friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

The Night Everything Shifted
The Night Everything Shifted The night everything shifted did not announce itself. There was no thunder, no dramatic phone call, no moment that begged to be remembered. It arrived quietly, the way most real changes do—wearing the disguise of an ordinary evening.

I Love You to the Moon and Back
I recall those Valentine’s Days when I was single — there were many — where I felt that sting of loneliness and a sense of FOMO. During those years, I believed being adored by a man would help me validate my worth, without the comprehension that I needed to honour myself too.

Love Between Two Enemies Part Seven
The Cost of Saving Her Ethan Ashford became a ghost overnight. Not officially—his name was still on buildings, still whispered in financial circles—but something fundamental had shifted. The man who once walked into rooms and bent them to his will now moved through the city like someone marked.

Love Between Two Enemies Part Four
Secrets Don’t Stay Buried The photograph felt heavier than paper. Ethan stared at it under the dim light of his office, long after midnight had swallowed the city. Two men stood side by side, their hands clasped in a firm handshake—smiles restrained, eyes calculating.

When the Answers Don’t Come
When Daniel lost his brother, the first thing people told him was, “Everything happens for a reason.” They said it softly, with sympathy in their eyes, as if the sentence itself were a bandage. But every time Daniel heard it, something inside him tightened. He nodded politely, thanked them, and went home feeling more alone than before.

Love Between Two Enemies Part Two
Lines Drawn in Blood --- PART TWO – LINES DRAWN IN BLOOD Some wars were loud. They came with shouting, gunfire, headlines splashed across newspapers. Others were quieter—waged in boardrooms, whispered threats, contracts signed in ink that carried more poison than blood.

Love Between Two Enemies Part One
THE WAR WE INHERITED New York had a way of pretending it had no memory. Skyscrapers rose where scandals once burned, cafés thrived where blood had been spilled in boardrooms, and families like the Ashfords and the Morettis wore their success like polished armor, hiding decades of hatred beneath tailored suits.

Insecure People Try to Make Other People Insecure
Many insecure people cause other people to be insecure. How do they do this exactly? Insecure people can be very critical. Deep down inside, I think they feel the weight of their own insecurities, so they try to distract themselves by being critical of others. In a way, the spotlight is cast on others for just a little while, so that it eases the insecure person’s spinning anxieties.

It was a conversation after or First hege fight and at that moment I felt completely lost .So in the middle of this fight and trying to figure out where we misunderstood each other he said : “ look you are like this weed “ while pointing at it . “ It doesn’t matter how the ground is. You still decide to grow there and you are ambitious to make things work. I am like the plant over there . My ground is good ans it doesn’t really matter what I do- some things are more easy for me even if I don‘t have a plan or a goal“.

Signs Your Relationship Is Negatively Affecting Mental Health And Happiness
Constant emotional fatigue is one of the most indicative signs that a relationship is causing mental health problems. You feel exhausted after you communicated with your partner as opposed to being supported or energised. Constant tension, unfinished arguments or emotional vagaries can cause your mind to be in a state of alertness. The consequences of this chronic stress include a lack of focus, insomnia, and general mood. Once a relationship turns out to be a main cause of anxiety, but not a comfort, this is a warning of an unhealthy emotional balance that may gradually undermine the wellbeing of the mind and the happiness of the everyday.

Building Strong Relationships To Improve Mental Health And Emotional Stability
Connection and its Role in Emotional Wellbeing. Man is a social animal and good human beings are very important in keeping the emotional health state intact. Significant relationships give one a sense of belonging, which makes him/her feel important and comprehended. The sense of authentic connection makes people feel that they belong to a more stable emotional state, which diminishes loneliness and isolation. Such emotional stability enables people to face day to day issues with less fear and assuredness. With time, uninterrupted emotional attachment makes them resilient and builds a base of trust that helps to sustain mental health during a peaceful and difficult time.

The Impact Of Toxic Relationships On Mental Health And Selfesteem
Counseling on Toxic Relationships and Relationship Dynamics. Patterns of control, disrespect, emotional manipulation, or unceasing conflict are some of the characteristics of toxic relationships that lead to the loss of emotional safety. These dynamics end up leaving people exhausted, nervous, or disoriented as opposed to being supported unlike in healthy relationships. Criticism, gaslighting, neglect or mood swings that are hard to predict can be considered toxic behaviors and leave one person emotionally off balance. In the long run, such patterns become a normal part of life and a person finds it hard to realize that he/she is being hurt. This is a very destructive environment of constant emotional stress that causes harm to mental stability and general psychological wellbeing.
