If I could describe all the reasons why I love you, I would be sad. I would be sad because I don’t want to know them all. There are reasons that are fine and can only be understood by those observing our love. There are reasons that come up in my dreams. There are reasons... Continue Reading →

The first thing you should know about me is that I’m an extremely anal packer. I spent the better part of a day planning and organizing and neatly folding my clothes so that I could travel light, with just my small pink carry on. Two people at the airport, upon discovering I was going to... Continue Reading →

You would assume a normal night routine for a high school student consists of homework, showering, shutting your light, closing your blinds, and going to sleep. Not me. When I lived at home, every night, around 11 p.m., my mother walked into my room to say goodnight and attempted to close my window shades. I... Continue Reading →

I didn’t know how to tell you that I was no longer in love with you. I didn’t want to break your heart. So, I ended it with you. It was easier breaking mine than putting you through it. Your heart is so pure and innocent, and mine is so cold. I have felt heartbreak... Continue Reading →

In the new year, try not to stick to a timeline. It’s healthy to set goals for yourself — but don’t beat yourself up when you aren’t able to accomplish them as quickly as you hoped.

I tell stories about you all the time. Sometimes, I remember to use the past tense — that was your favorite drink, that was the song you loved to dance to, that was the type of car you drove. But sometimes, it slips my mind and I speak in present tense. I still refer to your house as your house, even though... Continue Reading →

Even though you might feel like you cannot afford to rest, even though there is a lot of pressure being put on you, even though you want to spend your time making productive leaps toward your dreams, you cannot keep moving until you collapse. You are allowed to slow down. You are allowed to take... Continue Reading →

I am not the kind of guy who can ever be with you knowing that I’m simply an option. I’m a priority. Important. Not just a choice, but your first choice.

Do you ever want better? To feel good, comfortable in your own skin, taken back by your self-worth, confident in knowing you are growing into the person you always imagined yourself to be. Better knowing that you are real, you are alive, you are you, and that’s okay, it’s enough. Diving head first into your... Continue Reading →

How much does it really mean to hear someone say you will be happy again when you are in the throes of total misery? It always feels like an empty promise that brighter days are ahead when you can’t even remember the last time you even felt okay. There’s probably a small part of you... Continue Reading →

(Merry Christmas) In a world inundated by chaos and pain, faith and optimism can seem unsustainable.

Throughout our lives, we are constantly growing and evolving. We are constantly shifting and changing through our experiences, while constantly learning more about who we are and who it is we ultimately want to become. However, in doing so, there will inevitably be things and people that once served us that now don’t align with... Continue Reading →

Need is often viewed as a negative feeling. To tell someone we need them is to place too much responsibility on their shoulders. To tell someone we need them is to give them too much power over us. When we think we need a person in order to be happy, to survive, is it really... Continue Reading →

Let’s start with the fact that your Ego is highly overprotective – destined to keep you safe, dull, and cautious. Its sense of control is contagious. It will do anything to sabotage your happiness, good mood, and kill your positive vibes every time you give in. It’s by nature louder and has a persuasive tone. Because it will call upon an egocentric... Continue Reading →

According to psychological research, putting yourself in new and unfamiliar situations triggers a unique part of the brain that releases dopamine, nature’s make-you-happy chemical. This unique region of the brain is only activated when we see or experience completely new things. In other words: we only grow when we seek the unfamiliar, the unknown, the uncomfortable....

I know you want to write out a long, elaborate text explaining exactly why you’re upset with this other person. I know you want to show up at their door, screaming about how you cannot believe what they’ve done to you. I know you want to slash their tires, toss a drink at their face,... Continue Reading →

Somewhere inside our brains, we are hardwired to believe that happiness is some beautiful destination. We think that it’s right around the corner, and our whole lives are dedicated to finally arriving there. Happiness comes right after our next promotion, that new car we’ve been saving up for, or that pretty engagement ring on our finger.... Continue Reading →

Weightless. That’s how you made me feel on the good days. I felt as if I was walking on air, each step lifting me higher than before. Nothing held me down, nothing limited my potential.

Historically, we’ve pushed women into a matriarchal box that typically presumed women were made for the sole purpose of procreation. Labels assumed onto women were the opposition of parental and embryonic while men were attributed with primal strength and maturity. When in all actuality, all four descriptions can be accurate for both genders. Both genders can feel the desire to become a parent... Continue Reading →

Sex is a very uncommon conversation topic in our society. There’s no wonder—it’s fun, exciting, romantic, ground-shaking, and so much more. It can be intimate, creating a special and unbreakable bond between two lovers, but it can also be an adventure, leading to discovering your wants and needs and everything in between. Many people choose... Continue Reading →

Sometimes we get stuck in a rut and we need some encouragement. This one’s for you. To the girl who feels invisible, understand that you’re not.

