Just because you’ve heard it many times doesn’t mean it’s good advice — For many years I believed that “the one” was out there.

Anyone else over it? — After a year or so long break from Instagram, I decided to rejoin a few months ago. I noticed that I’d become disconnected from some of my old friends and acquintances and thought it would be a great way to get back out there. I also found myself sending unsolicited…

“This is a condition that grows out of a sense of incompleteness…” — I’ve never been one of those people to wake up at an ungodly hour to work out.
