    Spending as Self-Respect: Choosing Time Over Temporary Highs

    January 23, 2026 - By Ruby

    Every time we swipe a card or click “Buy Now,” we’re not just exchanging money—we’re spending life hours. And life hours are sacred. They’re our one-way ticket, slowly being used up, breath by breath. Money can be replenished. That’s its charm. You lose some, you earn more. But the hours you spent earning that money? You don’t get those back.…

    Cultivating Your Empath Healing Gifts by Mindful Discernment

    January 23, 2026 - By Ruby

    You are an empath and you have healing gifts. Anyone who receives them from you by mere texting, a short but deep conversation, or a heartfelt hug knows the magnitude of healing you can give. But sometimes, you feel off, like your equilibrium is off. You have rough days because you’ve been exposed to negativity, both external and internal. You…

    Self-Reflection: Finding Your Purpose and Peace Amidst Life’s Chaos

    January 23, 2026 - By Ruby

    Once upon a time in my life, I was just a piece of driftwood floating along the cosmic river. There were days when the world’s confusion clouded my vision, making each step heavier than the last. Then I discovered something extraordinary, something almost magical—self-reflection.  Not just the casual musings we engage in while showering or before falling asleep, but a…

    Journaling to Date Better People: Reflect, Understand, and Protect Your Heart

    December 28, 2025 - By Ruby

    Dating is not just about swiping, texting, or surviving awkward first dates. The real work begins long before you meet someone. It starts with understanding yourself. Journaling is more than a way to record daily events. It is a tool to reflect, grow, and uncover what you truly need from a partner. When you know yourself, you stop settling for…

    Do Not Stress Your Future Self for Temporary Validation

    December 27, 2025 - By Ruby

    Dating can feel like a credit card with a very low limit. Every excuse you make, every ignored red flag, every “maybe they will change” charge adds up—and eventually the interest comes due. Emotional exhaustion is real, and yet so many of us keep spending it like it’s limitless. Ask yourself: if you are already emotionally drained, does it make…

    Everyone on Social Media Is in Love (and You’re Not)

    August 20, 2025 - By Ruby

    You open Instagram. There they are again: the soft-lit selfies of happy couples holding hands in cafés you can’t afford, kissing on beaches you can’t get to, captioned with quotes about “finding your forever.” You scroll faster, but it’s everywhere. Apparently, everyone is madly in love except you. Maybe you’ve just been dumped. Maybe you’ve been single so long you’re…

    The Simple Path to Self-Love (After Someone Drop-Kicked My Heart)

    August 15, 2025 - By Ruby

    I’ve been in love enough times to know it’s not always candlelight and slow dances. Sometimes it’s betrayal in the form of a text. Sometimes it’s silence where there used to be warmth. And sometimes it’s watching someone choose someone else while you’re still holding all the memories. When it happened to me — the breakup, the rejection, the slow…

    Unspoken Bonds and the Ghosts We Carry

    May 2, 2025 - By Ruby

    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…
