Describe one positive change you have made in your life.

Just one positive change may not seem to be very much. But when the negative aspect of that thing has been hanging around your neck for too long a time, then yes it is a big and somewhat important move. lets start with dodgy relationships and how to find them. Dating sites are an awful place. Dnd as asomeone recently described one in particular, which is linked to a popular social media platform. That place is the root of all evil. With hindsight, they are all pretty awful, which is why I have walked away from those places. They can be regarded in the same vein as smoking and drinking to excess: They will only fuck you up! Dating sites seem to attract some real weirrdoes, they claim their profile is recent and there it is with a I had mycovid jab banner. This is not recent and upon reading neither is the profile. half of the users seem to have been flat ironed and the others have grown dog ears and look stupid. This I suspect is common across multiple platforms. Other photos seem to have been written by dogs, horses and other non human users, or is that just an inability to follow simple instructions as to what images to use.TBH it is a better option to go to your local food store and say hi to someone who catches your eye there. At least you can see if they are human.

Thats dating sites out of the way. I know the question said describe one thing, Well I describing two. The second is naturally going to be dodgy relationships. Why inflict upon yourself the misery of an insane partner? Nobody needs a cat poisoner or identity thieves in their lives, nor do they need a stalker to give them restless nights. Or is it perhaps we do. To wake us up and make us change some aspect of our personality, that compels us to have this toxicity follow them around. Some people probably thrive on this shit, they like the stress and grief it brings. They like to talk of the misery they endure, how strong they are for carrying on with all this BS. Let me tell you, they are not strong. They have a ton of weight on their shoulders and it is slowly killing them. try carrying a heavy pack for many miles and tell me you don’t feel relief when you drop that load at journeys end. It is the same thing. Sometimes these thing are easier said than done, likewise it can sometimes take a little while to extricate oneself from all the straps and other entanglements these things can bring. Sometimes it seems to much of a fag, an inconvenience. Do it anyway and learn from the experience, you will be glad for the lesson.

I am a fine one to speak about this sort of thing. I can count on one hand (just) The amount of dodgy relationships I have been through. I think there must be or there was a mad person magnet secreted about my person. Or perhaps, it was all to do with the ego. The ego loves us to feel bad about ourselves, to beat ourselves up. The opposite is also true of course, but it depends on which animal you feed. There is little point in blaming the dating sites, Many people use these places and go on to lead absolutely normal and peaceful lives. Personally, I am now cured of them.
