Day 18 Prompt: Fake Dating Profile

The picture immediately above the profile description is a zoomed-out photo of a field of flowers amidst a bright blue sky.  If you squint hard enough, there’s a figure in the center of the field twirling with her arms stretched out, head tilted towards the sky, in a flowy white dress.  You can’t see her face, but you can feel her earthly energy emanating from the photograph.

Hope, 31

Denver, CO

About Me: I am an effervescent and free spirit that is one with the earth, the universe, and the stars.  As a Leo, I am vivacious and passionate and care deeply about my art, my friends, and my lovers.  I enjoy having a good time and, as a queen of the celestial jungle, my friends sometimes describe me as the center of attention.  In my free time, I enjoy doing yoga, feeling the sun on my shoulders, smiling, and learning about and curating crystals.

Pros:

  • Leos know how to have a great time 😊
  • I’m only a few months away from my yoga certification, so I would be more than happy to work with you on breathing exercises and meditation
  • HIGHLY compatible with Aries, Gemini, Libra and Sagittarius rising signs
  • Getting into vegan cooking

Cons:

  • I love all of the universe’s creations, but I’m really not compatible with Taurus or Scorpio rising signs ☹
  • I’m allergic to cats

The profile concluded with a short, poignant message from Hope: “Swipe right if you are ready to bare your soul and explore this journey through life with this celestial Queen of the Jungle.
