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.

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

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.
