After a long COVID relapse, I have been mostly housebound for 3 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation.
I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like film, travel stories and poetry, and can listen to anything.
This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable.
Thanks for even thinking about it.
I hope life is good to you.

rooting for you. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We're a small family in Johannesburg but we're thinking of you.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 24 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
sending strength. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Sacramento
Take care, Caroline. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
stay strong, Caroline. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
