24 [M4F] India/Online - Seeking a genuine connection.

In the sea of people seeking connections with each other, it seems that it always starts out with beaming hope. Then it wanes down gradually. The light is barely a glimmer, but the craving for understanding never ceases. Like the wilting leaves of an unloved, unattended plant, dry and desperate for a drop of water. It’s funny that no matter what you tell yourself sometimes, the heart always wants more.

There is a lot of talk about being okay with being alone and finding comfort within ourselves. I agree that being comfortable with ourselves is essential but being fundamentally social beings, the craving for companionship is real. It's been a while since I've been in a relationship and looking back, I realised how much I liked being there for my partner and sharing my deepest thoughts with her. The comfortable silences and moments of understanding. I've always sought understanding on a mutual level and I'm someone who loves intimacy in all aspects of life. I miss being able to give that and frankly, even receive that. I'm quite passionate when it comes to relationships and I crave a passion so intense that I'd melt into my partner's soul. No words exist there, just two people conscious as one.

A bit about myself. I enjoy deep conversations, I tend to drift off into thought a lot, I imagine how the world would be under different circumstances. I’m an imaginative thinker. I don’t know if it’s okay to admit this, but I’m sensitive to the smallest things. I appreciate it when people put in thought into their actions because I do the same. I value my relationships and make an effort to understand and connect with others on an emotional level. I believe that I am a good listener and I provide a supportive presence for those around me. If we click, I hope to be there for you to the best of my ability… that’s something I can give unconditionally.

I’ve lived very close to nature all my life and I think I’ve been very lucky because of it. It does get lonely because I don’t get to meet people on a regular basis, like how you do living in a city. I’m into photography, and I’ve realized that I consider it a part of my identity. The pictures I take are an extension / reflection of my state of mind. Sometimes, even in a bad mood, if I shoot something beautiful, it transforms my perspective about my situation. I believe nature and art (along with music) has that ability. 

I like learning new things, irrespective of how difficult it is. I feel like that’s one thing that’s kept me going. I tend to be cautious about new things and I take my time to accept something fully, and that’s precisely why I try to learn more and more. There’s no limit to learning right?

What I'm seeking is, as the title says, a genuine connection. Someone who takes their time to get to know another person. I'm in this for the long run. However, that doesn't have to be a deal-breaker. I'm longing for it, and if you are too, there's no reason why we shouldn't give it a shot!

I'm sorry if my post comes off a little vague, I'll answer any question you have to ask! My DM's are open and I'd love to hear from you!
