I’ve just started seeing someone new. He’s sweet, he’s nice, there’s none of these games that boys love to constantly play and it’s really damn easy. I’ve not once felt insecure, don’t feel the need to keep checking my phone and he even ticks all the boxes of The Potential New Boyfriend Equation. I even got references from his ex...

Do you ever feel like you are in over your head? That everything has suddenly decided to happen at the same time and you are completely overwhelmed? Sod’s Law never ceases to amaze me with its impeccable timing. Why does everything have to happen at once? Now I have to admit something to you. I am a stressy person. I have...

I spotted her heading my way towards the bar with all the determination of a Salmon fish swimming upstream. I tried to look for an escape but it was too late. I was cornered and she was moving in like a hungry mantis to the place I (ironically) had come to drown my sorrows and forget. But no sooner had... Read the rest of this post...
