After spinal surgery, 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 music, books and gardening, 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

- 30 minutes a week

Wishing you peace, Haider. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Istanbul
