Everyone Has An Ex

Sleep — a time to rest, recover, and reset, allowing you to wake refreshed and ready to face a brand new day. That elusive eight hours we all strive for, filled with dreams that quietly keep us company through the night. But for Cindy, sleep wasn’t a luxury. It was something a little more complicated
And while those complications can steal those dreams away - what you don’t expect is for them to be replaced by nightmares — not the kind you have in your sleep, but the kind that are happening in real life.

Freedom—there’s nothing quite like it. Especially at the beginning of a new romance, when everything feels light, electric, and full of possibility.
But freedom can easily be taken for granted, overlooked or underappreciated. And like everything - there’s no guarantee it will last forever. And if or when that sense of freedom starts to slip away, the consequences don’t always just touch you, but start a ripple effect, affecting everything and everyone around you.

Power is an interesting thing when it comes to relationships. It can be shared, moved around when life and circumstances change, it can even be kinda hot.
But the key to navigating different power dynamics is in balance.
So when a relationship starts with the scales very much one way, it can prove near impossible to shift it, and all of a sudden you can find yourself nowhere near the driver’s seat, and spinning out of control.

There’s nothing quite like the instant connection you feel when you meet someone and just know they could be “your person.” It’s a bond that runs deep—felt emotionally, intellectually, and physically—so powerful that, together, you feel capable that you can conquer anything and everything.
But with a connection this strong, it’s easy to overlook a few signs—to give your person the benefit of the doubt…but that doesn’t mean everyone in your corner will see it the same way.

What makes a perfect partner? Does the person you meet, catch feelings for and see a life with have to be perfect from the start? Or do you look at potential imperfections and think “I can fix them”? Especially when said imperfections are ones you have dealt with yourself?
That’s Jen. She’s what we’d call “a fixer”. The connection she had with Steve was strong enough that what others might perceive as red flags, she saw as things they could overcome. Together. No matter what it took.
But the problem with fixers is that they often fail to see what they’re losing in themselves, in trying to help the other person.
