So, is online dating for men absolutely crazy? No, and yes. But really, that’s what online dating is for most people: awkward, exciting, scary, and essentially, a lot of possibilities. If you’re here, you are probably considering online dating because you’ve never done it. You could also be looking for answers to why your experience […]
I’ve been teaching middle school for 16 years now, and I can attest that middle schoolers are a special breed of crazy. On the whole, they’re hormone-riddled, not sure who they are yet, and stuck somewhere in between little kid and teenager. This haziness is reflected in almost every aspect of their personalities.

If you are in a long-distance relationship, then I probably shouldn’t tell you that more than 35% of them fail. Yikes, right? Not really, though.

It wasn’t an event I anticipated, nor something I thought would shape my understanding of life and relationships as deeply as it has. But, life teaches us the most through unexpected experiences. You see, my parents got a divorce after 30+ years of marriage! My brothers and I were all in our late twenties and […]
One thing I have noticed is that men love to talk about fitness. They share gym routines, food calendars, protein intake and recipes, and more. Bros always try to get their fellow bros fit and healthy. The only fitness guys rarely pay attention to is social fitness for men. But I get it. Social fitness […]
It seems that the world never stops changing, especially in employment. In less than five years, we went from office setups to remote working and then found balance in a hybrid setup. And the dust is yet to settle on a lot more things. In the middle of all these changes, I could not help […]
One of the few things I have learned about freelancing is that I am a job seeker for as long as I’m working. Yes, there are benefits like working your own hours and having free time beyond the weekday. But you are always hunting for a job—which is what most people are doing right now. […]