I’ve always hated being vulnerable, whether that is people seeing me cry or just sharing my problems.

We live in a world of likes, a world where hearts and double-taps justify our stories, and a specific number of likes per post can confirm our appeal. Similarly, we’ve been groomed by social media to believe our follower count equates to our worth in the digital landscape. I’ve never prided myself in having a huge follower count...

I know what I said. I said that I don’t know what I feel. That it’s too much for me to handle. And that I don’t want you in my life. Yet you didn’t let me go. You were there for me regardless of how hard I pushed you away. You stayed put and fought... Continue Reading →

He’s not your almost boyfriend, not even your recently found or made bestfriend. He’s just an asshole who picks and chooses when he wants to acknowledge your existence.

Some people aren’t meant to stay in your life after a certain point. Some people are meant to leave by a certain date because that’s when their lesson is due.

This year has been nothing short of shocking.

Sometimes you might not be there for people who need you. Sometimes you might say the wrong things at the wrong times. Sometimes you might hurt people unintentionally. Sometimes you might lose your temper. Sometimes you might say awful things that you might not be able to take back afterward. Sometimes you might do the... Continue Reading →

The kind of person that’s worth falling in love with is someone who more than just a 1 a.m. hookup, more than just a gaze across the room, more than just a few messages peppered through the weekend, more certainty than indecision, more answers than questions. The kind of person that’s worth falling in love... Continue Reading →

There’s a popular yet misleading quote about meaningful work that says, “find your purpose, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” The phrase implies if you love your work, it won’t feel like work. Sounds appealing and like something to strive for, but if you have actually found your purpose,... Continue Reading →

Today I mustered up the courage to watch one of our favorite Netflix shows that we never finished. To be honest, I thought this day would never come. I still remember sitting in my room eight months ago, sobbing and writing a letter to you in which I mentioned how I would no longer be... Continue Reading →

I am beginning to understand that loving you was more painful than leaving you. As I’m shedding the skin that you molded so perfectly for me, I realize I was never happy with you. In hindsight, I was only settling for ambivalence and mediocrity. I was blindly searching for love in all the wrong places.... Continue Reading →

It’s 3 am and my phone dings. My heart lurches in my throat and I curse myself for not having it on silent. Not because it woke me up, but because I already know it’s her. I know that it’s her and that my fingers will betray me, just like they do every night. This... Continue Reading →

It’s not because I’m scared. It’s not that I’m unsure. It’s not because I abide by old traditions of the male saying so first. I want to wait to say I love you because I don’t want to do it without you. I love you because you’re sweet. Genuinely. The type of woman who opens... Continue Reading →

I cannot speak for others, as this battle is different for each person. What I can describe is my own experience in the hopes that my testimony could help another struggling soul. For three years, I have suffered and battled with Borderline Personality Disorder and Major Depression (diagnosed). Little did I know that for several... Continue Reading →

Drowning is one of the scariest concepts to me. To reach up and up and up as you feel yourself running out of air. That was me and as I approached 20. I found myself succumbing to the waves, allowing them to take me over. I decided that maybe this was just my fate—thank God... Continue Reading →

(Based on a true story) I hate dating apps. I refused to use them for the first — but I’m getting older and I’m getting less interested in the club scene, so it’s going to be hard to meet someone out in public. Not to mention the whole quarantine situation. A few weeks ago, I... Continue Reading →

I know you want to text her. Yes, her, the one you thought about as soon as you read the headline. You think about doing it all the time. You think about getting drunk just to use it as an excuse to contact her. But there is a reason you are not speaking right now.... Continue Reading →

Opening up can seem terrifying, daunting. When you begin, it can taste like a sour pill, hard to taste and swallow. You fight it at first, avoid it all costs, but deep down you know it’s necessary. One day, you begin. Slowly. It might take a few tries. But each time, each day, it gets... Continue Reading →

She’s been around so often you’ve taken it for granted a bit. You think no matter what you say or do, she’ll be there because she always has been. The average person wouldn’t have tolerated any of this for as long as she has. But the thing is she’s different. Her strength comes in the... Continue Reading →

