I’m often told that I make people feel welcomed, at ease, and like the most special person in the world for that moment. I believe this is because for me, getting lost in a connection with another person is a profound gift.

I get to feel the world’s weight temporarily roll off my shoulders. I feel myself drop back into my body, permeated with vital energy. I get to feel time shift shape. I get to feel when the moment hits, when vision becomes delirious, delicious saturation.

I want to be caught, or perhaps temporarily held in thrall, by something elusive and unnameable. These moments feel uncommon; they feel precious. I’ve appointed myself their nurturer. So I’m curious — what makes it fit just right, what clicks us into place, what grants us surrender? How did we find ourselves bursting, at this moment, with electric life?

Maybe you like to get lost too and you can relate to finding something otherwise unreachable in the company of another, some dynamism that awakens you more fully in your being.

If we are compelled, and if we are blessed, we might uncover a bit of respite with one another. I’d love for us to carve out our own private refuge from the conventional. I love outings where we can teach each other about our passions, I love conversations so good they make us giddy and voracious, I love taking in art and music alongside a smart new friend, I love dancing and dizzily collapsing into the fuzzy embrace of a beloved album, and I love cozy nights spent indoors, all cashmere, marshmallows, and cinematic glow. Perhaps we can explore the little delights of the world together and make a memory neither of us will want to misplace.
