To share about myself, here are my values:
kindness, vulnerability, thoughtfulness, empathy, emotional intelligence, curiosity, acceptance, respect, and a passion for physical activity. I like people who have gone through their share of difficult experiences or struggles in life, which they have processed and used to help them grow and evolve into more of their true selves. In my life, I've both seen from afar and lived first-hand many varied ways of life, thoughts, beliefs, and values. No one person has "the one right way" of doing life, and I think this belief and openness to many ways of doing things is something that makes me unique. I believe that our past experiences shape and enrich us, and we are all trying to do our best.
What are some of your values? What are some things have shaped you?1

Some of the things I love:
- being active
- being outside: starting a hike/trail run before dawn, swimming in a lake, reading by the river
- road trips
- trying all types of food (ice cream, fruits, and pastries are my favorite 😃 I love to bake, and food represents love to me)
- comedy/stand-up
- exploring. My vision for my life is to continue moving around every few years, learning about different people/places/ways of thought and living. Always guided by curiosity, exploration, and adventure. Living in a van and being free to travel around is something I aspire for.
I like listening to podcasts, to give a good sense of what I value and am interested in:
- Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend
- Ramit Sethi's I Will Teach You To Be Rich
- various relationship/therapy podcasts (currently: Esther Perel, Dear Therapists, Lovers and Friends. I also love Brené Brown's two podcasts and The Baggage Reclaim Sessions)
- Spooked (I love the stories, and his voice is so smooth)
- 99% Invisible (I really liked the episode about the song "Who let the dogs out?")
- Levar Burton Reads (I love his voice and his reflections at the end. His voice is soothing)
Basically, I like to laugh, talk about relationships and emotions/feelings, and work toward financial stability and independence.
What kinds of things are important to you?

Hello! This is my first post, so I'd like to introduce myself and help people get to know me.
I've been told that I'm a good listener and have a big heart by the people I take care of at work. I've found that people seem to appreciate the way I interact with them.
In my opinion, relationships are the most important thing in life. On my deathbed, I think I’ll recall and treasure most the people I knew. I’m also motivated by exploration/adventure and money. I grew up feeling financially insecure, and I want to be financially independent so I can live life the way I want to - with freedom: freedom to live where I want, work the job I want, live how I want (whether it's a small apartment or the van life - I'm pretty minimalist and don't like having a lot of material things).
That's how I decided to start an OF account. I think that my down-to-earth personality could resonate with some people, and I love connecting with people. I guess my aim here is to try to provide a source of connection for people, which in turn would help me feel connected. We'll see how it goes.
