I enjoy simple pleasures like good food, good company, and good books/movies. I'm a driven and dedicated individual balancing the demanding roles of a second-year medical student student, while being a devoted single parent to my wonderful 11-year-old son. After spending two decades away, I recently returned to Australia with my son and am in the process of starting life anew. As a secular humanist, I place great value on meaningful connections with people who possess genuine humor and depth. I’m seeking a serious relationship with someone who is non-superficial, where age and appearance are secondary to the richness of character and shared values. Quotes that Inspire Me: "Our willingness to wait reveals the value we place for what we're waiting." "Everything has beauty but not everyone sees it." "What you do, the way you think, makes you beautiful." Seeking someone who values depth over superficiality and laughter over perfection. Life is better when shared with someone who sees the beauty in the details and isn't afraid to embrace the adventure, the messy beauty of life. A partner with whom I can build a meaningful and lasting relationship, where we support and inspire each other. If you value authenticity, laughter, and a deeper connection, and believe in growing together while finding beauty in the everyday, I'd love to hear from you.
