In their own words

Seeking a higher plane w/ someone deep, fun, kind & spiritually-inclined

Attitude is almost everything... I like to think that I'm entering into some of the best years in my life, and the things I've learned in the last 3 years reading about psychology, coupled with a year of therapy, have helped to ensure a better mental state such that I can find happiness and inner peace. Like life itself, the process is never complete – I will always be learning and growing. I'm looking for meaningful conversations and connections. I am well read, well educated, and used to work for a university. Aside from reading lots of articles (on Medium and a few other websites) and watching youtube videos (music, philosophy, psychology), I do very little social media because I believe technology is generally not used wisely and it's better to not be overly dependent upon it. For example: I think that smart phones are an enslavement tool, and I do not own a TV since I believe in enriching my mind as opposed to debasing it. As such, I prefer truth, beauty, and real life – authentic people, good music (mainly in the genres of blues, rock, jazz), the great outdoors, keeping fit, a physical book, etc.
