After a stroke, I have been mostly housebound for 5 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.

Best of luck, Ryan. Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this, Ryan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Thanks for sharing this, Ryan. Hope you get there. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care
