I used to be a pretty carefree person. I worked as a barista at this small coffee shop near the university, where all these students would come in and study for their exams. It was always bustling with activity and there were lots of opportunities to make connections with people. Some folks thought I was really friendly and approachable. Others might've seen me as a bit flaky.
One day, when I was 25, my girlfriend at the time got pregnant. We weren't exactly sure what we were doing or how we'd manage things, but it seemed like an adventure. Fast forward three years and she left me for someone else. I think it had something to do with all the stress of raising a kid on our own, but I'm not really sure.
I tried to get back into dating, but it was tough. People kept thinking that because I'm 32 now, I must be looking for some sort of serious relationship. And honestly? It's just what I want right now too. Someone who understands me and isn't afraid of the weirdo side of me. There are days when I just wanna curl up in a ball and cry about how messed up my life is, you know? But then there are times like this morning when I felt a sense of hope because I met someone online. That's what brings us here today! How 'bout you? What's your story?
