Norman's Story

Building Comfort Gradually <br/><br/>I'm Norman, and right now, the world is still a very big place. My days are focused on learning what's safe and what isn't - when food appears, which sounds fade away, and which moments pass without expecting anything from me. I rely heavily on routine and repetition, because predictability is the foundation I need before anything else can grow.<br/><br/>I am still very afraid, and that means I move slowly and carefully through each day. Trust won't arrive all at once for me - it will take time, consistency, and a lot of patience. But I am steady, observant, and quietly trying every single day. I'm looking for someone who understands that progress doesn't always look dramatic, that patience is part of the promise, and that building safety together can be its own kind of bond.
