I'm a mature, intelligent, cultured college professor who teaches writing and literature. I'm also an aspiring writer and want to create content online too. I love anything creative, like art, music, movies, and theater. Nothing moves me more than something that comes from another human soul, in an attempt to make the world more livable and beautiful. I love animals and they love me back. I have stories from going to zoos and aquariums, of sea turtles following me across glass because they liked me. Reading, writing, and the imagination always nourish me. I also love going to new places and trying new things, whether it's activities, cuisine, or something else. I lived a bit of a sheltered, isolated life growing up, and I want to live in such a way that makes up for that and then some. In love, I'm passionate, open-minded, and like to be in charge. I'd love to meet someone who finds that appealing. Let's chat!
