The Truth About Adult Friendships: Building Genuine Connections

Life: Remembering the simpler times

I do remember life before the internet, but that will also mean I am admitting that I am old. Well I kinda am. I am the generation where dial up internet was a real thing. Where we had to wait ages for the internet page to load up and the pixelation was all blocky. AOL…

I have (for one reason or another) met people from all walks of life. Call it fate or call it something else, our paths crossed. Professions of many kinds. Even an ex special ops who taught me about box breathing. (I wonder why it’s called box breathing?) Anyway … who knew I needed to learn…

What would you do, If you knew the relationship you are in, has run its course? This is the story about risk.

Why do people with kids, go to venues (only) to get away from their kids?

This sort of daily prompt questions, where you ask someone, the first thing that comes to their minds? What a salacious question to ask? But I am … daft enough to enter this domain. So here is my response.

Learning to set boundaries early. It sets you free from feelings of anguish
