Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.

I’m Not a Gift, but I Want a Gift
The screen washed her face in blue light. Marta scrolled through profiles like trading cards: the awkward ones—swipe left; the loudmouths with barroom grins—swipe left; the “I like sunsets and the sea” types—swipe left.

I’m Not Young Anymore—And That’s a Strange Kind of Freedom
I used to think that youth was freedom. The late nights, the endless possibilities, the sense that life was still unwritten—it all felt intoxicating. But with it came a weight I didn’t recognize at the time: the constant pressure to prove myself, to chase after the next milestone, to look the part, to stay relevant.

I Forgave Everyone Who Hurt Me—Except Myself
Forgiveness is something people talk about like it’s simple. Just let it go, they say. Free yourself from the weight of anger, resentment, and pain. I tried to live by that advice. I gave forgiveness freely to those who betrayed me, left me, lied to me, and broke me in ways I didn’t think I could recover from. And in many ways, it worked. The bitterness I once carried toward others loosened its grip on me.

The Stranger Who Saved My Life Without Knowing It
Story It was a gray Thursday morning, the kind where the sky presses low and heavy against the shoulders. I had walked the same route for weeks, tracing cracks in the sidewalk like a ritual, feeling the weight of decisions I thought I could no longer carry.

Beneath the hush of twilight’s glow, Where gentle winds of evening flow, I find your gaze, a tender flame, That whispers softly, calls my name.

Holding it Together at Work – Should We?
When Rachel Reeves cried in Parliament this week, it wasn’t a political moment. It was a human one. It was the visible cracking of a nervous system under immense pressure — and it hit a nerve with so many of us because we’ve been there. We’ve held it in until we couldn’t. We’ve broken in private. And sometimes, we’ve broken in public.

What If Love Is Just Friendship That Lasts?
In adulthood, one of the first and most difficult lessons I have had to accept is that friendships eventually drift apart. It happens undeniably, and it hurts. I have been through it. The ending is never sudden. It is slow, almost painful in its pace. It usually starts with the joy of the first spark. In the beginning, there is that thrill of discovery, the getting-to-know-each-other stage. You share bits of yourself, details of your present life, hoping they will resonate. What kind of music do you like? Have you listened to this artist? It reminded me of you. There are daily conversations about the most ordinary things. A random Facebook post. A TikTok. A loud argument on Twitter. Have you heard about that actor? Let’s buy matching jackets. Let’s visit that café sometime.

I thought once I left my verbally, bordering on physically, abusive first marriage in 2003 that I would never again fall victim to such things. Unfortunately for me, abuse comes in many forms and taking care of my mental health was an important detail that I overlooked due to society making me think something was wrong with me. Unfortunately, abuse reared its ugly head in different forms.

Introduction: When Love Turns Into Pain We expect strangers to hurt us. We expect disappointments from life. But we never expect the people we love the most to be the ones holding the sharpest knives.
