I'm just gonna lay it out there, I have nothing to hide and it seems silly to lie on a site like this:
I am my own person, and I do not compromise that. I am real and love to laugh and joke around. My family is very important to me, we spend almost every tiny holiday together and we like to party. I am not girly or fake. I like to garden and try to eat local, organic food mostly because it tastes better and I trust it more. My dream is to find someone that brings me joy, to travel with them, and to live somewhere with a decent bit of land to produce our own food. I love animals and believe pets add joy to lives just as children do. That said, I also work with children. You would think that means I have a lot of joy in my life. However, my husband abandoned me, our pets, and our home when life got a bit too rough for him. So I am left to figure it out on my own and it is hard. Life is too much for one person. Don't get me wrong, I am fine and don't think I NEED another to complete me. But a companion to help you through life is nice. However, now I know I need someone completely trustworthy and who is at least almost as strong as me. I want to feel "in love" and I want to know passion. These things have been missing from my life for quite some time and leaves me empty inside.
Side note: If you smoke weed daily or even weekly, do not bother. I hate weed. Substance abuse is a sign of weakness and I refuse to deal with it again. If you drink for fun sometimes that is fine, I do as well. I am big on wine and beer. If you drink bud light, we probably won't get along very well, unless you have a strong desire to learn about better beers ;)
