Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a Match, but not.com
People. I have spent what feels like many a lifetime, trying to get them to like me. In a world where connections are often fleeting and genuine understanding can seem elusive, the quest for meaningful relationships becomes both a pursuit and a puzzle. Yet, amidst the maze of social interactions, I've stumbled upon a revelation: perhaps the key to forging lasting connections lies not in seeking others' approval, but in building connections between them and it begins by me listening to you.
People often say I'm a good listener and give solid advice. Can't say I'm totally sold on that, but hey, I'll take the compliment. Sometimes I wonder if it's just because I'm too polite to cut them off when they're venting, or maybe I'm just not quick enough to get a word in! Either way, I do enjoy sharing a bit of wisdom, if folks are up for it.
Now, what makes me think I can dish out advice, especially about relationships, to all you lovely lot out there? Well, for starters, I'm not into bossing people around or telling them how to live their lives. I prefer to let you take the lead. I don't believe there's a one-size-fits-all approach to love. What works for one person might be a disaster for someone else. My style is more about getting to know you! What makes you tick? What are your No No's? How do you take your coffee? Are you the type to make a move on someone without a second thought, or do you weigh up all the pros and cons, like deciding to take the next train just to avoid them?
Confidence is key, but it's not about being flashy or seeking attention. It's about feeling good about who you are. We're bombarded with messages about being the best version of ourselves, with tons of products promising to make us better. Sounds good, right? But is it sustainable? What happens when things don't go as planned? How does that affect your self-esteem? I've had my fair share of nights feeling down because I ate something I shouldn't have or skipped a workout, thinking I'd failed somehow. Plenty of dates also ghosting me, as if to say, I wasn't good enough even for a goodbye. But that shouldn't define you, only how you treat yourself, defines you.
If you want to make something better, then that's great but I am here to also remind you, that you are good enough as you are and the trick is to surround yourself with others who may be like you but ultimately, appreciate you for being you.
In an age of social media and AI coming to get us all, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But amidst the chaos, this platform, the wee human begins; and it's designed to remind you that meaningful connections start with you.
