PrisonPenPals ~ Gold Ads

Hey there! I am so happy you stopped by. I was hoping to finally meet you. And look, here you are!

I’m sure in most ads, guys will tell you what they are looking for, putting their needs first. But let me tell you instead the things I offer you if I am lucky enough to call you my friend:

Appreciation & affection;
Commitment & dedication;
Positive communication;
A heart that understands and doesn't judge;
Spending enjoyable time together (even if the jokes are silly);
Someone who is interested in you & how your day is going;
Someone who is on your side, no matter what, who won’t abandon you, turn his back on you or just write a couple times and quit;
Someone who sees the very best in you, mutually supportive & encouraging;
Someone who won’t ask you for anything because the most precious gift you can give is the time you take writing & spending time with me.

You see, to me, friendship is a long term acceptance of self and one’s partner; appreciation of one another; effective communication; commitment (not just when it’s convenient); realistic expectations; ability to forgive / let go of resentments; shared interests, goals, dreams, a sense of humor. It means being aware of the many facets of the other person, not just the beautiful side, but also the limitations, inconsistencies, flaws, insecurities, finding acceptance. It means having awareness of your thoughts, feelings, and experiencing something of your depth as a person. It means we have an interest in each other’s welfare and a desire to see the other person fulfilled; having respect for your dignity, valuing your thoughts and feelings - not insisting you agree with me.

It means I’m responsive to what you need and am aware that what I am and what I do affects you; being concerned with your happiness and sadness bring patience and understanding to each.

Caring and being cared for, that we each share in an enriching experience that does not detract from our being. It means knowing you matter to me in spite of my fear of losing you.
