Redefining the “Situationship”: Why Uncommittal Non-Monogamy Isn’t the Problem—Fear Is

What if everything you’ve been told about “situationships” is wrong? In this unapologetically honest first-person essay, one woman redefines love, sex, and freedom through the lens of ethical non-monogamy.

Codependent Gloom Tomb

Funny, biting, and all too real, it’s less about climbing trees and more about breaking free from the ones that trap you.

I f You Give a Narc a Cookie

Inspired by the beloved children’s book, this parody swaps out the sweet mouse for a not-so-sweet narcissist. Instead of milk and straws, he demands control, twists your words, rewrites reality, and tosses you just enough crumbs to keep you chasing.

It’s witty, sharp, and a little too real. Not the story you read at bedtime—more like the story you wish you’d read before you baked that first cookie.

The lesson? Never EVER give a Narc a cookie.
