George P.

Hi there! My name is George, and I'm a friendly and outgoing person who enjoys meeting new people. I used to own a company, offering training and education courses to adult learners, but I am now slowly letting go and moving into retirement. Emphasis on the word, ‘slowly’  I’ve also been unemployed, three times in fact, and I don’t wish it on anyone, but hey life sucks sometimes. You just have to persevere, to keep going. I’m here to be a good listener, which I am, or to do the talking, which I am happy to do as well. It very much depends on you. I have always found it easier to speak about certain things, like feelings, emotions, family drama, or other personal issues, with a complete but genuine and authentic stranger than with somebody who's known me all my life, or who knows me inside out in real life. Do you feel the same way? If you're going through a difficult time, I’ve been there too. Life has always been a rollercoaster for me and while I have enjoyed good times, I have also contemplated giving up in life (when I was in a dark place) and I am glad that I'm out of that today. My favorite quote is 'I'm not as nice as I think I am', but I also have another one. ‘Always be happy with wot u got!’ If you just need someone to chat with, I'm here to be a positive presence in your life. Let's connect and see how it goes. I believe in the power of human connection and the importance of having someone to talk to when you need a listening ear. I am ready to offer you my support, advice, companionship and empathy. So ask me, how and where I met Priscilla Presley, perhaps, OR perhaps how I was lost in the desert for 73 hours and nearly died. A little about what I bring to the table: I am separated and my personal life experiences will help me to empathize with yours. I am writing first novel and two other books, and I’m struggling, but I persevere anyway. I WILL publish my book/s, one day. Promise. I have just started nature photography, although I do realize that I have a lot to learn, especially when I see the works of others. But hey, Rome was not built in a day right? I love traveling and I've just returned from an 8-week holiday to Australia and New Zealand. I’ve traveled to many countries in Europe, to North Africa and to the USA. I am a type 1 diabetic, which means I live with a chronic condition but it doesn’t put me down (well, maybe sometimes) and I prefer to see the positive in it. For example, I’m more conscious of what I eat than ever before. I am happy to talk to you whatever your age, gender, ethnicity, orientation, religion, political views, education, employment, astrological sign… I think you get the point. I do not judge people and WILL NOT JUDGE YOU, and I hope that you will not judge me. RESPECT is everything. Once you have that, the rest (trust, happiness, kindness, honesty... etc) will automatically follow. So respect people, respect yourself, respect animals, respect your environment, and so on. I and probably beat you at being honest, kind, polite, and being respectful, but I’ve been wrong before, so try me out. There is absolutely nothing special about me. I am just a normal person, and I'm happy with that. If I could wipe out something in the world, it would be arrogance. I hate arrogance. Get off your high horse, man, we are all the same. That's it for now from my end. Now over to you. Get in touch, and let's go on this journey together. Don't swipe me away, I don't bite. I want to learn from you, and hope you will gain something, even if just a little, from me.
