someone who is loyal, kind, free-spirited, reliable, compassionate, giving and intelligent

someone who will accept me for who I am and who will be there for me in good times and bad times

someone who is a gentleman and who will allow me to feel protected and safe

If you have read the novel ”Stargirl” by Jerry Spinelli then you will understand me to a certain extent. I am creative and am able to think critically about the messages society preaches to us. I live my life to the fullest and strive to be empathetic and understanding towards others. I enjoy simplicity, stability, beauty and going on adventures. I would much rather have a great conversation than go out to the bar. I am also a ”cuddlebug” who loves hugs, kisses, holding hands, and all other types of romantic, non-sexual affection. I am a vegetarian and I identify with the ”straight edge” movement which refrains from the use of drugs. Creative writing and listening to music are my emotional outlets. Top 5 Favorite Bands (in no specific order): August Burns Red, Oh Sleeper, Of Mice and Men, As I Lay Dying, and Nirvana (Kurt Cobain is my idol)

I attend a university in New York City and I am pursuing a Master’s Degree in Counseling for Mental Health and Wellness. I currently volunteer as a crisis counselor for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. I have an immense love for humanity and want to do all that I can to help other people be the best and happiest individuals they can be.

I conduct psychological research on the definition and benefits of spirituality. I also explore the more subjective experience of spirituality in a novel that I am currently writing.

I want to be in a serious relationship and would like to be married someday. I prefer to date with the purpose of finding a spouse rather than just going out with random people. I say this because I am the type of person who will go the library and will want to KEEP good books rather than return them 😛

Feel free to send me a message – I do my best to answer all messages received 🙂
