selfcare
The importance of self-care is paramount; enhance your health and wellbeing, manage your stress, and maintain control under pressure.
Once A Child . Content Warning.
From the moment we open our eyes—crying in a cold, sterile hospital— the conditions of love begin to blossom. Living and growing in our mother’s bellies only holds a safe place for nearly a year before we were quite literally ejected into chaos we didn’t ask for. From that point on there are conditions to the amount of love and respect we receive. From birth when we are “good babies” in the nursery, the nurses praise us for our cooperation, whereas fussy babies, while still looked at as precious cute creations, are deemed more difficult. Though this example is rather vague and lacks depth into the true meaning of conditional love, it is a pivotal reminder of how we enter and leave this world. Alone.

Facebook Was My Safe Place—Until It Became a Memory Trap
For most of my twenties, Facebook felt like home. It was where I documented everything that mattered. Birthday dinners, weekend getaways, friend drama (with vague statuses, of course), inside jokes, heartbreaks, and rebounds. It was my personal archive, my social stage, my comfort scroll.

Surrounded Yet Invisible: The Loneliest I’ve Ever Been Wasn't When I Was Alone
I used to think loneliness only looked like empty rooms and unanswered texts. I thought it meant quiet Friday nights, vacant seats across the dinner table, or crying into your pillow at 2 a.m. because no one thought to check on you.

How to Maintain Attachment While Living Together
Even though we share a bed, a kitchen, and a routine, there are days when it feels like we are strangers living together. Everything seems like a dream when you move in together for the first time. sharing chores, breakfasts in bed, cuddles on the couch, and the joy of being together all the time. However, life begins to enter almost gradually. The emotional intimacy that was once effortless begins to be eroded as a result of stress at work, bills, daily responsibilities, and the monotony of routine. You are not imagining if you have ever said to yourself, "We live together, but I feel alone." It is not enough to be physically close to someone to sustain an attachment. It must be cared for. Couples, especially those who have been together for a long time, can overcome the difficulties of living together by following these steps. --- 🧠 1. Recognize that closeness equals intimacy Confusion between presence and connection is one of the most common pitfalls that couples fall into. Even though you're in the same house, that doesn't mean you're really talking to each other. > Think about the last time you looked your partner in the eye and inquired about how they were feeling. Couples often behave more like roommates than romantic partners in the UK, where a fast-paced work culture and emotional reserve are common. The treatment? deliberate attention Put the TV off. Put your phone down. Give each other a look. Speak. Listen. --- 💬 2. Make small, intimate moments of emotional closeness Grand gestures are not required. You require frequent, infrequent emotional touchpoints. a 10-second embrace prior to leaving for work Providing them with a cup of tea without asking putting a sticky note on their laptop that says, "I'm proud of you." asking, "What brought you joy today?" These instances convey a significant subconscious message: "I notice you. I care. You are valued. --- 🗓️ 3. Schedule time for connection, not just coexistence. While many UK couples share a home, they operate on distinct emotional timelines. The answer? Make time for bonding, not for chores. a dinner once a week with "no phones allowed" Taking a fifteen-minute walk after dinner together a "relationship check-in" once a month where you both share how you're feeling sexually and emotionally. Treat your relationship like a garden: even the most beautiful bond will wither if it is not given time, care, and pruning. --- 🧱 4. Learn about one another's attachment style. Attachment is influenced by childhood trauma, personality, and love. Are you worried and want to be reassured often? Does your partner avoid you and require more room? These differences can be made worse by living together. The one might feel smothered, and the other might feel left out. Learning about attachment theory can help save relationships. Books like Attached by Amir Levine and resources like the UK's Relate charity are game-changers. --- 🔄 5. Get out of your routine before it breaks you. Cohabitation's comfort and curse are routine. It's safe, but it can get old. To keep your emotions burning: Take turns organizing domestic "surprise dates." Make something new together. Recreate the first time you met. Before going to bed, read aloud to one another. Spend a weekend apart to rekindle longing and mystery. This emotional care becomes even more important in the United Kingdom, where couples may live together before getting married. --- ❤️ 6. Don't say things you think are obvious. "I adore you." "I'm grateful to you." "You are stunning." "I'm happy for you." Too many couples assume their partner knows and stop saying these words once they move in together. However, love flourishes when spoken, not just assumed. Emotional disconnection actually rarely occurs simultaneously. It fades slowly. a few unspoken praises. several missed opportunities to touch You'll still be in love, but you won't be able to hear each other. --- In conclusion: You should become closer by living together. However, it only works if you are emotionally deliberate. Don't just stick around in the same place. Exist in the hearts of one another. Recreate the customs. Make love sounds. Touch as if you are still figuring each other out. And if you're not sure, ask yourself: > "Would they feel loved if today were our last day together?" Because, at the end of the day, a relationship is not defined by sharing a bed or bills— It's how much you care about each other, even in the face of life's temptations to drift apart. Hold their hand as though it were the first time. As if you still have a thousand things to say, look into their eyes. And love them even though you don't live together But because your souls continue to reside in one another.

Crawling Back To You
More times than I can count, I've sat wondering who I truly was beneath all of the shame. I wondered if I was brilliant or if I was truly destined to remain in this child-like state of confusion. Walking the world wondering my purpose as I hide in the shadows of who I knew I wasn't, yet who I'd always been. I'd been dripping in a victimhood so carefully built by those around me who claimed that their love for me meant more than what society views love and friendship as today. I spent so much time in the comfort of being the victim that I hadn't paid any attention to the fact that while these people were building this victimhood, I was handing them the nails and hammer.
