When we’re too needy to see the truth. — Of all the countless moments I had shared with my ex-girlfriend, the one I remember the most is the memory of the day when we last saw each other, on the day when she told me we were breaking up. I was sitting in front of her, on the breakfast…

And the ever ignored Compounding rule of a relationship — “We’re meant to be!” This belief. This feeling — It is the most important reason that breaks up even the strongest of the relationships. This belief that we are soulmates, that we are perfect for each other, it’s a miracle that we ever met, that our meeting was somehow special…

And you should try these too. — 2022 was a great year for me. I made many changes in my habits and routines that improved my both personal and work life. Result — more time for what I love doing — reading, writing, and spending time with family. What helped me? Tech played a key role in…
