Everyone Has An Ex

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.

Relationships can be a lot like games — you win some, you lose some, and just when you think you know the rules, they change. There are highs, lows, and the occasional plot twist you don’t see coming.
But the thing about games is when they’re over, you usually get a clean slate — a chance to reset and start again. But sometimes, just when it’s over… that’s when the real games begin.

“In sickness and in health.”
Words usually reserved for traditional wedding vows — not the beginning of a relationship in your early twenties.
But for Lucy and Lars, that was exactly how their story began.
The thing about being sick in your twenties is that you carry an unshakable belief that you’ll bounce back. You’re young, after all.
But what happens when the illness lingers — an unsolved mystery that slowly takes over your life, your love, and the person you once were?
