  • At some point all the fun stuff from a new relationship dies down and most of it just turns into a drag. The deepest conversations you’ll have are about what to eat or whether you’ll be home at a regular time.

    I know this is not the case in all marriages but most of them that end in divorce are merely because it started as something fun, marriage seemed the next logical step and then you’re sort of locked into it, longing back to the excitement of getting to know each other. Being single is pretty much like that unless you never meet new people you have a fun couple of weeks with before never seeing each other again.





  • There was this guy who started college when I was chairman of the study association for IT. He was a bit of a geek even by IT standards, but all in all okay guy who brought a lot of enthusiasm.

    He was never really understood by his surroundings, had a tough childhood with some trauma. Went into special needs schools and working his way up to study IT at a good school. He was like 26 when he started, the more usual age being 18 or even 17.

    He was of course always welcome at our study association and everyone accepted him for who he was. He ended up also doing board work for the study association.

    Couple years later, I’d already graduated, we met at a general meeting for the association and afterwards he took me apart to say that he’d graduated. He said that it was because of me giving a speech to all first-years that he’d felt more or less at home, felt confident enough to join the association, found friends and that that helped him get his diploma. He said it was because of me he got where he was.

    I told him it was not because of me. He got to college before even meeting me. I was just there along the way to nudge him, unknowingly, towards a group of positive people who were always happy to help.

    He’d had tears in his eyes and I have him a quick hug. I then told him this study association did a lot of good for me too. Sometimes all you need to do is step into something to generate great change in your life.




  • I was really into the Rookie for the first two or three seasons but this last season it’s become a bit of a chore to keep watching. It used to be a believable cop show but it’s turned into a Hollywood bullet and fire fest where they are just picking up these super extreme crimes even though they are just simple streetcops.

    And although it was sort of refreshing to see people being so understanding of each other and communicating so well, it’s become a bit over the top and it just irks me now.

    I was sort of hoping they’d slap a bow on it and end it after this season but it looks like Hawley is hell-bent on running this into the ground like Castle.
