In the popular imagination, dating is often portrayed as a performance — quick repartee across a candlelit table, sparks flying within the first fifteen minutes, and the kind of effortless charm that belongs more to romantic comedies than real life.

Published 31st Jul, 2025 | Last Updated 31st Jul, 2025If you grew up in the 90s or early 2000s, your idea of romance was probably shaped long before you ever went on a date. It came from the big screen, from TV shows with canned laughter, and from love stories set to carefully timed background music. You didn’t just watch love happen. You absorbed […]

Published 1st Jul, 2025 | Last Updated 31st Jul, 2025There’s a quiet strength in women who have experienced life’s more complicated chapters. Not the curated Instagram challenges or the light-touch “self-care” struggles, but the actual, messy, identity-altering kind. The kind that rearranges your inner architecture and rewrites what you expect from the world and from yourself. These are the women who tend to make […]

Published 24th Jun, 2025 | Last Updated 24th Jun, 2025For the longest time, masculinity was packaged and sold in one universally agreed-upon flavour: tall, brooding, emotionally unavailable, and usually seen walking away from an explosion without flinching. Think Ethan Hunt pulling off impossible missions, or James Bond adjusting his cufflinks after crashing an Aston Martin. But here’s the plot twist: in 2025, we’re not […]

Published 22nd May, 2025 | Last Updated 22nd May, 2025In an era where your love life is one tap away, the tyranny of the dating profile has never been more brutal. If you’re not tall, lean, rich, or Ivy League enough, welcome to the invisible queue. These are the “Not Good on Paper” rejections: quiet, constant, and often cruel. You might be witty, kind, […]

Published 7th May, 2025 | Last Updated 7th May, 2025Love might be fireworks, but friendship is the fuse. We’ve heard it in movies, we’ve seen it in real life: two people fall madly in love… and then, one day, they quietly drift apart. No drama. No big betrayal. Just a growing silence, a tired routine, and a version of each other they no longer […]

Published 30th Mar, 2025 | Last Updated 30th Mar, 2025Love and loss are inextricably linked. To love deeply is to risk heartbreak, yet to avoid love entirely is to deny ourselves one of life’s greatest experiences. When we lose someone—whether through a breakup, death, or estrangement—it can feel like a part of us is frozen in time, caught between longing and fear. But grief, […]

Published 20th Feb, 2025 | Last Updated 20th Feb, 2025There are words we use now, words that did not exist in quite the same way before. Red flags. Green flags. Beige flags. A taxonomy of warning and permission. This is how we talk about relationships: through colors, through signals, through signs we must read carefully or risk missing something crucial. The red flags are […]

Published 10th Feb, 2025 | Last Updated 10th Feb, 2025We tell ourselves stories about love, about what it should look like and what it might save us from. But there are other stories too, the ones we don’t write down, the ones we wish we didn’t have to live. These are the stories of love turned toxic, where the line between affection and manipulation […]

Published 21st Jan, 2025 | Last Updated 21st Jan, 2025Relationships are supposed to be partnerships—an equal exchange of love, respect, and support. But sometimes, without even realising it, one partner slips into the role of a caregiver or, worse, a parent. Suddenly, the dynamics shift from romance to reminders: “Did you pay that bill?” “Don’t forget your doctor’s appointment,” or the dreaded, “Why do […]
