Forget the Finish Line, Just Get Started

“As you start to walk on the way, the way appears.” — You feel stuck. You second-guess everything you do the second you do it. You’re no longer sure about the difference between what fits into your plan and what you think you’re supposed to be doing. And social media doesn’t help.

If they were, we wouldn’t be having this conversation. — My deep dive into the study of romantic relationships wasn’t exactly a conscious decision. As these things usually happen, the end of my own long-term relationship took me not only to a therapist’s couch but to my computer’s keyboard, where long writing sessions paved the way to over 500 Medium…
