Are like minds out there? 39f

Some say the world is on the brink of collapse, while others believe we’re stepping into a golden era. But where are the ones who live in the moment, who grasp that in the end, it’s not the chaos or the triumphs that matter? It’s the kindness we offer, the hearts we touch, the way we leave this world better than we found it.

I’m not sure what exactly I’m searching for, but I know I’m not content with where I am. There’s a longing for something deeper, something more intentional. I’ve walked this path before, seen the same routines, the same empty answers. I’m still searching for my tribe—the people who understand what it means to live with purpose.

I might not have the perfect words to describe who I am, but I believe that’s something best discovered through conversation. If you’re someone who wants to connect on a real, human level, to explore what’s beyond the surface, let’s chat.

There are like minds out but the problem is the digital age has people more focused to a screen that actual human interaction. I prefer the real conversation on a human level and would like to join you and dive into the depths and discover what lies beneath the surface together. Looking forward to our chat. 😊

Hello Bri,
35f also wondering the same things. Small talk is painful, craving the deep dive conversations. Not sure how this site works yet as I'm very new here, but I'm open to friendship and chatting. May your tribe happen upon you swiftly!

The more one shares, the deep we can get.

Everyone is on a path, and many paths do not cross, yet they are very similar.

Some paths are wide and far, some are narrow and short.
Some just goes around and around in circles.

Some will take a rise and step into the forest. They walk through and finds a beautiful lake, and set up stakes.

Some will leave the path, and travel down a road, brings them to places to be lost, maybe never to be found.

Yet no matter the how one walks, smile as you go. :)

Make it happy travel 😊

  There are many of us living close with nature and shy on people. We have few friends but they are true friends (family). When we do run across the right type they become family as well. Often times the family we gather is much better than the one we are born to!

Good luck!!!

Well if some of you nature dwellers could just peek out of your hidey holes once in a while, that would be great 😆😆

No, but for real- I know. I also feel like the free thinking environmentalists are a dying breed- I know, because I am one. I also know all about chosen family. That said, now is a time in my life where I want someone to choose me, though.

You're more than welcome to message me on here if you'd like to chat.

Don't worry about the politicians and the media. Its unfortunate but in 2025, you can only truly trust your eyes. Set your foundation to provide food year round and become off grid, self sufficient and the rest won't really matter anyway. I recommend earthships for the sake of relatively low maintenance and ability to produce plenty of food and water. Hope that helps! Stay blessed

I am not sure you understood the intention of my post.

Hey B
What matters a lot these days for you?
these days health and faith seem to call out to me with a certain reverb..

Connection despite differences. Showing up in this world with kindness and intention. Service to others. Sunshine and clean air. Smiling.

We're born and told to make something of ourselves, we associate with various form of culture to cope, to create a person, a persona that is acceptable to those around us, so that we can integrate, make friends, be adjusted..

But there is this feeling.. there is this beat from the heart.. there is this high pitch tone in our head.  There is a signal a language unspoken inside and all around us.

Some of us have survived and continue to survive this world.   We are not here to live the way every one lives now.  We don't follow the herd, we are listeners of the wind, watchers of the Flora and Fauna.. we feel connected and want to restore this connection that has been lost.

We are human beings.  We are not just customers.  No one is going to do this for us, its all happening right now.   We're choosing consciously or unconsciously what to pay attention to and where to put our energy.  If you haven't found your courage yet, know that you are loved, you are needed.  Its been time for us to step into our own power and weave this technology with our spirit in order to birth this next wave of life.  Where we live daily with a relationship with our food, our water, our electricity.

Some want to travel and go on vacation.. My passion is the work, my relief is the change, my greatest love is consciousness.

I'd love to get to know you.

Nice, I got first paragraph skills and and agree with 3rd.  Second one needs some work from me too. G luck

I believe everyone is feeling the call, even if they're not articulating it.  We all know it could be easier and better, more rooted and more nourishing.  Good luck!

An uptick in activity has me wanting to make an update: Happy to report that I finally found what I am looking for. My tribe and my person.

Welp. Still have the tribe. The person ended up taking their mask off. So I guess that means I’m still a permies single….

BRI - perhaps take more time to get to know the person?

I know all humans are evil. Some work on themselves to overcome it. But all - as in 100% - are controlled by their thoughts , feelings , and emotions until they begin to realize they never created a single thought of their own. Ever notice how they just appear out of nowhere?

It seems to me, beginning here, and then only developing depth with the few who are clearly working on themselves, will at least be less heartache.

Also, the chatter of getting to know (you never truly know another person ) someone, is essential in discovering early what kind of person you're speaking to. Are they a yes man? Realistic or naive? What "triggers" them, what interests them...
Etc

You have the rest of your life to spend with a good man. Take time now, before you get too involved, to make sure you're actually dealing with one, instead of a Temu-knockoff version, or a sociopath who knows how to conceal it while feeding your optimism.

What a world we live in!

All the best!

Modern society is deeply corrupt and uses stress inducing propaganda/advertising to maintain control of the public as a whole. I like to stay aware of this and push back when I can, while maintaining a social life and living in the moment to the best of my ability.

That person was not the right person for me. I need a provider with shared interests and goals. He ended up being a child who wanted a mommy. Then ended up being a stalker. I already raised two amazing children. I would rather have my solitude.

Regardless of what is going on in people's minds, we all need to eat, have shelter, pay bills and taxes.   This means we need money.. This mean you go get yourself a new daddy or mommy to give you an allowance for doing chores.   Our happiness is often reliant on a month to month situation of dealing with these stresses.   Even the people the "Made It" They have to serve their boss and most live under the notion that they own what they have, while in reality they pay monthly and take on enormous stress to make those payments and if you do pay the car off in 5 years then it breaks.. or maybe you get to give your house back to the bank when you die.   People prey on people, they use people in friendships and relationships to play out their own destructive patterns.  Life is tough no doubt and there seems to be no sincere leadership.   I'd say that I wish you the best but we don't need wishes or prayers... We need to work together and use the technology we have to create our basic needs for ourselves... Its not the lifestyle shown that successful people live... But what is success?? To match an image?   We are so cut off from our soul.. its so blatantly obvious.  It would be nice to find someone that values the moon and the stars and the earth and would rather listen to them... Than the men in suits and all the brainwashed people that think life is all about Beer and Jesus.   Rant over.

Feel free to write me

Other than being male and replacing he with she, daddy for mama etc. Boy howdy do I get it. Been there done that and unless the "right" woman comes along I am perfectly happy to stay alone. My daughters I raised alone are now grown and one of them has given me two grandsons (which I'm WAY to young to have) life is good on the homestead here in south central Virginia and solitude suits me just fine. Having said that if and only IF just the right woman for ME comes along I'd much rather stay alone!

Updated photos.

Hi, we’re a middle aged couple renovating a farmhouse on a one acre homestead in Vermont. We have had a few experiences with a woman joining us and like your personal experience we to found them to be wearing a mask so back to square one. In an ideal world we are looking to connect with a woman that is open to love, maybe has an alpha personality and wanting a positive long term relationship. Happy to chat if you’re open to unconventional partnerships.

I too, am searching for the same type of tribe. We need unity. God brought us into this world with a purpose and a plan for a good life. To have a fellowship with like minded people would be great.

Life is truly about the journey not the destination!
