Single is Sublime

I have been trawling the web. Trying to find a positive quote about the joy of embracing life as a singleton. Turns out, it’s an arduous task. These are merely a sample. Wtf. At best, being single is depicted as a waiting zone. A state to be tolerated until a knight in shining armour comes…

Apology

Since getting into streaming music, I was in the Amazon Prime Unlimited camp. Flute Boy invited me to join his Spotify family so we could share songs. I quickly became hooked. When I ended it, I kept using it: I’d built playlists and liked the mixes it suggested and the radios. I didn’t feel bad…

No Apps Required

My resolve to stay clear of Dating Apps continues. Yay! It’s 2 and a half months since it ended with the person I named My One (but have recently rebranded as Narc #2: I’ll explain this in another post, I don’t want him to be this focus of this one). I’ve had a super awesome…

Love Made Me Do It… Part 3

I Love Too Much

In my post yesterday Too Much… I talked about reaching a watershed moment. My attitude towards dating, towards being in a relationship with a man, must change. I need to stop the cycle I’ve been in. It’s destructive and damaging my wellbeing. My latest attempt to date ended on Tuesday. Typically, I would have been…
