I'm a romantic, just slightly more realistic than I was once. I've learned that intellectual curiosity, sense of adventure and sensibility to beauty are qualities that I will always be drawn by but that I stay for your kindness, patience, friendship and genuine belief that communication can get us through the inevitable bumps.
I'm a bit of a late bloomer in some senses but I feel like I have figured out enough about who I am and who I want to be to be a good partner. One thing I am sure of is that I am at my best when I'm sharing my life with someone... Its about sharing the most mundane stuff of life, as much as the bigger stiff. I'm looking for a man who makes me feel safe and taken care of in some senses but who also challenges me to try new things.
I mostly love what I do for work and have great friends and family but nothing can replace that sense of knowing that someone will be there at the end of the day as eager as I am to swap the silly stories that we collect all day, to offer support as we navigate the ups and inevitable downs, or to simply hold out a hand or warm set of arms when words no longer serve.
My Ideal Person:
We all know that its chemistry in the end. It's too elusive to describe but I think that we know it if we've found something worth exploring in each other.
I'm hoping to meet someone who shares my pleasure in the small adventures in NYC (or far afield) that yield the wonderful surprise of a newly discovered architectural detail, the perfect little cafe or bar, and that unforgettable meal... someone who wants to talk about novels and films because they help us try to make sense of the state of our world... someone who enjoys a long boisterous dinner with a big table of friends as much as the silent breakfast we share while reading the paper... Someone who might speak another language so we can share secrets that no one else can understand... someone who might forgive this woman her occasional whims...
The last great book I read
David Mitchell's Cloud Atlas
My most humbling moment
The death of my father.
If I could be anywhere right now
right here is pretty good these days but I have a whole list
of places I still want to travel to and some favorites that
I want to return to.
Five items I can't live without
A sense of possibility my friends and family an ability
to laugh at myself the internet? a metrocard
In my bedroom one will find...
the sound of birds chirping in the early hours of the morning.
