Seeing Desire for What It Really Is
We often look to others to decide what we want. We glimpse a moment in their life — a success, a lifestyle, a relationship - and imagine that having what they have will complete something in us.

What Slowing Down Really Taught Me This Year: Coming Back to My Body, My Life and Myself

I’m sorry to report it isn't instant, but you wouldn’t appreciate it if it was, trust me.
Love, Perception Verses Reality
To love is to be at ease with another, this ease can sometimes create a false perception for onlookers. Ease does not mean easy. After a recent collection of conversations with singles, I have become curious about this topic, and how a skewed perception of couples from singles who are looking for love could be damaging.
