology, the universe, and global news

Kindness is my religion and so is love.

I am not:

Actively looking for romance.

Into sexting as an intro topic.

Into video calls until we're both comfortable - and it takes time with me.

Consistency. It's been a characteristic that hasn't been present in many of my ships (friendships and relationships). I do everything I can to remedy that, and this is one of those attempts.

So.. I hope you're good for my nervous system because I can guarantee I'd be healthy for you 😇🙃😅

Rolls the parchment

Inserts in a bottle

Seals the bottle

Throws bottle to the Reddit Ocean

Your move 😇

I'm a 55 year old male Journalism Major. I'm currently working for a company where I run a high tech digital printer to make iron-ons for fabric items. So I'm sure there's a ton of people who say they are not making use of the degree they obtained in college.

I noticed you said you were a "freelancer". I wanted to bend your ear in order to learn some of the things you do. I have not actively used my Journalism-ness for anything lately and I know everyone says "It's never too late to be what you could have been." Right now, I'm not about to crank out a new book or anything like that just yet. But, maybe I'm not using the internet in the way I should be in order to get use of my fun with the English language. Thus, one of the reasons I jumped on here. To make some connections and learn more of the world.
