Hi! I’m the complexity melter! I aim to detect where ‘complex’ or ‘complexity’ is misused. Why? More often than not, those words are the alibi for not taking responsibility, which means living others’ lives.

Do you want to build your life? Or be the bad copy-paste of a mediocre someone else? It’s all about taking or not taking responsibility. Life isn’t easy but much more straightforward than fake complexity suggests.

Love is the arena where the complexity induced by the fear of failure is magnified. Whatever kind of love engages humans with such strong expectations that failure isn’t acceptable. The result is a profound mismatch between facts and how they resonate in our minds full of alibi.

Different doesn’t mean complex

Loving your partner, children, or parents means desiring and possessing them and their well, too. This love attitude builds expectations in our emotional mind. When expectations flow into emotions, we are trapped.

Failure is a difference. Desires and facts diverge. That’s it. Emotions do a detrimental job of fostering frustration.
