There’s something suspiciously enchanting about someone who isn’t around. When they’re not texting back, not showing up, or not in the room, they become saints, poets, and misunderstood geniuses in our minds. We replay their half-smiles like sacred relics. We assign meaning to silences. We say, “They must be thinking about me too.” (They’re not. They’re probably thinking about pizza.…
Sometimes, love meets us in a moment when we are not ready to receive it fully. Or we are, and they are not. The reasons vary. Timing. Distance. Circumstances neither of you could change. Still, it leaves you with the ache of unfinished conversation and the weight of unspoken goodbyes. It’s a strange thing—to become strangers with someone who knows…
You don’t always lose someone in a dramatic, cinematic way. Sometimes, you just stop speaking. You drift. The messages grow shorter. The silence grows louder. And before you know it, you are two people carrying pieces of each other’s truth—no longer in each other’s lives, but never entirely out of them. There are people we do not speak of, not…
There’s something deeply unsettling about someone who knows your truths. Not the curated, social-media-friendly truths, but the raw ones—the ones you whisper into the dark and hope no one hears. When that person becomes a stranger, it feels like walking around with your soul slightly ajar. The silence between ex-lovers isn’t empty. It’s loud. It’s filled with all the conversations…
Let’s start with a hard truth: love, no matter how real, doesn’t always mean forever. Sometimes it means for now, and occasionally, it means until one of us figures out how to function like a semi-stable adult. The idea that “if the love is real, we’ll see each other again” sounds romantic, but it can also be a very convenient…
You know before they say anything. You pretend you don’t. You double down on the jokes. You casually mention your latest dating disaster like a human smoke bomb. But the truth hangs in the air like forgotten laundry—obvious, slightly uncomfortable, and starting to smell like tension. There’s a certain kind of panic that hits when your best friend looks at…
Falling for your BFF is not all gloom and doom. Here’s a post about BFFs who maybe fall in love—with all the awkwardness, hope, and emotional potholes that come with it: There comes a time in every emotionally chaotic person’s life when they look at their best friend and think, “Wait… do I love you? Or did you just lend…
Best friends forever is a myth!
You know those stories about people who have been happily married for 30 years, only to attend a high school or grade school reunion and suddenly fall head over heels for their old crush? The kind of emotional tornado where they’re even considering leaving their families behind? I always thought those people were either going senile or, frankly, just losing…
Life is a series of uncertainties, and perhaps one of the most profound uncertainties we face is the unpredictability of our relationships. Break-ups, though often painful and emotionally taxing, offer us a valuable lesson in navigating the uncharted waters of the unknown. They teach us to appreciate, or at the very least, accept the concept of not knowing and help…
