Hi, I’m new 😊 I’m looking to write, thoughtful physical letters back and forth. Nothing you have to share is too much or too little. I would like to get a bit deeper, I love a poetic raw letter. Usually I get along with and attract people older than me, but maturity doesn’t have to be defined by an age. Either men or women, I’m not picky!

Currently living in Alaska but born and raised in New England.

I love, baking, cooking, reading, nature, making music, painting, loose leaf tea, the human brain, fishing, gardening, cleaning, the show Alone, and off roading.

I have a very sarcastic sense of humor, and I don’t get offended very easily. No question is too invasive, I’m an open book.

Recently life has been beating me down, hence seeking human connection, I don’t want to scare anyone off, I swear I won’t be a downer! I’m not looking for sympathy, just someone to listen. If you’re someone who can get deep, both hearing and sharing emotional stories, but also able to bond over how tasty our morning drinks were, we might click!

If you think we might mesh please let me hear, one or all of:

-Your favorite food experience

-Your favorite memory with someone you’ve lost

-Somethnig you are incredibly passionate about. Could be stupid, could be earth shattering.

Okay, that’s all, I tried to keep it shortish, intead of talking at you with my life story, we can talk together. If you don’t think we would get along but still read this, thank you, have a donut 🍩

Hi yall. My husband is a night shifter, and I’m a stay at home wife so it felt right to switch with him, that way on his days off we can spend time together, rather than be opposites. Schedule right now is wake up at 7pm go to bed at 11am.

I hate it. I’ve already been dealing with some mild depression but this schedule has not helped. I’ve never sturggled with depression, yes I am starting therapy in a couple weeks. Yes, he knows. This is his dream job, he’s only on this scheudle for a couple more years. I’m not going to ask him to go to a day shift ( if I asked he would) when he has worked SO HARD to get here.

I am sick of feeling like this. I sleep, and then sleep some more, I wake up and eat, watch a show, go back to sleep, wake up, spend HOURS on my phone, make him food, go back to sleep. I can’t find a routine, my hobbies no longer bring me joy. I cry about 2 times a week, which is unlike me, I don’t cry. I don’t want to feel like this anymore, I don’t want life to pass me by.

I feel better when I’m around people, especially around my husband. Obviously my friends are not awake when I am, and it seems they text me less too. I think a big part of it is loneliness.

I don’t need sympathy, I’m trying to be real and not sugar coat how bad my habits have become. Please send me tips and tricks for what you did to help adjust. It’s been a couple months now and it hasn’t got any better.

TLDR: I need help coping with the isolation of night shift, establishing a healthy routine and motivation to not lose myself in the dark.
