On Love
April 27th, 2022 Love [1] Love – it encompasses so many aspects of our lives. It has so many different meanings, so many variations of the same thing. There is a version of the word in all languages around the world. In the Greek language, there are 8 separate terms for this one English word and they all mean different things. Philia is the word for a deep friendship, almost even like a term for soulmates. Storge is generally thought of as the love towards one's family — of a parents' love for their child and vice versa. Agape a unconditional love what I gave my first love, a love without condition... Mania is ‘obsessive love’, a type of love that can lead someone to anger or jealousy. There are more, but mania is one that I can only use to describe how my first ‘love’ was.

Modern Dating
As someone who has spent more of their life single than in a relationship I've just really been having some thoughts about the dating world, what it has become, and is there really any hope to fix it. I know that what works for one person might n0t work for someone else, but I wanted to share my thoughts on this incase anyone felt the same.

I feel more alone when I’m scrolling on my phone
What does it mean to be depressed and high-functioning? I learned in 2020, in the midst of feeling stuck in a cycle of overeating because I feel bad and then feeling bad for overeating, that I fell into the category of people who are sad yet can perform regular societal duties. I can keep a job, be social, go grocery shopping, take my dog out, make plans, keep plans (surprisingly), and check up on my friends and family. I could give a lot of myself and feel like my heart is so full, and at the same time feel deeply sad and empty. I was good at distracting myself with a Netflix binge or spending way too much money on dinner and drinks with a friend. I could be the funny one in the group I’m with, and later that same night curl up in a ball and cry myself to sleep.
