Modern Dating Is Scaring the Shit Out of Me

I’ve always been a lover girl. I love love. The act of falling and staying in love has fascinated me for as long as I can remember — which is ironic, because I’ve never been in a relationship. I just love the idea of it. Holding hands, walking in the rain, sharing a cup of coffee on the balcony with your person… bliss. Pure bliss. But here’s the thing: modern dating? It’s scaring the shit out of me. Every time I open Instagram, I stumble upon new dating terms I’ve never heard before. Half of them I don’t even understand — and honestly, I’m not sure I want to. Love feels more complicated than ever. People treat each other like options. They hide behind vague words. A “situationship” — where it feels like dating but no one dares call it that. “Benching” — keeping someone on standby while pursuing others.

Trying Again, Gently

Waking up, going to college, and returning home every day has started to feel more exhausting than fulfilling. The excitement to learn has faded these past few weeks, and even the simplest joys — like writing something just for myself — felt far away. The happiness I used to feel from a warm cup of coffee?

Enjoying the mundane — the small, beautiful moments — has been buried beneath stress, anxiety, and constant tiredness. But… here I am. Trying. Trying to show up for the promises I once made to myself. I’m learning, slowly. Trying to ease back into the routine that once made me feel whole. Trying to learn new skills, discover new joys, and become...

✨ In My 20s: Soft Thoughts on Figuring Life Out

  Hey there — I’m 22, and sometimes that feels like standing right in the middle of who I was and who I want to be. It’s messy, confusing, and honestly, sometimes really beautiful too. I thought by now I’d have it all sorted out — a clear plan, a shiny routine, maybe even a grown-up version of myself who knows exactly what she’s doing. Spoiler: I don’t. But here’s what I do know so fa r… 🌷 It’s Okay to Be a Little Lost Often, we don’t know what to do in life, and that’s okay. We don’t have to have it all figured out right now. Sometimes, it takes time to discover what we truly enjoy doing. Live in your present without worrying too much about the future. Time will move you in the right direction. 🌷 Comparing Myself Hurts More Than It Helps Recently, I opened a LinkedIn profile. While exploring other people’s profiles, I felt like I had done nothing. Most of them seemed to have perfect profiles with lots of certifications and jobs in well-known companies. It made me feel like ...
