friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
When You Finally Experience a Love That Feels Safe
When a person has a safe love the first time it can be life changing. Safe love is a relief into a stable cool world after previous heartbreaks or emotional turbulence. You are no longer worried that you will be left alone or misinterpreted. Rather, you are stable in a relationship that is peaceful and not violent. This transformation helps you to unwind into love without any fear.

Not Every Work Friend Is Meant To Be A Forever Friend
Relationships fade. Some slowly, some abruptly, and some in ways that leave you questioning how you ever let the wrong people so close. I have always been a positive person who builds deep connections quickly. Over the years, through school and a decade of shifting workplaces, I’ve met people who felt like lifelong friends. Working with someone every day can blur into something that feels rooted, meaningful, and hard to let go of.

We spend most of our lives preparing for the big moments, the celebrations, the milestones, the loud chapters we expect to remember forever. But no one prepares you for the quiet disappearances.

The Racism You’re Not Supposed to Talk About:
For a community that prides itself on rainbows, love, and “chosen family,” the gay world has a very real, very ugly secret: racism is baked into its culture more deeply than most are willing to admit. People love to chant “love is love” at Pride, but scroll through Grindr for five minutes, walk into a club in a major gay city, or look at who gets put on magazine covers, and you’ll see how conditional that love actually is.

When You Feel Fully Chosen for the First Time
Being wanted is one thing, but being chosen is another. Temporarily, being desired may be made depending on convenience or want. But being elected is knowing, profound and consistent. It gives one a sense of emotional security, which they might never have before when the person picks you completely. It is stabilizing, reassuring, and revolutionizing.

Why Real Commitment Is Built, Not Begged For
You cannot make a person commit something when they are not real. It is natural when two individuals select one another willingly. When commitment is real, it follows the emotional preparedness, common values, and the mutual respect, but not any of the factor of begging, convincing, and pleading. Pressure can bring short term compliance but will never establish enduring loyalty.

How to Stop Playing Games and Start Being Genuine
Games in relations can be fun at first sight, but this is soon proven to be emotionally exhausting. Faking indifference, concealing motives, or switch backing is a waste of time in the spotlight. The result of this behavior is confusion and lack of connection and thus it is hard to build trust. The act is ultimately tiring and unbearable. Temporary victories lose their importance to the need of something real.

Rather than splitting a couple, tough communication may provide a sense of clarity in the feelings of the partners that can help to strengthen the relationship.
