The Group Chat Exposé
So, I’d been dating this guy named Shawn for about a year. Tall, smooth, fresh haircut every Friday, smelled like Dior Sauvage and bad decisions. You know the type. One of those guys who always has a vague job title like “consultant” but never explains what he actually does.

26 Years of Silence: The Love Story I Lived Alone
26 Years of Silence: The Love Story I Lived Alone They say love fades with time, but that’s not true. Some loves never fade. They just sit there — quietly, like a shadow — following you through the years, through every room, every season, and every moment of silence. That was the love I had. That is the love I still carry.

"The Bridesmaid and the Baby Daddy"
So, boom. My best friend Tina asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Cute, right? I was hype. We’d been friends since high school, and she was finally marrying this guy named Marcus—tall, quiet, successful, kind of fine in a “I pay my bills on time” kind of way. Tina had always said he was her calm in the storm.

"The Receipts Were in the Wings"
Let me tell you about the time I found out my boyfriend was cheating… because he forgot to delete a DoorDash receipt. So I was dating this guy named Darius. Fine, charming, said “Grand Rising” instead of good morning—which should’ve been my first red flag. But whatever, I was in my soft era and decided to give him a chance.

Somewhere, I Left My Mind
I used to remember everything. Names, dates, moments, dreams. I was the friend you could count on to recall what movie we watched ten years ago and what popcorn flavor we hated. I stored memories like they were precious, sorted neatly in labeled drawers. Now? The drawers are still there, but the labels have worn off. The contents? Scattered.

It is Inside Again/Take It From Me. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
These two poems are kinda the same, but also not. They show different sides of what I’ve been feeling lately. There’s this darkness that doesn’t go away—it just hangs around, even when I’m trying to be happy. I can laugh, I can smile, but that heavy feeling doesn’t leave. It’s always there, in the background.

A Heart Rewritten
I didn't know where to begin, so I started with myself........... Breaking up with someone with whom you wanted to live your whole life feels devastating. I could never love someone the way I loved him and I absolutely mean it. I cannot be that version of me again and I don't want to be either. I am afraid of keeping expectations because it breaks all the time. There is a plus side of not having expectations from anyone because when they do something good for you, you genuinely feel surprised. I can never love that passionately again. It brings out something dark from within me. I have built my emotions in such a way that nothing bothers me anymore. If someone disappears from my life, I won't be that affected. I might miss them but not so much. The things which are out of my hands, better not stress over it.

Who will be the next pope? Here are some possible candidates
RomeCNN — According to an old proverb, "he who enters the conclave as pope, leaves it as a cardinal" refers to papal elections. To put it another way, any candidate who is considered to be the front-runner prior to the start of the voting process ought to be treated with caution, and no cardinal ought to enter the Sistine Chapel assuming that they will win votes.
