On collective power, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet hope that humanity remembers itself. Alright, this is gonna hit a bit differently. I just finished watching The Greatest Night in Pop on Netflix, and honestly… I am not able to stop thinking about it. I clicked on it after seeing a glimpse of Michael Jackson in the teaser, and considering my ongoing obsession with him, I thought let’s just see what this is about. And man, let me tell ya, it. did. not. miss! Not just bec

There is a Beginning and There is an End. A kiss on the forehead can be the kiss of death or a sign of love, signifying a beginning or an end. In life, the only guarantee is that it will one day end. This season of Euphoria was alleged to be the last, though it remained shrouded in ambiguity about whether it truly would be or not. After watching the finale, filled with beginnings and endings, it feels clear that the end of the series has come. For a multitude of reasons, I’m

Recently, I was scrolling on TikTok and one of my favorite influencers, Samantha Reihl, said this quote: “I’ve never met a man cooler than me. When I do, I’m going to marry him.” Samantha has spent the last year really turning toward herself, becoming the woman she wants to be, and filling her life with the things she wants to do before her life partner arrives. This quote probably couldn’t have come at a better time for the place I’m at in my twenties, trying to practice sel

I watched Off Campus the way many people did: convinced I would take my time, savour every episode, be responsible and measured about it. Instead, I inhaled all eight episodes in one sitting. Night and day blurred together, emotional stability disappeared, and by the finale, yes, as a millennial, a hopeless romantic, and someone who relates far too deeply, I shed some tears. Not because the show ended. But because Off Campus did something that has become surprisingly rare in

There are few things more dangerous than a woman who knows exactly what she should do and decides, with full awareness and unsettling confidence, to do the opposite. Not because she lacks intelligence, not because she hasn’t analysed every angle, replayed every conversation, consulted friends, journaled, overthought, and constructed a detailed psychological profile of everyone involved. But because sometimes logic enters the room, presents its findings, and desire simply says

It has only been a few months since I walked away from a two-year relationship. While I was in it, the sentence I heard most frequently was how I had managed to stay with someone for so long “in this day and age.” What was truly bizarre was this: aside from my therapist, not a single person ever asked whether I was actually happy in that relationship. Everyone was hyper-focused on my “success” in sustaining a long-term bond, observing me as though I were some kind of endanger

The Tumblr generation did not disappear, it grew up and became the people creating culture. The photographers, creative directors, and visual architects behind the images shaping fashion, music, beauty, and internet aesthetics today. Anna Koblish is one of them. With a visual language rooted in Tumblr-era romanticism, Hollywood glamour, pop culture, makeup artistry, and the hyper-curated aesthetics that raised an online generation, Koblish has built a world distinctly her own

I have been thinking about the way I am with others and the way I am with myself. I feel like I can never be truly myself with others. Like I have to suppress a little of myself to fit in with their personalities. Then, I realized that it might not be a bad thing after all. Maybe I’d like to keep some of my interests only to myself. Everyone has their own hobbies, their own obsessions, and their own small ideas. We all have rituals and habits that make us who we are, that mak

When platforms like Instagram and LinkedIn put everyone’s success on display, it seems like it’s only the girls with thousands of followers, the guy with a dad in the industry, and the folks with enough money to spare who are making their dreams happen. If they’re the ones dominating, is there room for the rest of us to succeed? Absolutely, yes. But the key to personal success includes a secret ingredient: “delusional” confidence. Confidence is home-grown. Your confidence is
