How Dating Shapes The Way We Fall In Love
The emergence of internet dating has literally changed the way individuals get to know, socialize and fall in love.

This movement has transformed not only the dating process but also the way people feel, the style of communication, and the experience of building romantic relationships.

Attachment vs. Attraction: Why We Fall For Certain People
Romantic relationships are usually initiated with a strong feeling of attraction which is what holds the people together at a personal level but what makes them remain attached is that of attachment. These two forces are different but closely related. Attraction can be instant, strong and based on chemistry whereas attachment is slower and influenced by emotional attachment, historical events and psychological tendencies.

Why Emotional Intelligence Is The Most Important Romantic Skill
Emotional intelligence has emerged as the foundation of healthy and sustainable romantic relationships in the changing relationship landscape in the current times. Attraction, similar interests and compatibility are crucial, but they are not sufficient to make the relationship meaningful in the long run. It is the ability of people to comprehend, handle, and react to emotions, their own and those of their partners, which is what actually makes the difference between the success and the success of a partnership.

I Read My Dead Mother's Diary 📖
THE BOX IN THE ATTIC 📦 Six months after my mother's death from pancreatic cancer I finally gathered the courage to sort through her belongings, a task I had been avoiding because touching her things made her absence concrete in ways that simply knowing she was gone did not, and in a box in the attic labeled "personal" in her careful handwriting I found seven leather-bound journals spanning from 1987 to 2019, thirty-two years of daily entries that documented her inner life with a honesty and depth that she never displayed in conversation with me or anyone else in the family, and I sat on the attic floor surrounded by dust and old furniture and read my mother's secret thoughts and discovered that the woman who raised me was not the person I believed her to be 😢

The Playlist He Made
How a Stranger's Music Healed What Therapy Couldn't TRACK ONE: THE DISCOVERY The playlist appeared on my Spotify account on a Wednesday afternoon six weeks after my divorce was finalized, a collection of thirty-seven songs titled "For the Girl Who Forgot How to Sing" shared by a user whose profile name was just the letter M and whose avatar was a photograph of a piano in an empty room, and I did not know anyone with this profile and I almost deleted it as spam except that the first song on the list was "Skinny Love" by Bon Iver which was my favorite song, a song I had listened to on repeat during the worst nights of my failing marriage when I would sit in my car in the driveway unable to go inside because the silence between my husband and me had become more threatening than the loneliness of the car, and the odds of a random spammer choosing this specific song as the opener of a playlist addressed to a girl who forgot how to sing seemed too coincidental to dismiss.
