The Community Garden
Leo, a quiet man who found more solace in the soil than in human conversation, spent most of his evenings tending his plot at the community garden. His hands, calloused and earthy, created beauty from barren ground, but his heart remained a tangled mess of unexpressed feelings. For years, he had carried a secret, a small act of betrayal against his childhood friend, Maya, that had festered into a deep-seated regret. He’d never confessed, and the silence between them had grown into an uncomfortable chasm.

The Unsent Letter
Eleanor lived a life meticulously constructed around unspoken truths. Her art, vibrant and expressive, was the only place where her true feelings dared to surface, a stark contrast to the calm, composed exterior she presented to the world. A successful architect, she designed buildings that soared, yet her own emotional foundations felt perpetually shaky, built on a secret she had carried since her youth.

A Letter to My Future Self, Written in Tears
Dear Future Me, If you're reading this, it means you’ve made it—through the kind of night that doesn’t end at sunrise. Through pain that twisted itself so deep into your chest, you forgot what it felt like to breathe without hurting. You’ve survived, and I want to say something you may not hear often enough: I’m proud of you.

WMYHUSWAH. Content Warning.
Hino. A last name so common it doesn’t register much thought to many people. To me, that last name was my world for five months. Compared to a lifetime, five months may be absolutely nothing, but six years later and here we are writing an essay about it. WMYHUSWAH (What Made You Have Unprotected Sex With A Hino)? The question was originally presented as a lighthearted joke to ease the tension of some horrible past mistakes. It is now a staple to the Goo Goo Dolls song, “Iris.” At first, my chest filled with laughter, but I never thought of an actual answer in a respectful manner. Why did I do it? Let’s travel back to the 2018 Rachel mindset. This man, dare I say his name, my dearest Jonah, was my dark knight wrapped in a cape ready to save the day. My dearest Jonah was a passionate man who expressed interest in the hobbies I really cared about, was a great performer in bed, and foolishly discussed having a future with me.

Can You Be in Love With Someone Who Never Loved You Back?. AI-Generated.
The First Time I Saw Him I still remember the first time I noticed Ayan. He wasn’t loud or trying to be the center of attention — he just had this quiet, calm energy that made you feel safe. We were in the same literature class. He raised his hand to talk about a poem one day, and the way he spoke, like he really felt the words… it stayed with me. He didn’t just understand things — he saw them, in the kind of way most people miss.

How to Write a Standout Dating Profile: What Behavioral Science—and Real-Life Experience—Taught Me. AI-Generated.
When I first dipped my toes into online dating, I made a classic mistake: I treated my bio like an afterthought. I leaned on generic lines, tossed in a few buzzwords, and hoped my best photos would carry the weight. Spoiler alert—they didn’t.

I Judged Someone Too Quickly—and I Was Totally Wrong
We judge people all the time, often without realizing it. A glance, a tone of voice, a facial expression—we take fragments of a person and create a story in our minds. I used to think I was particularly skilled at reading people. I relied on intuition, on my gut, and I was confident that I could assess someone’s character within moments of meeting them. That belief came crashing down the day I judged someone too quickly—and learned just how wrong I could be.
