Friendships and romances seldom happen like those in the movie When Harry Met Sally.

Maybe i don’t want the fairytale ending anymore; maybe the friendship part is what i really want — because it’s a lot more reasonable and realistic, and probably the best thing for me at this point.

I’m happy to head into 2026 with a few good friends and no further expectations — that’s just fine with me.

I really enjoyed my time in the romance game; i would not trade it for anything. But now i’m ready for the next stage, the next part of life. Maybe i can actually get some work done, but i doubt it; there’s still so much fun to be had otherwise.

My advice: don’t worry about anything and just enjoy.

Happy Winter Solstice 2025!

Happy New Year 2026!
