Hi out there. Thought I’d give this a shot.
I am currently working from home for a credit union but on my way to becoming a High School English teacher. As you can see from my photo, I’m an artist at heart. All forms of art—painting, photography, tattoos, etc. and reading/writing of course.
My walk with faith has been a recent one. I was in a really dark place and found God one day walking my dog. Since then, I have been devoted to getting closer to Him. My dating past is not something I’m particularly proud of; I was in an emotionally abusive, toxic relationship for 13 years and still have some scars I’m working through from him, but I feel like I’m in a good place personally to start putting myself out there again.
I am looking for a man who puts God first. A strong willed caretaker (emotionally, physically, spiritually). My cousin Matt was my best friend and I lost him 7 years ago in a motorcycle accident, but he always used to say he was praying I’d meet a man that was opposite of my ex, someone strong and kind, who is capable of reciprocating the kind of deep, soulful love that I have for people.
Ideally, he would be between 35-40 and lives within driving distance. I don’t want something long distance as I believe spending time together is important in building a strong foundation for a relationship. Idk if he’s out there and I certainly don’t know if he’s on this subreddit, but I pray for him every day because if God made him for me, he’s probably going through his own trials.
Thanks for listening.