I am done going above and beyond and getting left behind. I am done finding broken women who need me to fix them and then drain me of my energy and walk away with my heart. I am done getting broken promises from women who claim to be honest and loyal but walk away as... Continue Reading →

What if, in another universe, I deserve you? Hear me out. There’s this philosopher from the 1890s named William James, and he coined this theory about “the multiverse” which suggests that a hypothetical set of multiple universes comprises everything that can possibly exist simultaneously. Are you following? The entirety of space, time, matter and energy... Continue Reading →

The phrase “toxic” is everywhere now as the new buzzword for anyone we don’t like or get along with. It’s often used as a vague excuse to write people off for any reason deemed valid to us in the moment and feel no guilt. However, there’s a big difference between real toxicity and people who...

It’s probably happened to you before. You ran into your ex partner at a cafe, one that is closest to you but furthest from their house. Or you’ve had a look at their new partner who strikes a similar resemblance to… you? Most people may bring these small occurrences down to coincidence. But I am... Continue Reading →

The first moment I laid my eyes on this girl, I knew that there was something wrong. She had a sad look on her face and never seemed to look up.At that moment, I knew that something was going on. But I didn’t mind her, thinking that I’d be getting into business that wasn’t my... Continue Reading →

(Dedicated to my friend who needs to know she's the best!) Kind women are not dumb. They’re not naive. They see what others see. They know who’s fake and who’s genuine. They know who cares and who is just pretending. They know who is taking them for granted and who appreciates their kindness. They know... Continue Reading →

The truth is, life’s hard, and it’s always going to be this way. There’s no changing the fact that life will leave you devastated, broken, and hopeless during the worst of situations.

When you love someone, you don’t let the romance fade away. You don’t treat them like your princess during the puppy love stage and then neglect them once they are yours to keep. You don’t take them for granted. You don’t forget how lucky you are to have them. When you love someone, you should... Continue Reading →

(I know this is gonna be a lil lengthy, but do stay until the end!) We don’t commit now. We don’t see the point. They’ve always said there are so many fish in the sea, but never before has that sea of fish been right at our fingertips on OkCupid, Tinder, Grindr, Dattch, Chatous take your... Continue Reading →

They say that if a man is not ready for commitment, even if you bring him all the ladies in the world and hand it to him on a silver platter, he still will not commit. They also say that if a man really values you and doesn’t want to lose you, he will do... Continue Reading →

The truth about the closure you didn’t get is that you actually got it. No closure is somehow closure. We don’t really fall for someone thinking about how things will end – but we always hope that the ending will be clear and painless. The recent trend is that people end things without closure; they... Continue Reading →

A month has passed since the last time we talked. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I remember how hard I cried because this time, I knew our farewell was real. I knew that after that day, we wouldn’t talk again, and because of that, I saved the last voice message you sent, the one... Continue Reading →

In life, we come across many people who embody everything we do not want to be. Given that most people are generally predisposed to be kind and considerate, the time at which we cross paths with the people who drive us insane is often tainted by a circumstance that brings out the worst in them....

She doesn’t get attached because she simply learned that attachment is the root of all evil. It makes her cling to things she should release. It makes her chase people that are wrong for her. It makes her go after things that are probably not meant for her. It clouds her logic and her judgment... Continue Reading →

We live in a society based on instant gratification. Hungry? A microwave will have you eating in minutes. Getting your dream car is a simple matter of signing up for debt. And months of pining for a perfumed reply from your true love is replaced by a simple click on send/receive. Life has become convenient,... Continue Reading →

Sometimes we lose the love of our life. And our world breaks. We lose hope. We become depressed. We lose a sense of ourselves. We lose hope and dreams of the future. And worst of all, we have to start over. We’re left picking up the pieces of our lives. The ones they left behind.... Continue Reading →

It’s crazy how we allow ourselves to so easily forget how lucky we are, even in the simplest of forms.

We forget about all of... Continue Reading →

She won’t ask you to stay because she’s learned to never rely on someone else for her needs. She has been self-sufficient long enough to know people are not fixes. People don’t magically swoop in and make everything better. If there’s an issue, it has to be worked on. It has to be addressed, head... Continue Reading →

There is absolutely a difference between liking someone and valuing them. Sometimes I think we get more concerned with the fact that someone likes us that we forget how important it is to be valued. Being liked is good, but being valued is so much better. I like my phone, it occupies me when I’m... Continue Reading →
