Forever Alone | Chapter 5: Highlands & High Expectations

Listen now | In which I encounter a hot Scottish man on a train, zero in on a future mother-in-law, break up with the Universe, and finally drag myself to therapy.

I published Forever Alone: One Introverted Millennial’s Half-Agonizing, Half-Hopeful Journey Through Singledom in 2021 as a 7-part podcast miniseries. I’m re-publishing it exclusively on Substack in both audio and written form! You can opt to read from the beginning here.


Excerpt: “The weather was exactly what you’d expect when Kristen, my mom, and I stepped outside the airport in Scotland—a little cold, a little windy, and very wet. And the drive into Edinburgh didn’t disappoint, either. The magnificence of Edinburgh Castle atop its imposing volcanic rock was enough to leave me a bit dumbstruck for a few minutes. Ancient castles perched above a city don’t exist in America. There was something about a sight like that that made it easier to believe that something magical may indeed be afoot for me.”
