I finally deleted Instagram a few days ago and I honestly didn't expect it to affect me this much. For context, I've been using it for years. Not as an influencer or anything. Just a normal person posting photos, stories, random moments fro...

We were really good before we moved in together. That’s what makes this harder to admit. We had our own spaces, met regularly, enjoyed each other’s company, and everything felt balanced. Moving in felt like the natural next step. At first,...

I started reading a book about emotionally unhealthy relationships recently, and honestly… I didn’t expect it to affect me this much. At first I picked it up casually, thinking maybe I’d relate to a few parts here and there. But the more I...

I never imagined dating in my 30s would feel this lonely. Every time I open a dating app, it feels like I’m scrolling through different versions of the same disappointment. Some people say they want commitment but have no space for another...

We broke up, did the growing apart, the silence, the trying to forget. A year later we are talking again, slower this time, more honest. Part of me is scared to hope, to hand over the power to be hurt the same way twice. But it feels differ...

Good morning is their good night. We catch each other in the cracks of our days, screens glowing in two different darknesses. I would not trade them, but I am tired of hugging a phone, of celebrations witnessed through a lens, of a love tha...

The second someone gets close and kind and consistent, an alarm goes off in me. I get distant, I pick fights, I find flaws, I leave before I can be left. Then I grieve the very thing I destroyed. I am so tired of protecting myself out of ev...
