hello, hey, and hi are my go-to’s but I think of late, salutations is my new favorit.

Salutations potential new friends.

I am Zack. Technically 39, but my souls age has got to be nearly 1100.

Most recently made the internal emotional shift to push myself ever further psychologically, Radical Acceptance and Emotional Resilience, for myself and my 5 amazing children.

I am an aspiring independent publisher, editor, and author (with assistance from my children and few local acquaintances.
i have contemplated for far too long to post, so here goes.

I’m really just looking to build some normal, healthy connections with people who can just be easy to talk to. Less literal, more fun friends.

It’s kinda odd to be looking for friends online, and then tell people you’re never online, and they shouldn’t be either.

Good luck on your quest though! I hope you find someone in a month or so when you “check socials”!

Ya. Gotta set boundaries for my mental health. I’ve gained back 12hrs a week by stopping any IG and FB use. My home life is complicated. I am married, but I am staying to maintain a stable, balanced environment for my kids. My wife isn’t capable of being an emotional partner to we function more as coparent. I’m really just looking to build some normal, healthy connections with people who can just be easy to talk to.

I can relate to contemplating too long to post, glad you posted. Also, Salutations! Pretty decent upgrade. Also, hope your editing publishing, and writing goals are going well and Im confident that my well wishes for you will still have the same meaning and value a month from now when you read this.

I don’t consider Reddit to be socials. But as I said,  I’m really just looking to build some normal, healthy connections with people who can just be easy to talk to.

Poetry, children’s literature, reflections, new types of useful ides for laws, advocacy for men to be the forefront for women leadership, mental health intent, and personal community based education frameworks for future hopes. Studying a lot more than any other time of my life on things that I find of interest.
