Dear Selfless Esteem,
You usually suggest writing in a journal. Can you say more about that? I'm so tired at the end of the day that the thought of picking up a pen is like picking up a heavy weight. I need to be convinced of the benefit before adding this to my packed daily routine.
Signed,

Dear Selfless Esteem,
I'm engaged to a wonderful man. We met years ago but we were both in relationships at the time. When we met again last year, we were both single and started dating. He lives in CA and I'm in FLA so I'll be moving across the country soon. Right now, everything is really good. I'd like to keep it that way. Any advice?
Signed,
Blissful Bride

Dear Selfless Esteem,
I've always had a girlfriend since high school. My most recent relationship just ended. I don't want to be alone, but I feel like I should take a break. How can I be single without being lonely?
