Does anyone else feel like meeting people has become easier, but actually connecting with someone has become harder? I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately, especially how we keep meeting new people, trying, going on dates, talking… and still so often end up thinking “they’re nice, but I just don’t feel it.” So I went a bit nerdy with it and looked into what psychology says about endless choice, comparison, dating apps, and why having more options can sometimes make us more selective rather than more connected. I ended up writing a new Substack piece called “Why Nobody Feels Quite Right.” Would really love to hear your experiences too: do you think dating nowadays gives us too many options, or have we just become clearer about what we want? 🩵

My second chemo is done, and honestly, this one has been a bit harder than I expected. 🤕 A few days after treatment, I started feeling unwell and ended up being admitted to the hospital after testing positive for COVID (lucky me). I’m still here, and I have to admit it’s been frustrating and a little scary because of the fever. After everything that’s already happened, the last thing I wanted was to end up back in a hospital bed again. I just want to get through these months of treatment, get my life back, and start feeling like myself again. But I’m trying to remind myself that I don’t have to deal with everything at once. For now, I just need to get better and take the next step. Two chemos down, four to go. Hopefully, the next update will be from my own bed. 🫶🏻
