The lonesomeness of modern life.

The word "lonesomeness" is defined as 'solitary or lonely: she felt lonesome and out of things'. It came to me when reading about the burgeoning industry of online dating, especially in the 25-35 age group who are spending serious money in employing 'dating assistants', 'dating photographers' and 'profilers' to market themselves to the opposite sex. Do we have to be repackaged like a multinational brand and 'curated' so that we can mix more confidently in society because now we have a partner? Are we too busy to spend some time in introspection and have some confidence in the talents which we all have somewhere tucked away? This really is the essence of My Mood Kit; introspection and self-knowledge which once captured, beam forth and automatically attract.
