single
Whether you're solitary by choice or simply unlucky in love, being single is complicated.
The rush chasing someone brings you
Let me say this in the beginning, the chase I am talking about here is romantic. The majority of the time people tend to chase someone out of pure infatuation. I am sure, a lot of people will disagree with me here, but hear me out.

The Psychology Behind Successful Attraction
Do you ever wonder how someone starts a relationship with somebody that is less attractive than them? Maybe you’ve caught yourself thinking how a mismatched couple got together, or maybe you’ve wondered why someone with model looks doesn’t always date a person with similar looks.

The Glass Wall
Everyday I trudge to work past a window shielding one slice of chocolate cake from the world. I am always dirty, tired, and overburdened by equipment, but the slice of cake reminds me of a haven somewhere lush and green. The glass window is smudged at the level of a child’s face and hands, and the cake sits atop a crystal cake platter with a long neck so that every side of the slice but the back is visible.

Single Life
What does being single mean to you? Speaking for myself, it has definitely shifted over the years. Years of searching for “the one”. As if that is what life is all about. It was my number one goal above anything else whether I wanted to admit it or not. I’m a romantic at heart, that’s for sure. The idea of “one true love” or finding my “soulmate” or my “twin flame” or whatever you want to call it, was like a dream to me. I felt as if I were to find my person that everything else would fall into place. I guess at the end of the day it falls under the cliché of you have to be full on your own before you’ll be truly ready to love someone else. I’ve always known that and it wasn’t like I was necessarily looking for someone to complete me but subconsciously I was convinced that once I found true love then everything else would just work out. Almost like that was the first step. And maybe you can blame it on societal pressure, the town I grew up in, the way I was raised, yada yada, but all I can hold account for is me. Our perceptions are our own responsibility, It takes work. Deep, ugly, unattractive inner work to become aware of these patterns and the space they are taking up in our lives and souls.

Long Time Crush
How long does it take to get over a crush? I am seriously asking. It's been about three years now, and I still have a crush on this girl. I have no idea why. I am throwing myself into things to keep my mind of off her. But it doesn't seem to be working. Also does not help that I am writing a story and she is one of the main characters. I just don't get it. I am asking for advice.

How To Enjoy Being Single In A Couple S World
It's sometimes easy to forget how great the single life can be when you're surrounded by loved-up couples and fending off your mum's clumsy attempts at matchmaking. What's the problem with being single? Nothing, of course - except that sometimes the sight of your coupled-up friends all over each other, or a stranger holding hands with her boyfriend in the street, can make you suffer a sudden attack of single panic - the feeling that you're alone in a world of twosomes. But don't despair, you just need a dash of single-survival therapy.

Tales of a Bachelor
Flying rags and waving leaves, all roofs are already perfectly polished brown with specks of dust as Christmas steps in and gradually walking out of the stage with her unruly old friend-the wind. It was an unprecedented Sunday morning, my whole being could not concentrate as the wind-tossed unceasingly from the western cardinal of my contingent condominium on one remarkable day of Christmas. I stood up from my horrible bed feeling so worn out, it was a strange one anyway. I went outside and began walking around my house, but could hear only the quacking and cackling of mocking birds, I was still about to realize that I was the only one in a whole compound that could make an independent community.
