To be called a lover is to be an object of loving. A being with devotion and craving, enraptured in making mental monologues about what have been, and what should have not. Roland Barthes revealed what it means to stand as a lover. An extreme solitude, he said. Owned or disowned, he dwells in that…
Some time ago, I came across a post on social media claiming that God or the universe gives us relationship intuition signs about who our soulmate will be.

As another year unfolds, I find myself in my familiar January ritual – scrolling through horoscopes predictions with a mixture of curiosity, hope, and yes, a slight tinge of anxiety.
