Guys, I want to apologize for my lack in partaking in the community. I honestly have been really struggling with addiction if I am being honest. Sending LOVE to all of you <3

Hey guys, I’m here because I’m in a season of becoming. I recently turned 33, and something in me is shifting — not loudly, not all at once, but in a way I can feel more than I can explain. I’m learning how to stand more fully inside my own life, more honest, more intentional, more awake to who I am becoming. I’m still a work in progress. But I’m no longer lost in the same ways I used to be. Right now I’m exploring a few things that feel important to me: - how to build real connection with men that isn’t surface-level or performative - how to stay emotionally open without losing my center - how to release old shame I carried around identity and masculinity - how to move through the world with more truth and less disguise I didn’t grow up with steady, healthy male guidance, so a lot of this feels like learning a language I was never given — slowly, deliberately, word by word. But I’m here for it. I’m here to listen. To learn. To connect with other men who are also trying to live with more depth, more honesty, and more care for how they move through life. Looking forward to meeting you all.😉

@Jacyn Benzinger Hey Jacyn! I can totally relate with having very little dating experience & being a chronic hopeless romantic. I am so in love with the idea of love and what that would look like for me and if that's something that is even plausible for me. I used to joke around all the time that I would be ok with dying all alone like Gatsby, as long as it was in a huge mansion.
