i am a quiet and shy person who has been struggling with isolation and mental health issues, and would like take initiative to make friends, and open myself up to new experiences. i used to work as a special needs teaching assistant in canada but have moved back to the US to finish my schooling in pyschology and social action. i love to be there for others, read, write, gain new perspectives, have deep conversations, and am family-oriented. i am a fiercely loyal friend, a passionate person, open-minded, calm, and mature
