Hey… it’s late, isn’t it?
I like the hush after midnight when the city exhales. Portland never really sleeps, but it softens — streetlights turn amber, rain taps the window like it’s asking permission to come closer. That’s when I feel most like myself.
I turn twenty-four this spring. Most nights I light one candle — just one — because too much brightness feels impatient. I let the shadows rest against my collarbones while slow R&B hums low enough that I feel it in my ribs. My hair is usually loose, still damp from the shower, curling against the back of my neck. I like the way it feels heavy when it’s wet, like it’s holding secrets for me.
I’m not chasing noise anymore. I want voices that stay soft even when they’re telling the truth. Eyes that don’t dart away when I hold contact a second longer than polite. Fingers brushing a wrist during conversation — accidental, then not. The kind of attention that makes your breath catch and then settle deeper. That’s what I crave now: presence that feels like touch without hands.

Some mornings I wake up slow — sunlight slicing through half-closed blinds, warm sheets clinging to my thighs, the faint scent of yesterday’s jasmine still on my skin. I stretch like a cat and smile at nothing in particular. Those quiet moments remind me I’m alive in a body that knows how to feel good just existing.
I believe real connection doesn’t shout. It whispers. It lingers. It tastes like shared silence and the soft click of a lighter in a dark room. If that sounds like your kind of night… maybe we’re already halfway there.
