I gave all that up when I went into recovery! Just spending time in nature with family and friends.. Not wasting a second or a second thought on nonsense... Help people along the way if one can...
I would have a great interest in how the brain works because there is so little that we know about it... when we are processing in the conscious, unconscious or subliminal mind.. it only takes 21 days to develop or lose a habit... that is rewiring the brain.
I think you make a very valid point. At this point in our lives we have been so conditioned over time... if mindfulness helps us to relearn, then I am all for that!!
I love Banksy. Visited his Street Art in Bristol. Loved his “Dismaland” a display of our potential dystopian future... his Banksy Christmas Card is hugely popular. I find it difficult to pick a favorite... However, the youth club that was closing, in 2014, in Bristol, due to lack of funds and during the night he painted an image on the door of the club!
It is all about attention. She is testing if you have more time for her or a man in your life. She will only test you when there is a man in your life. It’s back to normal when you are alone again!! Normal behavior, I expect, as you more than likely were her prime cater all her life!!
I would always be concerned that there would be a hole in the safety net when I was falling! I am a ENTP personality type... We are the ultimate devil’s advocate, thriving on the process of shredding arguments and beliefs and letting the ribbons drift in the wind....
As some have already said, “if he is in love with his Tonic and Gin” or another woman, you are his punch bag or you are his “friend with benefits” - love never grows from those situations; only more disrespect. Love yourself first, with all your heart for every scar and imperfection and all the wonderful things within! Love does not need to be fought over, it just happens!
If I was walking down the street and I met a guy approaching, in a state of arousal, in Lycra bottoms, with all his bits on display, do I think he has a right to wear what he likes?? Hell No!!
Adult women have to take a certain amount of responsibility if they are harassed. In general, we have to give people permission to harass us. You either put your foot down at that percise moment and stop it or you get on with life. Accusing someone days, months or yrs after the fact is unethical as far as I am concerned.
You are not alone. I think we all have a tendency, at times, to throw in the towel, raise the white flag and more than not; take our place on the victors podium of life! Well done!
There is no such thing as unconditional love (romantic), it comes with all conditions. This links me back to love being selfish. We already have a set of preconditions before we even find a significant other. Not everyone falls into that image we have created, it will be unique to everyone. Our significant other will also have a set of preconditions and an image (broadly speaking) of what they want in a partner...

RE: Singledom is a positive choice, not a death sentence.
We are meant to be one half of a whole! Life is always better when shared through another’s eyes and ears....
