yo, so I moved to this new city a few months back for work. was hoping things would pop off, like I'd meet all these cool people and just become a social butterfly or whatever... but man, gotta say it's been super lonely out here. most nights I'm just chilling by myself, doing nothing special. it kinda sucks missing…
My father—much like the therapist who accompanies him—is a failure when it comes to giving advice; he seeks to place me in a situation defined by his own prejudices. He operates under the belief that everything is determined by these prejudices and that nothing can be done about them. Consequently, he has never known…
I had to put a stop to it. My boss wanted to know everything about that young woman—who was being pressured by everyone to reveal information about others or to help him gain access to them. He had a habit of using young people to elicit pity and extract favors from others, by any means necessary. It was clear that…
So, I'm kinda freaking out. My family is smothering me with expectations that aren't even my own anymore and I'm stuck at this soul-sucking job. Ever since I read 'Eat, Pray, Love' (yeah not my proudest moment), I've been obsessively researching how to just vanish and start over like some secret agent. Apparently…
so, I've been rooming with this person for a while now and generally speaking, it's been pretty chill. like, we've had our fair share of typical roommate stuff – forgetting to take out the trash, leaving dishes in the sink – but nothing majorly serious. until I caught them doing something that really got under my…
ugh, so I’ve been like drowning in this whole “my career choice” drama with my parents. every convo turns into this epic battle, and honestly, I can't tell if I'm just being a brat or if there’s something way deeper happening here. they act all polite and understanding, but it feels like they’re stuck in some time…
I love my "almost something" so much. I feel like smiling EVERY time I'm near him. I love his smell, his curly hair, the freckles on his body, and his eyes. Oh my god, his eyes. Deep, gigantic, they devour me whole. I want to be by his side at all times, to share all the happiest things that happen to me. I want to…
working at a family-owned restaurant is like stepping into a sitcom where the laugh track is replaced by my uncle's yelling. seriously, I never thought I'd get yelled at so much by someone who's supposed to be family. I mean, come on, what happened to "family first"? instead, it's more like "yell at the youngest…
Life's been a barrage of challenges lately, and sometimes I find myself wondering if there's an end in sight. After losing my full-time job, I've had to take up multiple part-time positions just to keep things afloat. The constant cycle of juggling shifts has left me perpetually exhausted; sleep feels like a distant…
So I have this friend, an old coworker, and he told me to go out with our group of friends but he wrote to me first, I don’t wanna rush or see things that are not there. He’s a good friend but I don’t know. I have a group of friends, we’re 4 pals and we truly love and take care of each other. So maybe I don’t wanna…
ever felt like you can't hold onto anything good in your life? well, that's me. it's almost as if i have this innate talent for messing things up! and guess what: i'm fully aware. seems like every time something goes well, i sabotage it myself. take my relationships, for example. i constantly find myself drawn to…

Let's say I like a guy, but he always clarifies that he hasn't liked physical contact for a while. Back to the story: I was talking with a friend on a bench and I was looking at the second floor when out of nowhere he comes out with his group of friends and…
My mom went out of the country for a trip to Bali. She’s coming back today at 20:00, or 8 pm. She’s been texting me, saying how much she misses me and loves me but I just can’t reciprocate the feeling.
It’s not like I never loved her; I have before but it died the moment she chose our abuser over me. I guess I can…
so i found this random earring under the passenger seat in my girlfriend's car, and i'm trying to piece together where it came from. you know, like playing detective but with less cool gadgets. now, i’m not jumping to conclusions here, like some kind of relationship conspiracy theorist. it could belong to one of her…
I used to think I could keep my cool in stressful situations, but starting this new job has turned that idea upside down. The place is like a tornado of chaos, and while I kind of thrive in that whirlwind, it’s also got my brain racing like I’m in a car chase. Deadlines are looming like ominous clouds, and the…
