Dream Lover

In the words of Bobby Darin: "I want a dream lover/So I don't have to dream alone."

As we make our way through the pandemic, there seems to have been a shift in the dating world. There's a change in the air these days - where pre-pandmeic, we has a huge "Let's go with the flow and see what happens" culture, we are now entering a time where relationships of all kinds - especially romantic relationships, are at the top of our lists of things we would like in 2022. Being in lockdown has forced many to re-evaluate their lives and thinks of how they would like to live now, and going into the future. People I've talked to are now looking for someone to share their lives with - whether that's going on vacation or at home, watching Netflix.

Many people I know have had thoughts that they missed their chance to date or be in a relationship. While the landscape has changed, I am here to tell you that you're not too late. Start to think about the kind of person you'd like to be with, and write it down. That's the best way to know what you're looking for, and to put out in the universe the kind of relationship you'd like in your life. Whoever you're looking for, is looking for you too. You need only be open to love, and you'll find that this year will be your best yet.
