The Romanticised and Demonised Version of Your Situationship – Why Perceptions Swing Between Extremes and How to Stop It

She was all about him yesterday—they even have a date next week. But suddenly, she says, “I just don’t know about him. I just don’t think my future husband would use emojis, and I feel like if he was actually nice and if I really liked him, I wouldn’t feel this way.”

Silliness, A Dying Art
Silliness, A Dying Art

Sometimes it’s good to sit back and think about whether something really is so serious? When you reach your old age, I doubt you will be looking back and thinking “Wow, I’m really glad I never spoke to any of my co-workers and got really good at Excel.”

You’ve Got “Love” All Wrong
You’ve Got “Love” All Wrong

Love is in the small things, the everyday moments, the people who make you laugh until your stomach hurts.  YOU  have love! An abundance of it, you just have to pause long enough to notice it.

Love Languages & Showing That You Care
Love Languages & Showing That You Care

Love languages or not, enjoy showing the people around you that you love them this week and going forwards, whether that be taking a bunch of flowers to their doorstep, or having a chilled movie night in!

Why Dating Apps Don’t Work, and Why You are Part of the Problem

Oh, and if the only time you are swiping is whilst you’re hungover in a desperate search for some sort of dopamine, this is probably part of the  problem too (it’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me).

The Invisible String: How Music Connects Us to Emotion, Memory, and Love
The Invisible String: How Music Connects Us to Emotion, Memory, and Love

Artists such as Hozier and Fleet Foxes open the door to a log cabin on a rainy day, and place a warm coffee in my hand. Other artists such as Led Zeppelin or Fleetwood Mac place heeled, cowboy boots on my feet and send me dancing to my nearest bar with a fluffy jacket on my shoulders.

TikTok’s wrong — You Don’t Need To Be “wifey material” In Your Twenties (Or Ever)
TikTok’s wrong — You Don’t Need To Be “wifey material” In Your Twenties (Or Ever)

What I’m trying to say is that, what makes you ‘wife material’ isn’t you saying at home and cooking for your boyfriend; if that is what you enjoy and what YOU want to do, then go ahead! Save me a plate too please!

The Season Of The 'Lock-In' & Why We Could Be Failing
The Season Of The 'Lock-In' & Why We Could Be Failing

You could be ‘locked in’: headphones on, noise-cancelling switched on, actually understanding what you’re studying… but it really only takes one glance between your friends, one minuscule moment of being ‘locked-out’ to give up.

The Illusion of ‘Another Life’: Why It’s Harmful to Hold On
The Illusion of ‘Another Life’: Why It’s Harmful to Hold On

Loving an old version of someone is not a resurrection; it’s a one-sided devotion. It will never bring back what you want them to be or create what you long for them to represent. To live in the past is to love a ghost—and ghosts can never hold you.

Monogamy, Modern Dating, and the Myth of ‘Seeing Where It Goes’
Monogamy, Modern Dating, and the Myth of ‘Seeing Where It Goes’

Are men in their twenties the new designer drug? Because, if I’m honest, my friends and I were all recreational users.

No no no no don’t stop reading!!! I promise this has a happy ending and won’t add to your amalgamating stress which already includes whether a career in fashion could financially support you, allow you to ever have a social life, is actually even possible, etc etc.

Petite Pain: The Problematic Reality of Being a 5ft4 or Shorter Female, and Where to Find Clothes that Fit.

Smash or Pass: Grammy Edition
Smash or Pass: Grammy Edition
