Today was my first time visiting The Wild Animal Sanctuary at 2999 Co Rd 53, Keenesburg, CO 80643āand I have to say, it was unforgettable.
I saw tigers. I saw coyotes. Real wild animals, not behind glass or on a screen, but walking, resting, living. It was the first time Iāve ever seen animals like that in person. And something about it stirred my heart.
I came alone, but I didnāt feel alone. The open sky, the quiet strength of the animals, the peaceful landāit felt like a place where people and nature could meet with respect.

Is there a part of the sanctuary I missed? A time of day thatās best? A way to connect deeper with the mission?

Insight's purpose for Men and women:
š¬ Can Men Be Friends to Women?
I ask this with sincerity.
Sometimes I want to reach out to women I meet in community spaces like thisānot for romance, but for friendship, for support, for shared purpose.
What do you believe?

š± Asking for Help on Instagram
I use Instagram to share my writing, my advocacy, and my journey. Itās not just social mediaāitās part of my future education and career.
I want to ask for help from others, including women, but I donāt want to be misunderstood.
How can I ask for help as a friend, especially when itās for a good cause like protecting animals or joining environmental efforts?
Are you on Instagram?
Do you follow pages that support sanctuaries, nature, or community events?
Would you be willing to help me share my message? Today it's almost new years eve and I'm trying moving forward 2026 2025 hasn't been easy my life.

To connect with others who care.
To be more social, more engaged, more present.
