"I've been trying to figure you out"
We were at a bar last night, well, a theatre bar, Soho Theatre bar to be exact. Possibly my favourite place in London, the only place I have left laced with over a decade of memories, the place that feels a bit like Home. And there we were sipping on frozen margaritas, about to watch a sell-out show by the FABULOUS Rosalie Minnitt: Clementine (link below if you fancy looking, some great clips online). And as we sipped I let slip that one of my biggest dreams was to have my poster on the wall in the Soho Theatre Bar, it's covered, absolutely covered with hundreds if not thousands of posters from shows over the last few decades, and everytime I go more shows are added, older ones peaking through, a gorgeous patchwork of comedy and theatre and odd little quirky or controversial shows that wouldn't have found a home anywhere else but there.

The Love Renaissance: What Gen Z's Relationships Reveal About Modern Connection
Are Gen Zers sabotaging the true essence of romance or redefining it? Or they simply might be building something more intentional, resilient, and emotionally intelligent than any generation before. Once upon a time, romance came with rules. Handwritten letters, carefully curated phone calls, and silent nods of the elderly were the foundational stance of old-school love. But now, emojis, dating apps, and Instagram reels document love stories.

10 Things I Like About Myself: The Playlist
Finding 10 things to like about oneself might feel like a daunting task. At first, I thought so when I considered entering this challenge, but then I realized rattling off a list of self-likes shouldn't be such an investigative process. It should be easy, right?

Feel
Many, and more than many, too many times I've wished I could stop feeling. But today, many months later, I find myself incredibly grateful for all the pain as well as all the joy. Because what would life be without the ability to feel? Like that of a bird flying free, or perhaps that of a lion crossing the plains...but how sad it is to be able to fly and not be able to stop and admire the beauty of the world, don't you think?
