The only thing to do when everyone is settling down but you
Years ago, within one and the same month, three of my close friends announced their pregnancies. Clearly, they were in advanced states of nesting. Meanwhile I was still cooped up in my tiny student apartment nowhere near a relationship, let alone a baby.

What’s the bright side of online dating ( no, it’s not a trick question)?
What is the bright side of online dating? And no, this is not a trick question.

My number one advice for every involuntary single is to take themselves out of the dating market and not return until they’re… Continue reading

Are you “understanding” to avoid confronting?
Most would agree that each time we are mistreated or a boundary is crossed by someone we feel an inner tension or stress. This internal imbalance automatically generates a seeking for relief. We desire to return to our emotional neutral point again. One direct approach to accomplish this is through expressing how we feel to… Continue reading

When negative feelings and thoughts about ourselves get triggered
Can you reach that place where the single life is happy and free on a full time basis? I say, not a chance in hell. There will always be bad days. Days of doubt and when you question yourself and your life. Days where it feels unfair and like you’ve made zero progress. This obviously… Continue reading
