    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    well well wellthis is what single life has been looking like for me:phase 1: march-april – surrounded myself with friends (the best!!) and then noticed I need some alone time too. Went to Portugal. Workouts, coffee shop hopping, doing the bare minimum. Gave online dating a try.

Coffee shops, parks, workouts, no meetings, no responsibilities, nobody waiting on me. I made the conscious decision to just try to enjoy my life, take it slower, and spend time with myself after my 5-year relationship came to an end.But I could not focus to save my life.For two months, I don’t think I sat down to do focused work once. I’d open my laptop and just… couldn’t. Go
