People I Didn’t Know I Needed

Hi cuties! I’m back with another blog post, and this one is purely an appreciation post for my friends. I honestly don’t know where to start, but I’ve never really had great friendships during my school years. So I didn’t truly understand what a good friendship felt like until 11th grade. After that, I found some of the best people I now get to call my friends, and I feel incredibly lucky to have them in my life. I have this one friend , and we actually hated each other in school. But after we left school, we realised we were in the same boat and could have easily been best friends back then. Better late than never, I guess, because now she is my best friend. I’ve known her for almost 10 years, so she’s not just a friend, she’s family. And I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve lost my guest privilege at her house, and she’s lost hers in my life. With her, I say the most cancellable things. She judges me, but then says something even more cancellable, and we both laugh like idiots. Tha...

Dating Today: A Struggle Nobody Signed Up For

My friends said, “Shruti, make a dating wrap for 2025,” and honestly… where do I even begin? Dating right now feels like connecting to WiFi that shows full signal but refuses to load Google. I’m asking for one emotionally available human, not requesting NASA-level resources.

This is not my personal wrap. This is the wrap of the entire population crying in group chats.

The Talking Stage Olympics

Welcome to Day 47 of “So… what exactly are we?”
You’ve exchanged thoughts, fears, memes, trauma, playlists and half your soul.
Ask for clarity?
Boom. He leaves the chat like he’s training for the Disappearing World Championships. Gold medal, honestly.

The Serial Situationship Seekers

They want the emotions, the attention, the good-morning energy, the comfort of a soft relationship… without the actual relationship.
It’s like wanting a warm hug but keeping both arms folded. Physics is confused. We are confused. Everyone is confused.

The Green Flag That Was Actually Highlighter Toxic

He starts off perfect. He listens. He remembers your coffee order. He hypes your eyeliner like it’s art.
Then suddenly, plot twist. Emotionally present on odd days. Vanishes on even days.
Congratulations, you’ve unlocked a limited edition man: Half Boyfriend, Half Ghost.

The Apps Are App-ing

Swipe left. Swipe right. Match. Ghost. Ghost gets bored. Ghost returns.
Your thumb deserves paid leave.
And why does every guy pose with a puppy that is clearly not his? At this point, are we dating or attending a wildlife safari?

The Attachment Anxiety Arc

You catch feelings and instantly want to update him on everything…
but you also whisper, “Relax babe, don’t get attached. He might disappear like your lip balms.”
So it’s clingy on the inside, cold on the outside. Basically a human version of a lava cake.

But here’s the thing:
For all its madness, dating is kinda… sweet.
The butterflies, the tiny moments, the stupid smiles at the screen, the thrill of a good conversation, the chaos that makes us feel alive.

And somewhere out there, another tired human is also scrolling, overthinking and reading this like:

“Yup. Same bro. Same.”

Thanks for reading, here’s to butterflies, bad decisions, and better stories.
