The Dark Side of Being Single: More Freedom, More Temptation

In this video, I break down a truth most people never talk about: being single makes us more vulnerable to hedonism.

When we suddenly have extra time, more empty space, and more emotional noise, it's easy to fill that gap with food, pleasure, distractions, or anything that keeps us from feeling our negative emotions.

I talk about why singleness creates this perfect storm:

More time alone to ruminate
No partner to “show up” for physically or emotionally
No shared future or long-term vision to keep us anchored
And the subtle way loneliness pushes us toward short-term dopamine instead of long-term meaning

This isn’t a video about avoiding pleasure — it’s about understanding why our guard drops when we’re alone, and how to rebuild a healthier, more intentional relationship with ourselves.

If you’re single right now, or ever struggled with discipline during lonely seasons, I hope this helps you feel understood — not judged.
