C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Solstice Status Updates
Hey there folks, it's been a while. I've had a busy, busy past few weeks and have had precious little time to sit and write. Truthfully, I should be out working right now instead of sitting at my kitchen counter on my laptop updating a handful of relative strangers and a smaller handful of relatives and close friends on the goings on in my life, but the kid and I can use a break for the day before we get back to the grind tomorrow.

How To Deepen Emotional Intimacy With Consistent Daily Actions
Emotional intimacy does not flourish on intermittent, dramatic acts but rather day by day behaviors that grow and strengthen bond and trust. Care, presence and affection on daily basis make the relationship stronger and more secure among partners.

Why American Singles Prefer Meaningful Experiences Over Casual Dating
American singles are abandoning the casual dating which seems to be monotonous, superficial or lack of emotion. Although casual dating may have been the symbol of freedom and discovery, today, lots of individuals can encounter the inability to connect with each other after a series of first dates and superficial interactions that conclude in a sense of disconnection instead of the feeling of excitement. When the interaction is shallow, pointless, and devoid of emotion, the novelty disappears soon. This has led to single people reevaluating their dating desires.

Female Group Hierarchy
Female group hierarchy was the quiet force I kept colliding with before I had language for it. You know the sensation. You walk into a room. A group of women is laughing, leaning into each other, moving like a single organism. You feel the temperature shift. Your instincts fire, but nothing lands. You hesitate. You overthink. You leave wondering what just happened.

Why American Singles Prioritize Quality of Life Over Quantity of Dates
There is a marked change in the dating behavior of American singles and to a large extent, it is as a result of burnout. Unlimited swiping, unlimited messaging, back-to-back dating, and similar behaviors have made lots of individuals to be emotionally exhausted instead of being excited. Although dating applications have greatly simplified the process of meeting new people, it has produced the illusion of overload. Single people tend to spend time and efforts in a relationship that never goes anywhere and it can be tiresome and disappointing.

How Singles in the U.S. Balance Career, Freedom, and Love
Single Americans are experiencing a form of adulthood that appears to be distinctly different than the one that existed in the past generations. The demands of the career are increased, the freedom of people is highly considered and love is not perceived as the one defining pillar of the meaningful life anymore. Rather than going through a pre-written script, more people are creating lives that are more balanced in terms of ambition, independence and emotional attachment. This is not a balance that occurred by chance but rather designed through experience, self knowledge and evolving cultural demands.

Why Independence Matters More to American Singles Today
To the American singles today, independence is not a thing to be shed or when one gets into a relationship. It has become a fundamental life principle based on self-consciousness, emotional well-being and individual gratification. A lot of singles have been subjected to relationships or social pressures, which have forced them to sacrifice their identity, objectives, or emotional health. Due to this, independence is now regarded as a necessity and not an option. It means the ability to live a life with purpose and meaning.

How American Singles Are Designing Life on Their Own Terms
In the United States, it is no longer considered an element of waiting to start the actual life before becoming single. To a large number of the American singles, independence is a conscious and empowering option. Rather than evaluating the success based on relationship status, people have been determining fulfillment based on personal growth, emotional well-being, and self-directed targets. The change is indicative of an underlying cultural transformation in which autonomy and self-knowledge are now being considered as important components of meaningful life.
