Hominem Quaero
Still searching for that one person. Independence, for now, is simply the shape life has taken—without steady support to lean on. To keep my mind alive, I stay in conversation with many. But what I’m really seeking is a true sparring partner—someone whose thinking challenges and expands my own.
Once, I found that kind of connection by chance. Ever since, I’ve been trying to find it again.
These rare connections don’t usually form in formal groups. They happen at the crossroads of different worlds—where depth meets difference. Not in belonging for its own sake, but in honest, open dialogue.
Even the most progressive communities can grow insular. So I stay open. Still, I believe the search for kindred minds—whether in a person, a group, or a shared space—is not just meaningful, but necessary.
Hominem quaero. This translates directly to “I seek a human” or “I am looking for a man” or "I am looking for a human being." It’s in Latin, it's short and carries the same philosophical weight Diogenes (who was reportedly spoken in Ancient Greek) intended: a search not just for a person, but for someone truly virtuous or authentic.
