If Your Relationship Isn't Gross, You're Not Having One
We hold romance in this weird high esteem. Everyone thinks romance is the greatest part of a relationship. If you were watching a movie or reading a romance book, romance is what we live for.

Influences and Inspirations
Hey Everybody! Thank you so much for checking out the stories and engaging with the world that I’m making. This has been super fun for me to experiment with writing creatively outside of the music space. After working so hard on these short fantasy stories, I wanted to take a step back and do a more personal exploration of where some of these ideas are coming from, some of my inspirations and some of the stuff that I really like. Some of these things I talk about in this post may not seem like they connect to the fantasy world of Randos I’m creating or my music but these are the things that I enjoy and make me who I am creatively on some level. Hope you guys enjoy this piece and I will get back to more fantasy content soon!

I'm Insecure About My Writing

Sunshine on Brown SkinPublished 6 months ago in HumansToo much spare time is just as dangerous as not having enough.
Those who drive themselves to exhaustion all day to get away from job, house, children, and chores, and never have time for themselves, are not much worse off than those who have all the time necessary (and even more.) to dedicate to one's passions, care for one's health and mind, and laze. It may appear unbelievable, but research backs it up.
Worrying is like holding an umbrella up in the sun, waiting for it to rain
And logically, that doesn’t make sense, right? Why does worrying feel normal and natural and needed? I saw this saying once and I didn’t get it but then when I noticed people around me like my mum and boyfriend worrying for no reason, I realised that I was doing the same and we’ve been conditioned to welcome worry and yet, when we are to compare it something like the analogy above, it doesn’t make sense as to why this is a done thing but it’s done every day by us, sometimes without us knowing we are. Remind yourself of this saying, it’s saved me from myself a lot.
Matthew GranthamPublished 6 months ago in HumansDo You Still Love Her?
“Do you still love her?” It was such a loaded question, and one for which I was not prepared to answer. I didn’t know what to say, couldn’t think of anything appropriate, so I decided to answer without a filter.

Don't Let Tinder Burn You
It's the age of technology and the impact has been felt in our romantic lives perhaps more than any other. We are more able to meet dozens, or even hundreds of people, very quickly, we're more likely to meet people far removed from our friend and family groups, and we're empowered to find people who really suit our lifestyle and preferences. Of course for every prince, or princess, online dating puts us in contact with there are hundreds of trolls, frogs, and grade-A boogeymen.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION
Have you ever had to stay awake for more than 18 hours? What about more than 24 hours? 36 hours? 3 days? What about an entire week? How do think you’d feel? How do you think you would be affected by it? I’m about to tell you how it has affected me when I’ve had to do it.
