So after the American ghosting situation, I have some thoughts. Naturally, I’m going to air those thoughts because I think a few people might have felt the same at some point. These thoughts also made me think about how dire the dating situation is for everyone at the moment. After the American left the scene...
“No luck on the flight getting delayed?” We continued texting for a while. It was pretty much daily. He would send very sweet messages about how much he liked me and he wasn’t interesting in ‘hooking up’ with anyone else (he’s American remember). I was trying not to get my hopes up because realistically, this...
So, I went on a few dates with someone. It was actually more than a few dates. I’m not going to write about him or our time. That’s the decision I’ve made and it’s my blog so I get to make that decision. It was earlier this year and lasted for the best part of...
I wrestled with writing this post and whether to even post it. It took a few drafts and edits. In the nearly 10 years of writing this blog (award nominated I’ll have you know), I never thought I’d be writing a post about my embarrassing and completely unhinged behaviour. But here we are. So strap in. ...
I’ve not been doing fine. I tell everyone “I’m fine” but the reality speaks very differently. This year has been possibly the hardest in terms of my emotional and mental wellbeing. I’ve struggled every day. Some days it just felt too much and I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to feel this...
I’ve lost the will to live. Not the will to be alive. I keep breathing in and out and I keep being alive but I’m not living. Not like I used to. I used to try to make the most of days and work trips. I wanted to enjoy every moment as much as I...
Once, twice, three times ghosted! Excellent. Granted, two of them then a few weeks later came back to apologise for ghosting me and of course included the “it’s not you, it’s me” line in one way or another. One of the guys is sadly Pete* from my last date. My first toe back in the...
Just keep going George. Carry on putting one foot forward and the other will always follow. I keep looking down at the ground and just watching my feet move heavily over the rocks and snowy path. The sound of my deep breathing fills my head and I can feel my chest trying so hard to...
I promise I’m trying. I’m trying to rise from the ashes and be better. I promise I am trying to feel better. It’s been a struggle. I’ve hid it well though because nobody seems to realise how much I’m struggling. Hanging on by a thread. Don’t get me wrong: as in my previous post, everyone...
I want to say Thank you. Thank you to all of you. I’ve received so many messages. More than I ever thought I would from people checking in, offering advice or places to escape to for a while. Dog walks, coffee dates, ears to rant to and anything in between! People I don’t know very...
