I twiddled with my messy bun and the new hair sprouting from my chin as I pondered intimacy, and the extreme lack of it, whilst chilling in yet another pair of joggers. There was a certain type of loneliness that had set in, triggered by old Snapchat memories and a good aul craving for a […]
There I was, cuddled up in my dressing gown, tea half-finished, mouth completely full of my third Aldi Jive bar, period pain haunting me like a fuckboy when he realises you might be moving on. I was 40 minutes into an in-depth analysis of my taste in men and contemplating deleting Tinder… again. Grim times. […]
I was lost somewhere within that “Huh?” phase after we had ended. I had gone back over the last conversation so many times I could recite is as if it was my comfort tv show. It wasn’t just me, I had dragged the girls into it too. None of us knew what had brought us […]
Timing. There are times when I know that it is everything, and other times when I wonder if it truly means anything. Time changes things, it evolves emotions, and I often wonder how it has transformed those I once knew best. If we could bring our past into our future, would the feelings come with […]
Sometimes you can fall into a boyband abyss, okay, actually fairly often. Especially if your heart feels a little all over the place. The lyrics lure us in, resonate with every emotion and have us asking: “Is this what he is thinking right now?” Just me? Or are we all judging the hidden emotions of […]
I felt stuck, somewhere between familiar chaos and the complete unknown, there I was. My heart felt scattered, pulled from possibility to familiarity. It wasn’t straight forward or simple, it was every “Is he?” and “Should I?” Digging into a new box of Pringles, I pondered it all. Where were the ex-lovers? Who are the […]
“You and I have always had a connection” he says, smiling at me as if he had missed me. Somehow, so far into the confusion of the on and off situationship that was us, this was a statement I couldn’t argue with. It wasn’t romanticised charm, it was the truth. A truth I had told […]
Ah, men. Some a fleeting moment, some leave such an impact you’re picking their name out of your conversations for years to come. It’s just how that love game goes, some men are tops you’ll wear once on a night out, others are investments. You know the guy, he’s that coat that doesn’t fit anymore […]
Fuckboys love to take their uncertainty out on us, like let me just act SO WEIRD for a few days now since we got very close there for a while. Errr, my memory isn’t that bad mate, I do remember the outpour of emotions and compliments I received from you… ON TUESDAY. You may at […]
Isn’t it a strange thing to realise that he has all the answers you’re searching for? We spend so much time wondering what he’s thinking, if he ever thinks about us, we analyse it with the gals until a mountain is truly made out of a molehill… and the thing is, he bloody knows. Allll […]
Time is a funny thing, it can create all this distance and not knowing between people, yet you can find something, see something or hear something that just suddenly brings you straight back to a certain moment. When you dwell in that place, it brings a sense of ease, it’s untouched, as if the ocean […]
When you have three twenty-something women sitting around a table, chances are there’s often going to be three twenty-something men to analyse. One is inconsistent with a supposedly crazy ex, another is a lovely guy who is just SO busy, and the last is a familiar fuckboy who just really might be different this time. […]
I was certain, so certain that there were many women out there planning weddings to the love of their life, deeply pondering flower choices, while I asked myself, once again, why men bother messaging me on Tinder only to not reply after four messages. Does the spark die when I tell them how I’m doing? […]
We stood under a Springtime night sky, frozen in a completely ordinary moment. I looked at him, was I naive to believe this time would be any different? Had our history burdened us so much that we would always be doomed for chaos? Sometimes we can romanticise relationships so much that we see them for […]
Ex-anxiety, or almost-ex anxiety, anyone relate? Like when you cared about someone so much you have to totally detox your life and social media of them for the sake of your own sanity? From my own experiences with this, I think it occurs when they really meant something to you or changed your life in […]
Nothing burdens modern relationships quite like pride. Timing texts, not texting first, choosing when to reply. There are all these cyber waves of uncertainty that mask our emotions, and we are all just desperately seeking a subtle and low-key way to say: “I like you” with the effortless added romance of a classic romcom. I […]
