Sometimes I imagine two strangers talking while a familiar song plays softly in the background. The kind of song that makes you feel like you have lived someone else’s life for a moment. The world could end tomorrow and still, for these few minutes, the conversation would matter. That thought comforts me.

I believe unfiltered conversations change us. Not the kind where we perform or impress, but the kind where we pause before answering. Where silence is allowed. Where you admit things you did not plan to say. Those moments make life feel lighter and strangely more real.

It feels odd that in a world this connected, finding someone to talk to deeply can feel so rare. Maybe we are all waiting for permission to be honest.

A bit about me. I’m SK, 26M. I spend most of my days buried in artificial intelligence research, thinking about how machines learn while trying to understand how people do. I like poetry that leaves something unsaid. I go to the gym to quiet my mind. I sketch when words fail. Music with meaningful lyrics stays with me longer than conversations sometimes.

I am not looking for perfection or constant replies. Just sincerity. A penpal who enjoys wandering thoughts, small observations, and the occasional existential question at 2 a.m.
