This one is for the girls who have a bad habit of deep rumination! I wrote this song about how it feels to question love. You spend so much time with a person and give so much of yourself to them, but can't help but wonder if it's genuinely you that they are in love with, or the feeling of just having someone.
Through therapy and a lot of self-reflection, I've discovered that those of us who were labeled "so independent" as children often carry specific patterns into our adult relationships. And here's the uncomfortable truth: most of these patterns aren't actually serving us well.
You know that feeling when your phone buzzes with party invites, your LinkedIn connections hit four digits, and your calendar stays packed with coffee dates and networking events? Yet when life throws you a curveball at 2 am-maybe you're stranded with a dead car battery, or anxiety has you wide awake-you scroll through your contacts and realize there's no one you can actually call.

What form would the otherwise formless emotional and psychological internal world take? In her new suite of paintings, Konstantina Krikzoni attempts to uncover just that.

I don't know if you can. This was a sincere moment. Your feelings were indicating something that your brain didn't realize. Maybe you weren't really ready for this kind of contact after all that happened. Or maybe part of you was ready for it and another part of you wasn't. Ambivalence is the norm for a lot of situations. Our feelings can conflict and we may not even realize it until they're pouring out of us.
"I hate giving flowers because of how it makes me feel," Safe Elghorab admits while putting together a flower arrangement with his friends. His friends see this admission as an opening to unpack Safe's honest take. "How does it make you feel? Let's talk about it!" "Just always ask why," another friend, Chui, recommends, and soon, the men are unpacking why Safe "hates" giving flowers. "Why does it make you feel vulnerable?"
