I figured out the name for what I do about a month ago, when my therapist said the words "cycle of avoidance" and I felt caught. She wasn't even talking about my relationship, she was talking about my inbox. But it's the same thing. I avoid the hard conversation, I feel relief, the relief teaches me that avoiding…
running into my ex at a friend's party last Friday really threw me off balance. I had just begun breakup therapy, thinking I was making progress and starting to heal. but then seeing them again was like opening a wound that was still fresh. we hadn't seen each other since we decided to part ways last month, and the…
i cheated. it happened last month at a friend's party. i was a couple of drinks in and feeling a bit off that day. my partner, Sam, couldn't make it because of work, so i went alone. everything was going fine until this guy, Jake, started chatting with me. he was funny and charming, and i guess i got caught up in the…
I bet if I stopped messaging my friend, he would never message. I feel like I’m holding up scraps that aren’t meant to be fixed. I feel like I’m prolonging the inevitable. My friendships always end up like this. We talk a lot and then crickets. Until we finally drift apart.
Maybe I’m not cut out to have friends. How…
So I have this little dream that it’s growing inside of me and I don’t know if it’s too big to be true. A classmate made a similar path career as me, as a bilingual recruiter, and now he lives in another country as a coordinator and I was wondering if maybe in some seven or eight years I can do the same thing. And…

Going back to my younger years for a bit, I've heard that I didn't officially start talking until around three or four years of age—though my twin sister and I were still incredibly close. There are pictures of us watching cartoons as toddlers and playing together in the living room. My sister started speaking before…
I’m doing an exchange with a poet, I’ll be taking some classes with her and I’ll be illustrating her last poetry book. So I’m fucking excited for it so I was wondering if anyone have some recs to really capture the soul of the book. I’m truly excited for this achievement and I was having like this schedule, maybe the…
Ok so I have never typed this out anywhere, not even in my notes app. I have a phobia of men. Not the "I'm a little shy around guys" kind, an actual phobia, the kind where my hands go cold and I forget how to breathe normal. I'm 29, I work in accounts payable for a mid size logistics company, and for almost three…
alright so here's the deal. lately i've been noticing my mental health doing its own weird dance and honestly, it's getting real annoying. one day i'm feeling just fine, energy's up, focus is sharp... everything's in place. but then outta nowhere, BAM! a fog rolls into my brain and it sticks around like an unwanted…
they never knew , least of all my mother . they couldnt fathom that their affection didnt warm me . it colonized me . every embrace was a swarm of insects masquerading as tenderness , a slick , suffocating presence clinging to my skin tht no amount of scrubbing could wash away . they called it love . to me , it was a…
So here's the thing, I just found myself in this really weird situation. I've got this friend, right? We've been pals for ages!!! And yeah, he's straight. Like super straight. He's always talking about girls and sports and... well you get it. But then one day, we're hanging out at our usual spot and he says something…

I know how to deal with some of them. I’m not going into details. I just wanna know if one day they’re going to stop. The main reason it’s because november and december sometimes represents hard times for me. Those months were the beginning of a traumatic event.
I’m fine but from time to time they’re back and I…
So I've recently started this new gig in a marketing firm. Everything's pretty chill at the workplace, and while I'm thrilled with the responsibilities, there's this slightly awkward situation looming over me. There's a guy on my team, a coworker named Jake, who without an exaggeration has been texting me every single…
