i am a romantic at heart, i love love in all its forms
and i am trying really hard to focus on myself and not let romance cloud my mind
but that is very hard when you get a tattoo at a studio you have never been to with an artist you have never met
who turns out to be one of the most gentle, tender, earnest person you have seen in a long time
and he likes to hike, but prefers to take it slow so he can admire the flowers and geology
he likes to consume media the same way you do and is also cursed with having nobody want to watch with you
has the same morals and is a good listener and truly has beautiful outlooks of life that he has discovered because of the horrors experienced and witnessed
has made it so he looks for any potential partner to be in therapy and actively working on themself.
admits his own faults
and is one of the cutest fucking people you have ever seen. he was so proud of the bee he tattooed on me and how cute it looked.
he was happy that i wanted an orchid done and that i knew about common means of orchid pollination and we shared our knowledge for the different orchid's we are fans of and their respective evolved growth patterns and specific pollinators
he is an anxious guy who is scared if his clients don't talk to him he thinks they don't like him
like the universe is really throwing me a curve ball here
i want to get to know him more, but it is inappropriate to ask your tattoo artist out for a walk in the community forest
i don't even know what his whole face looks like, because we were both wearing masks
i chalked up the experience as a lovely moment between two souls who understood one another and left it at that
i dont want to enter a relationship, i dont want to date, but in another lifetime, had we met elsewhere, i would have been enamored.
and it makes me kind of sad
ive been having a lot of moments with strangers as i have been going out into the world
but none have stuck like he has :/
