The last hurrah
I’m off Hinge. Not that I’ve found someone but I did find that I’ve lost all hope for the apps. In our digital age, data is probably one of the biggest commodities and the rules surrounding the capture and storage of personal information are incredibly blurred. With this in mind, I researched the generally untold…
Loveless in lockdown
Poof! And just like that, it’s the first of May! It’s a Friday evening and my working day concluded with weekly staff drinks on Zoom. This has been our ritual for the past seven weeks and of course, an explanation as to why this is, isn’t required at all. Our CEO foresaw this outcome very…
Friend’s finger frenzy
At the beginning of March, I had a long overdue dinner catch up with a friend. Up until the summer of last year, she lived super close to me and like all things that you think will last forever, I never took advantage of it. During the years when she was only a walking distance…
Tick one
A little later than scheduled but I’m pleased to say, I have crossed off the first item from my goals list. Monday 2 March marks three weeks of homeownership, as also confirmed by my first mortgage repayment being deducted today. My original completion date was 6 January but eventually sealing the deal on 10 February…
Wish it(ish), get it(ish)
I mulled over whether or not this story was worth sharing but actually it makes me smile every time I recall the happenings. I must add, I smile at how laughable the situation was because it’s the kind of story that would typically happen to me. I mentioned the guy I had 3.5 dates with…
Letter to the Wolf Moon
It’s the tenth day of a brand new decade, so I’ll skip over the past reflections/future resolutions blah blah that comes with this time of year*. Instead, I will refer to my last yoga session of 2019. My teacher of choice typically begins by encouraging us to set our intentions for the practice and for…
Swinging doors
With the mention of the word ‘hinge’, the image that comes to mind is a swinging door toing and froing. I don’t really know what the rationale is behind the name of the app but I’m currently on Hinge. I’d been putting it off for so long, finally succumbing at the end of July, which…
I’m normal, I swear!
Uncharacteristically for me, the last few posts have come through thick and fast. My main motivation for this was wanting to publish this specific piece but I felt the groundwork really needed to be laid out. By now, you’re up to date on the other happenings of this year, I’ve tried to reset the canvas…
My magnet
You are what you attract, right? Isn’t that how the saying goes? In a conversation with my sister about three years ago, when she was dealing with a douche of a dude, she asked me “why do I keep attracting these guys?”, to which I immediately responded, “the problem isn’t that you keep attracting these…
And by the way…..
This year is determined to pass by in a fleeting whirl of work meetings, work deadlines, actual work and more exercise classes than my wallet really should be facilitating. I’ve been a busy, busy bee, which means for the most part, I haven’t actually put much effort into dating but that’s not to say that…
When the mountain came…..
We can spend so many moments of our lives wishing for certain things to happen. I don’t like what ifs and am much more inclined to take my chances should an opportunity arise. And if it doesn’t, I’ll create it! When I went to Chicago in 2015, it was an absolute leap of faith. I…
