Bad habits

The Shopping List. Top Story - April 2025.
Author’s Note: A shopping list might seem like a simple thing, but it often carries all the small balances we try to keep in life — between what we want, what we need, and what we dream of. This poem is a lighthearted reflection of my own everyday choices, sprinkled with a bit of humor and honesty.

The Weight of Tomorrow
The Weight of Tomorrow No one knew exactly when the city of Liora first began to dim. It happened slowly, like the silent falling of dust on an abandoned book.

We've all experienced it, or at least heard about it: the act of "ghosting." It's when someone we’re talking to, dating, or even working with just disappears without any warning or explanation.

" When Everyone Left Me, I Learned To Love Myself"

The Group Chat Exposé
So, I’d been dating this guy named Shawn for about a year. Tall, smooth, fresh haircut every Friday, smelled like Dior Sauvage and bad decisions. You know the type. One of those guys who always has a vague job title like “consultant” but never explains what he actually does.

"The Bridesmaid and the Baby Daddy"
So, boom. My best friend Tina asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding. Cute, right? I was hype. We’d been friends since high school, and she was finally marrying this guy named Marcus—tall, quiet, successful, kind of fine in a “I pay my bills on time” kind of way. Tina had always said he was her calm in the storm.
