The Value of Friendship
Jobs these days seem awfully hard to come by. There are times when I fell so utterly unemployable, like not a soul cares to hire me. I indulge in these pity parties sometimes, not thinking about what I do have. A reminder that there are better days would sure be welcome sometimes. I decided to […]
The Return, or, Indifference
I’d been anticipating this situation for months. As we all know, expectations often don’t match with reality. Sometimes, things work out quite differently.

What Is It With People?
It’s been just about a year that I’ve been on a dating app. Like so many others who’s gone through this route to find a connection, or just a couple of steady dates, it’s been pretty disappointing. And I’m sure I’m not the only one. Take, for instance, the other day. A man liked me. […]
