I Like You

"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter w/ another human be

Ooh! Starting off with an Albert Schweizer quote so you know I'm smart! ;-) And maybe you're looking for some... spark. But what? Maddening: that feeling of not knowing what you want -- yet experiencing a need for it. The undefined yet incessant urge of modern complacency. I can help. On the phone or even just messages if typing's more comfy than talking for ya. Wait -- what? Paying to interact with someone who's not even gonna get you off or tell you your special magic lottery numbers??? Who do I think I am? And here's my answer, pal: I am a lifestyle wingman! Yes, I made that up, but here me out. Those empty feelings of yearning we experience from time to time? That's means it's time to shake things up. And I may suck at scrabble and can't tell time on a 24 hour clock, but dammit, I know people. I've been at this "living and breathing" thing for many decades, and have worked in many interpersonally intense occupations such as nanny, bartender & ring toss game operator in a traveling carnie show. Yet, I'm well-read, college-educated, into current events and pop culture. I'm fun to talk to, and I'm always thinking. I'm really good at figuring out a person's comfort zones, and then strategizing on how to challenge those limits -- to push past them in creative & empowering ways. A healthy life needs balance, too. I'm good at helping people take inventory of their lives, and look for blind spots or complications that could benefit from some exploration & inquiry. And sometimes, a person just wants to let his hair down and be stupid with a fun, non-judgy person: Get all hopped up on afternoon TV and talk and laugh and shoot the shinola like besties and come up with a movie idea or an invention or a memory that triggers interest in a long-forgotten hobby.... or a story that reminds you to reach out to someone in your past or a clue to current triggers or new solutions. Who knows what we'll discover, when we put our minds together? Let's find out!
