The Rise of Video Dating: Tips to Shine on Virtual Dates. AI-Generated.
I’ll be honest—when I first heard about video dating, I wasn’t convinced. The idea of sitting in front of a screen and trying to build a romantic connection through a webcam felt a bit awkward. I missed the vibe of in-person dates: the subtle body language, the shared laughs over coffee, the spontaneous moments you can’t quite recreate through a screen. But like many of us, I had to adapt. And surprisingly, I found that video dating didn’t just fill a gap—it brought something new and refreshing to the table.

Living with Anxiety: What I Wish People Understood About Me
I. The Face I Show, and the Storm Inside If you met me on the street, you'd probably think I’m doing okay. I smile. I make jokes. I go to work or school. I show up.

The Stranger Who Knew My Name
I was sitting alone at Gate 12, nervously bouncing my leg, waiting for a delayed flight to Seattle. It was one of those gray, overcast days where everything felt off. The airport buzzed with chatter, rolling luggage, and distant flight announcements, but I felt completely detached—like I was watching the world from behind glass.

Unspoken
I’ve always believed that the most powerful stories are the ones no one ever hears. They live quietly, tucked inside us — in half-written journals, in unfinished letters, in the moments when we stare at the ceiling and wonder what if. They never make it to stages or bookshelves. They don’t go viral. But they shape us more than any story we tell out loud.

The Firefly That Refused to Fade
Story: On the edge of a quiet village, nestled in tall blades of grass, lived a firefly unlike any other.

Evenings I Don’t Live, But Feel
I don’t quite know what it is about the evening, but every time it arrives—especially when the weather turns gentle and the sky takes on that soft golden hue—something stirs quietly inside me. There's a kind of magic in those dusky hours, something almost sacred. The world seems to slow down, stretch itself out, and exhale. And in that pause, I often find myself longing to step outside alone—not for anything grand, but simply to walk beneath the open sky, to breathe in the evening air, to be one with the silence.

How Do Older Women Feel About Dating Younger Men?
I never set out to become the “older woman.” In fact, when I first turned forty, the idea of dating someone more than a few years younger than me felt laughable, even a little cringe. I had this mental image, burned into my head by movies and messy internet discourse, of women my age chasing youth in desperation, trying to cling to relevance by borrowing someone else’s. And yet, here I am at 45, freshly showered and standing in my kitchen while a 29-year-old man flips pancakes and sings along to some indie band I’ve never heard of.
