I love relationships. I love writing about them. I love experiencing them. I love learning about the people with whom I connect. There is nothing more rewarding than feeling another person open up and trust you, accept you for who you are, behold you with a sense of deep care and affection, and vice versa. […]
Last year I met an interesting boy. Every time I saw him, he was wearing the same clothing. Same shirt. Same jeans. Same shoes. I didn’t know why, but it bothered me. I could have cared less about the boy’s wardrobe and his dress sense, so why did it irk me? Eventually, I realised that […]
Are you single right now and feel as though something is missing in your life? Do you think once you find that perfect person, that void will disappear and life will be bliss? Would all of your problems be solved if you could just find “The One”? It would be nice if finding the right […]
Weird stuff happens whenever I feel disconnected from other people. Technology especially has an amazingly regular habit of malfunctioning. My Internet connection gets flaky. My mobile phone falls off the network and flat-out refuses to receive messages for days at a time. Saying I feel disconnected from other people is really just a synonym for […]
“Inside every cynical person, is a disappointed idealist” – George Carlin I had a thought-provoking discussion with a friend about Love last night. He’s one of the world’s beautiful souls who just exude Love, connection, and positivity. So much so, that I really should have expected the deep-and-meaningful discussion that ensued when I blurted out […]
“I was once asked why I don’t participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I’ll be there.” – Mother Teresa I used to think anti-war and pro-peace were the same thing. They are not. “Pro-peace” means in favour of peace. “Anti-war” […]
We live in a scared society. Scared to tell one another how we really feel. Scared to tell one another what we really want. Scared to share our hopes. Scared to share our dreams. Scared of being ourselves. Scared to love. Scared to hurt. Scared of rejection. Scared of people seeing who we really are. […]
“The only reason you don’t have the relationship you want is because of the story you keep telling yourself about why you can’t have it.” – Tony Robbins Men aren’t attracted to me. There are better/smarter/prettier/richer/classier/more elegant/sexier/more successful women out there. Hmm…sound like a familiar internal dialogue ladies? Well, here’s the bad news: it’s true. […]
“Where shall I begin, please your Majesty?” he asked. “Begin at the beginning,” the King said very gravely, “and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” – Lewis Carroll Like any good story, it’s hard to understand why relationships end until we understand why they begin. So we’ll listen to the wise […]
Feeling inferior is simply a result of your perception that you can’t live up to your own expectations or the expectations of other people. It’s paralysing, gnaws at your self-esteem, and is a downright unpleasant feeling to have around. Inferiority complexes are common among abuse victims because of the constant reinforcement that they are not […]
