ABOUT LOVE, LIES & SCANDALS
Where Passion Meets Poor Judgment
(And somehow turns into wisdom… eventually.)
Who I Am (Besides a Walking Plot Twist)
Hi, I’m the guy behind Love, Lies & Scandals — a self-proclaimed Cynical Romantic with a long history of tripping over my own heart, diagnosing myself via memes, and learning (sometimes reluctantly) that humor is often the only thing keeping life’s chaos from eating us alive.
I launched LL&S after being diagnosed with ADHD and OCD in my 60s — decades into careers, relationships, and routines that suddenly didn’t make sense anymore. Navigating that diagnosis felt like wandering through a maze with a flashlight that flickers whenever you think you’ve found the exit.
So I did what I know best: I told stories.
Stories about love, heartbreak, misfires, revelations, and the absurdity of being human.
Why Love, Lies & Scandals Exists
I never set out to create a “perfect life” blog. There are plenty of those — and you can spot the staged coffee mugs from space.
LL&S exists for a different reason:
To be a place where real life — the messy, hopeful, hilarious, painful parts — gets a seat at the table.
It’s built for:
Romantics with trust issues
Skeptics who still secretly believe in soulmates
Overthinkers who rehearse conversations alone in their cars
Anyone who has ever felt too much or held back too long
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is it just me?”
It’s not.
Humor as a Lifeline
When life handed me plot twists without an instruction manual, humor became my compass. It softened guilt, opened conversations, and helped me face truths I’d avoided for decades.
Humor doesn’t just soothe — it reveals.
It connects.
It disarms.
It lets us breathe.
LL&S is my way of offering that lifeline back to the world.

For decades, I thought vulnerability was a liability. Turns out, it’s the bridge to connection.
Sharing my stories led others to share theirs — and suddenly, isolation cracked open into community.
That’s the heart of LL&S:
A place where we don’t have to pretend.
Where honesty feels safe.
Where laughter sits right next to truth.
