Every once in a while, things we like go stale and we get sick of them. That is the case with food, hobbies, and of course, our relationships. We don’t even have to be displeased with our partners, but sometimes we just need something fresh and new, and they can’t give it to us themselves, […]
I always thought “settling down” was a euphemism. It meant nesting and discovering the pleasures of Saturday nights on the couch, cuddling in sweatpants. And it does mean that a little bit. But in my case, “settling down” has meant literally calming down. The parts of me that were more spontaneous and manic, quick to respond and […]

I’m a hopeless romantic, but in the last six months, I’ve had a drastic shift in what love means to me. I’ve let go of the idea that love is an intense and demanding force. It doesn’t need all of my attention and it doesn’t mean things have to happen “now or never.” I’ve learned […]
