A lot of people have a hard time with relationships and generally scoff when I say “relationships are easy” (I’m overexagerrating a bit here), but I really do think that being in one isn’t as hard as everyone seems to think. It actually took me a long time to figure out what I was doing [...]

But I’m not talking science here, I’m talking about life. I’ve been pretty lucky for most of my life in that I’m pretty adept [...]
