What's the hardest truth of life?

Niklas Göke, My peers think I'm weird. I must be doing something right.
I met my ex-girlfriend on Tinder. We matched, we met, we were together for almost two years. We broke up two years ago and I haven’t been with anyone since. What I learned is that even when you feel ready, you can’t skip to the end.

You cannot find love by looking for it.

The moment you start searching, you’ve already twisted yourself into a pretzel that’s nothing but a poor copy of the awesome you you actually are. That’s why online dating rarely works.

Love starts with loving yourself. It’s one of those “when the student is ready, the teacher appears” kind of things. Like attracts like.

And if you don’t think you’re awesome, work on it. Do something for yourself. Go to the gym. Start a business. Buy a book. Paint. Whatever gets you closer to being someone you would want to date yourself. The only person you are guaranteed to spend the rest of your life with is you.

Make sure you’re in great company.
