There’s nothing quite like the gut punch of getting a text that says, “I’m not ready for anything right now,”  only to see that same person swiping away on Tinder later. It’s like being told, “It’s not you, it’s me,”  while they’re actively browsing for someone new. And honestly? That sucks. The Classic Mixed-Signal Move When someone says they’re not ready for a relationship, we usually take it at face value. We assume they need time, space, and healing—whatever the case. We respect that. But then, a wild dating profile appears. Suddenly, their need for “time”  feels like a convenient excuse rather than an honest reflection of where they’re at. Let’s be honest: why are you in the dating pool if you're not ready? Why are you entertaining new connections while telling me, “It’s just not the right time” ? It feels like a cruel joke—like someone pressing pause on you while hitting play with everyone else. The Harsh Reality: You Weren’t the One He Wasn’t Ready For This part stings, but sometimes, “I’m not ready”  means “I’m not ready for you.”  And that’s a hard pill to swallow. Because if they were genuinely uninterested in dating, they wouldn’t be on an app built specifically for that. Instead, they’re keeping their options open, waiting for something that feels  right to them—while leaving you in emotional limbo. That’s not fair. That’s not kind. And that’s not the kind of energy you need in your life. So What Do You Do? First, recognize that this says more about them than you. Someone who genuinely respects you wouldn’t feed you a line while playing the field. They wouldn’t string you with half-truths while swiping for their next distraction. Second, take this as the clarity you need. Why should you waste another second waiting around if they're looking elsewhere? Be with someone who wants  to be with you, not someone who leaves you questioning your worth. And finally, remember: you don’t have to settle for mixed signals. The right person won’t make you feel like an option—they’ll make you a priority. So, to the guy who isn’t “ready”  but somehow manages to be Tinder-ready—best of luck. But I won’t be waiting. Bye-Bye!

Domestic violence is a crisis that affects millions of people, regardless of age, gender, race, or socioeconomic status. It doesn’t just happen behind closed doors—it’s in our communities, our workplaces, and even among our friends and family. The reality is chilling, but the message must be clear: we don’t stand for it. The Reality of Domestic Violence According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence (NCADV), nearly 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men have experienced some form of physical violence by an intimate partner. But domestic violence isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, psychological, financial, and verbal. It’s about control, manipulation, and power. Victims often feel trapped, ashamed, and scared to leave. Abusers use intimidation, threats, and even financial dependence to maintain control. But silence only fuels the cycle, and the more we ignore it, the more it thrives. Breaking the Silence For too long, society has treated domestic violence as a private issue, something to be handled behind closed doors. But domestic violence is a human rights issue, a public health crisis, and a legal matter.  Speaking up can save lives. If you suspect someone is experiencing abuse, believe them. Offer support, not judgment. Please encourage them to seek professional help and resources. And if you are in an abusive situation, know that help is available, and you are not alone.

Breakups or Divorces are never easy. Whether you saw it coming or were blindsided, the end of a relationship can feel like a storm rolling through your life, leaving behind a mess of emotions, memories, and unanswered questions. But within the wreckage, there's an opportunity— a chance to heal, to rediscover yourself, and to come out stronger on the other side. Pain isn’t something to be rushed or ignored. You have to feel it to heal it. Allow yourself to grieve the relationship, the lost future you imagined, and the parts of yourself that were tied to your partner. Cry, journal, scream into a pillow—whatever helps you process the emotions instead of suppressing them. Crying can be one of the healthiest methods; do not hold it in, let it roll. It’s tempting to check their social media, revisit old texts, or replay memories like a highlight reel. But every time you do, you reopen the wound. Set firm boundaries with yourself—unfollow, mute, or even block if necessary. Protect your healing space. Your healing space is yours; do not let people tell you what to do; you know what you need to find yourself again; no matter what you do, you will learn from this experience. You can lean on friends and family; you don’t have to do this alone. Surround yourself with people who remind you of your worth—friends who make you laugh, family who give you perspective, or even a therapist who can help you navigate the emotional waves. Heartbreak isn’t just emotional; it’s physical, too. Get moving—take a walk, go to a yoga class, or dance around your living room. Eat foods that nourish you instead of comfort-eating your way through the pain. Sleep when you need to. Your body and mind are deeply connected, and caring for one helps heal the other. Almost every time I've felt sad, I get up and move, even during the cold. It’s easy to think about what you could have done differently, but the truth is that relationships end for a reason. Whether it was incompatibility, timing, or circumstances, dwelling on the "what ifs" will not change the outcome. Accept the lessons, not the regrets. Healing doesn’t mean you need to jump into another relationship right away. It means being open—to new experiences, to new friendships, to new love when the time is right. Your heart isn’t permanently broken; it’s just learning to beat itself again. Breakups can leave you feeling lost, but they also allow you to prioritize yourself in ways you may not have before. Show up for yourself, be kind, and remember that your happiness does not depend on someone else—it starts with you. Healing takes time, but every day is a step forward. And one day, you’ll look back and realize that this wasn’t just a heartbreak but a breakthrough. Stay strong!
