Hi! I’ve been away from my blog involved with my other projects and then the pandemic hit… standstill…

I’m curious how many of you have had this pandemic change your relationship- couples, marriages, dating. Have your family and friends been supportive or the opposite? Many people have had to physically separate and distance because of the virus. Some chose not to expose their loved ones due to the job and risk they have. Distance is difficult and in a pandemic its even harder. Has the time apart changed things? Does the old adage “absence makes the heart grow fonder” hold true today? Are those around you fostering growth or planting doubt?

Are they giving you unsolicited advice about relationships with good intentions? How does this influence you?

Maybe you quarantined away from your significant other? Since you’ve been with family and friends how has your perspective changed? How do you see your significant other? Do you take their advice, if they didn’t like him/her and throw the relationship out the window? Are you a strong enough person to stick to your own ideas about your relationship? My belief is–be strong, calm and only you know how you truly feel. Be true to yourself in your heart and that always works best. There’s an old saying that says “if you don’t take the first bite you’ll never get the joy of the taste“.

The pandemic has taught us it is not good to be alone. Remember life is not a dress rehearsal. Don’t take your loved ones for granted.
