I was in a Toxic Relationship, with my Workplace
âYou got that?â My ex yelled. His hands were balled into fists at his side. At six foot three, he towered over me. A normal person would have been afraid, but I looked up a video of George Lopez repeatedly saying, âI got this,â and showed it to him. I had grown used to this treatment, so much so that I didnât blink when he ripped the phone from my hand and threw it across the room.

This Is What I Do When People Throw Rocks At Me
Rocks have been thrown at me for a greater part of my life. Some have been small and missed hitting me. When people don't get a reaction from me, they throw bigger rocks with a better aim. Many have been hurled at me with precision over the years. For a long time, I thought my only options were to dodge them or be crushed by them.

So I woke up on the morning of February 5, 2026 and guess what and you know what I realized? Itâs my 33rd birthday. Do you know what that means? Yes, technically Iâm getting old, but what I couldnât have guessed was this would be one of the best days of my life.

Lately, I'm empty
Lately, I feel an emptiness inside of me that doesnât make any sense. I was fine a week ago and now Iâm numb to the pain that Iâve been carrying around. Numb to the idea of me existing. I wish I could go to a place where I can hear happy positive thoughts and surround myself with joy. The medication Iâm on doesnât seem to work anymore. I still feel pain from existing, why am I here anyways? Merely to exist. I donât feel like Iâm making any differences being here.

The Piggy Project
Iâve had so many names in this life I lose track of which ones were ever really mine and which ones I wore because someone needed me to. Some were handed to me before I had words to refuse them, before I knew what they meant, before I knew I could say no. Most werenât meant to hurt. That doesnât mean they didnât leave marks. Marks that told me who I belong to, who I am by way of who claims me, recognizes me in the good and bad, who walks beside me.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." â Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.

Ghosting In Dating Culture Causes Emotional Confusion And Trust Issues
Ghosting is the abrupt and total disappearance of one party of a dating relationship with no explanation of the other party. Ghosting does not offer any closure unlike a breakup or a deliberate disengagement and leaves it vague whether the relationship is dead or not. Ghosting has become more prevalent in the contemporary dating environment, dominated by apps and marked by fast-paced living, with social media networks offering an excellent opportunity to evade responsibility and often unnoticed. To the victims, ghosting causes emotional perplexity and usually an overthinking of the relationship since not communicating with the ghost leaves a person with the gaps to fill in their mind.

Benching In Relationships Why Some People Keep Backup Dating Options
Benching is a dating habit in which an individual has a low level of relation with a partner- keeping them as an emergency meet- when pursuing other love relationships. The practice also gives the bencher the opportunity not to commit fully to one partner thus having the feeling of security and emotional insurance. Generally, the person on the bench is given sporadic attention, such as the occasional exchange of texts or social media presence, so that they do not form a definite relationship. Singles need to be aware of the concept of benching because it helps them avoid spending time emotionally invested in their relationships that never advance to meaningful and committed relationships.

Breadcrumbing In Dating How To Recognize And Protect Your Emotions
Breadcrumbling is a contemporary dating practice where an individual displays episodic, slight attention to another such as periodic texts, likes on a social media platform, or a polite comment without making any commitment to a real relationship. This habit makes the recipient emotionally attached and detached at the same time. Breadcrumbing makes use of the psychological need to be connected to people as it delivers little bits of validation to ensure there is an interest but without the feelings of real affection. In the case of singles, such a pattern is important to notice, as it might give rise to self-esteem erosion over time and cause a tangle of emotions that will be difficult to get out of in a digital dating culture where attention is perceived as rare and priced so highly.

Why Situationships Are Becoming Popular Among Gen Z Dating Culture
Situationships are romantic or emotional relationships, which are not defined or labeled in a traditional way. They are in a grey area where people can be intimate and companionship exists without them stating how they are bonded together as compared to committed relationships. To Gen Z, this idea is a move towards the break of the strict dating framework. Instead of branding a connection on the first date, most people choose to learn more about compatibility and emotional chemistry. This method enables the relationships to be natural, that is, people are free to learn their feelings without the stress of being expected by the society to have certain feelings or roles that they are expected to follow.

Millennials Learning New Dating Skills Through Digital Relationship Platforms
Online relationship websites have also redefined the process of dating among the millennials changing their dating behavior, which was based on chance, to the current premeditated, technology-oriented dating. Apps and websites have become the main meeting places, which provide an opportunity to access a broader scope of prospective partners than ever before. This transformation has motivated millennial individuals to reconsider the conventional dating patterns and readjust themselves to new communication. Swiping, matching and messaging have become the new requirements and individuals need to make a good impression in a highly competitive and quick digital world that demands clarity and authenticity in users.

Psychology Principles Helping Singles Build Authentic And Meaningful Romantic Connections
One of the most valuable psychological principles to have in the establishment of meaningful romantic relationships is self-awareness. It deals with knowing your values, triggers, attachment pattern, and needs. Single people who take time to understand themselves are more deliberate about the type of person they are interested in. This understanding eliminates the chances of getting into relationships due to loneliness or due to pressure. Rather, people go into dating with a goal, and it becomes possible to see compatibility and avoid relationships that do not correspond to their future emotional health and personal development.

Ways To Nourish The Soul
No one matters. Children or young people out there, you will learn this later, but it's better to learn this now, is self-confidence. It does not matter what anyone thinks of you. What does matter is what your parents think of you, what your best friend only thinks of you, what your siblings think of you, and what you think of yourself. There's maybe like five people on that list. No one matters. Your happiness is in your own hands. You cannot get it from anywhere else. Only you have the power. Remember to be kind. Be the one that is the savior of the bullies. Be the one that is confident to go without makeup somewhere or didn't get time to dress up and go to a party. Enjoy the moment. Don't care about what you're wearing and who thinks what you are because I swear to God when you're older, you'll be like, what was I doing? You have your whole life to be a grown-up. Enjoy being young. Enjoy being silly. Enjoy not getting dressed and makeup. Spend time in nature. Take up a sport. You must play a sport, an instrument, and teach the adults who have missed out on that life because your adults did live that life, but they've also gotten into this Insta life and this like technological life. So you kids remind your parents, hey, come on, let's go to the beach. Let's go to the mountains. Let's do some nature activities. Go spend time in charities. Give your time to charity. Go to SOS village. Go give your time to underprivileged kids. These are all really nourishing for your soul and you will be so happy that you did this because at the end, peace and happiness is all you want. So find that within yourself and never care about what anyone thinks of you. Be kind, be honest, and have fun.

Gen Z Prioritizing Emotional Safety Over Traditional Relationship Labels Today
To most youths in the modern world, relationships no longer have strict labels such as boy friend, girlfriend, and partner. Gen Z is instead putting an emphasis on the feeling of a relationship and not its classification. Emotional safety-being respected, listened to and valued- has entered into a modern day relationship. This trend is not an isolated cultural change, but it is a part of the larger trend of focusing more on authenticity since people are more interested in inner consistency than in social conformity. Gen Z are not in a big hurry to define a relationship, as they tend to allow the relationship to develop naturally to see what their emotional needs are prior to this.
