I applaud you for making the effort in searching for the truth. It takes a great amount of courage and energy to say 'enough is enough' and go against your usual behaviour. Therefore I won't keep you any longer! My articles are 100% ad free and are a collection of my inner most realisations about love, relationships, life and happiness, put together for you to make sense of your own journey.
