All our lives, we are taught to think about accomplishment lists: what we achieved, what we built, what we succeeded at. The list grows year after year, stretching further into the future, until it almost feels as though we are meant to keep building it even on our deathbeds, as if we should somehow accomplish a peaceful death as well. But how can something feel peaceful or meaningful when life always feels like it’s running? When it’s constantly moving toward the next task,

As children, making friends is effortless. You approach someone, ask, “Do you want to be my friend?”, and a simple “yes” can turn into a lifelong relationship. Adulthood, on the other hand, is often sold as something sleek and efficient. The movies we grew up watching did not help either. An English TV broadcaster who finds the love of her life, a columnist who somehow can afford a beautiful apartment in the center of Manhattan along with forty thousand dollars’ worth of shoe

I chose not to watch the livestream of the Met Gala this year. I’m still going to critique it, but I want to make it clear that I do not support a Jeff Bezos–sponsored Met Gala. He has amassed a fortune off the suffering of others and their financial desperation. That, hunny, is just downright cheap. I believe the arts need more funding, that the Met Gala should continue, and that The Metropolitan Museum of Art deserves to host events that honor the great work of artists. How

“People love to argue about the truth. Some say it’s just the facts. Others say it’s what’s right. Some even claim there’s no real truth at all, just opinions. The funny thing is, while we may disagree about what the truth is, we all know when we’re telling a lie.” It can be incredibly difficult to determine what the truth is in today’s world. With the rise of AI, disingenuous politicians, and widespread scams, trust feels increasingly fragile. It’s hard to know what’s safe o

Behind the legend was a life shaped by pressure, loneliness, and a level of discipline few will ever understand. There’s something about watching a story you think you already know… And realising you never really understood it… That’s what Michael did for me. We’ve all grown up with some version of Michael Jackson, the legend, the headlines, the performances, the mythology. But this film doesn’t just revisit the icon. It slows things down, it lingers, it lets you sit in the s

Being pretty was once considered rare, a title not given so freely. Bluntly, it was exclusive and earned. Once you had it, you were respected, given opportunities, and seen as an international muse for years to come. Before the digital wave took over the world, beauty felt like winning the lottery. Appearing in perfume ads and fashion magazines, shot by some of the most talented photographers, was part of the prize. You were seen as a figure of inspiration, someone who encour

Not every career move is planned, and in Brittny Button’s case, that’s exactly what made it work. After spending years in the modeling world, her shift into interior design didn’t come from a structured plan, but from instinct, taste, and a lifelong exposure to homes, renovation, and design through her family. What started as a personal project quickly turned into something much bigger. Her first renovation, a Palm Springs property she found on Facebook Marketplace, became a

When the first episodes of Euphoria season 3 dropped, critics did not hold back: “torture porn” ,“one man’s creepy, sex-obsessed fantasy”,“a series with very little to say.” Viewers who had loved the show since 2019 felt something had shifted, and not in the direction they hoped. The female characters feel staged, positioned, consumed by the camera in ways that feel less like storytelling and more like fixation. Watching them, I kept thinking about an archetype that’s been mi

When I spoke to Caroline , it didn’t feel like a typical interview. It felt more like sitting across from someone who is right in the middle of becoming, Not finished, not certain, but open to the world. There is something very honest about that stage of life, and you don’t always hear it spoken out loud. Caroline is 22, soon 23, and she doesn’t have everything figured out. “I have no idea what’s going to happen,” She tells me, almost lightly. But the way she says it doesn’
