Worrying is like holding an umbrella up in the sun, waiting for it to rain

Don't Let Tinder Burn You
It's the age of technology and the impact has been felt in our romantic lives perhaps more than any other. We are more able to meet dozens, or even hundreds of people, very quickly, we're more likely to meet people far removed from our friend and family groups, and we're empowered to find people who really suit our lifestyle and preferences.

Cancel Culture Is Not Real: Stop Pretending That It Is
You know, I've been wanting to talk about this for months now. Months. Seriously, what happened to us? We used to be a society of responsibility. We, as people, are not perfect, but we try.
