The worst thing that can happen is that I start over one day. But for now, Tinder is staying offline. Lately, every conversation seems to be about one thing. And that's not a problem. It can be fun, too. But it almost immediately becomes - [The passenger seat](https://lararongen.com/the-passenger-seat/) - The other day I told a friend about my idea for The Royal Club 🏰How it all started after a man dumped me, blocked me, and basically forced me to deal with myself instead. 😄 During that conversation she said something interesting. She knows a lot of women who have their lives together. Good job, - [Like with your mother…](https://lararongen.com/like-with-your-mother/) - “Like with your mother, but with sex?” “Yes,” Marjo’s husband had answered, when she asked him if that described his ideal relationship. I often run into Marjo during my morning walks with the dogs. She’s a warm, kind-hearted woman from Limburg, and after each encounter we know a little more about each other. Her dog - [The fall](https://lararongen.com/the-fall/) - At the campsite, I notice a woman with her foot in a cast. She looks downcast as she hops toward the restroom on her crutches. She looks just as somber when she hops back to her camper. Even when I greet her, nothing changes. I suspect she’s hoping for a little sympathy. Almost a year - [The most welcome guest is no more…](https://lararongen.com/the-most-welcome-guest-is-no-more/) - About the magical farewell of a little dog who was busier than ten very busy dogs combined. When I drive Zjon to the vet on Monday, he looks out of the window. As if he knows what’s coming. Since Sunday morning, his only back leg hasn’t been working anymore. That morning in the forest, he - [Thanks for playing](https://lararongen.com/thanks-for-playing/) - My sister and I are sitting on a beach in Portugal. In front of us, two boys — about eight or nine years old — are playing. A smaller boy — maybe three — walks up to them and tries to join in. But he is clearly not welcome. When the little guy asks them - [The smallest egg](https://lararongen.com/the-smallest-egg/) - I remember, a long time ago, frying eggs for my ex. I was convinced I had given him the biggest, best-looking one. But when I saw him glance — disappointed — at his egg and then at mine, and heard him say,“Why did you give yourself the biggest egg?”I was stunned. I thought:When do I - [The gumball machine](https://lararongen.com/the-gumball-machine/) - I’m at Camping L’Ourthe in the Ardennes with my nieces Sam and Lou. The little table is set, the fairy lights are up, our beds are made, and the sun is shining. We are ready. I give them each 10 euros to spend on whatever they want this weekend. I call out, “Are you sure?” - [10000 likes in 10 days](https://lararongen.com/10000-likes-in-10-days/) - And no, this is not about a Facebook course. Last December, I got dumped after a five-month digital “situation.”I texted, “Can we at least talk about it?”One checkmark. Blocked. Rejection I can handle.But no communication? That’s my biggest nightmare. “A situation is a semi-exclusive arrangement with optional commitment, no clear expiration date and no return policy.”— - [“I have to say I’m three…”](https://lararongen.com/i-have-to-say-im-three/) - When my nephew Jim was still a little guy — and still found his Aunt Lara interesting (he’s 13 now) — he loved coming over for sleepovers. I was still living in Eindhoven back then. Sleepovers meant no rules: endless TV, a fully stocked candy drawer at grabbing height, and — fixed tradition — chips - [Whose dogs are those?](https://lararongen.com/whose-dogs-are-those/) - This morning, while waiting in the newly opened second checkout line at Aldi with a fresh baguette and dog food, a woman storms into the store shouting: “Whose two dogs are in that car?” It takes me a moment to realize she’s talking about me.My head is still somewhere in the clouds after my Greek - [My Greek God](https://lararongen.com/my-greek-god/) - Yes, that one from the line at Aldi. 🐾 My Greek god is not Greek. And definitely not a god. Just a guy from Maastricht who was replacing gas pipes in my street. I call him that because he is, at least to me, unbelievably handsome — and one of those rare specimens who seems - [An unused box of colored pencils](https://lararongen.com/an-unused-box-of-colored-pencils/) - Every now and then, the walls start closing in on me.And suddenly, everything in the house has to change. Recognizable? The couch turns 180 degrees to the right.The kitchen table goes back to its old spot.The shelving unit moves to the other side of the room. To make that happen, the shelves have to be - [Our final day together...](https://lararongen.com/our-final-day-together/) - Polly is nearing 15. That’s quite an achievement for a little dog — even if she’s not big and not an official purebred. Her name was originally Sonja, but that reminded me of the nasty little dog from the neighbors when I was a kid. The one that would bite your calves without hesitation. If - [Harry Grumblepants](https://lararongen.com/harry-grumblepants/) - Every day starts the same.Wake up, stretch, shower, glass of water, and off to the Koumenberg with the dogs (now just Easy) for a walk.
