It’s a strange thing to me but every now and then, I go back to the hookup app where I met my ex. I don’t really know why I do it. Force of habit I suppose.
Occasionally, I will get chatting with someone.
Last night and this morning, I chatted with a chap who listed his age as 98. Obviously this wasn’t his real age (it’s actually 74). His photos too were largely out of date. I advised him to update his age so it was accurate and to do the same with his pictures.
It’s a funny thing that people will report they don’t get much interest when they are intentionally lying. They don’t want to reveal the truth and own where they are in life.
No honesty means no connection.
I realise this is where my ex and I went wrong. He wasn’t invested in me, I idealised him. I didn’t want to see, neither did he. You can’t live your life properly if you’re hiding behind the sofa trying to shield yourself from a horror film.
The same goes with admitting the stage of life you’re at. You are the age you are. You’re in the condition you’re in. Your business is producing (or not) the results it deserves.
Honesty first.
Strategy later.
Live not by lies.
