Ew! Get a room!

Hello? do y'all need some privacy or something?
 We've all heard it before. Whether it's at a park, a restaurant, or even in our own homes, there's always that one couple who can't keep their hands off each other. And when they start getting a little too cozy in public, it's only a matter of time before someone yells out, "Eww! Get a room!"

But let's be real, is it really that gross? I mean, we all know that PDA (public displays of affection) can be a bit uncomfortable to witness, especially when it's over the top. But is it really necessary to tell two people in love to "get a room"?

Holding hands ain't that bad, okay? 
Maybe it's just jealousy talking. After all, who wouldn't want to be in a loving relationship where they feel comfortable enough to show affection in public? Or maybe our society's obsession with propriety and decorum makes us cringe at the sight of two people getting intimate in public.

Either way, there's no denying that "Eww! Get a room!" has become a staple of our modern-day vernacular. And while it may not be the most polite thing to say, it certainly gets the message across.

But what if we took it a step further? What if instead of just telling people to "get a room", we actually gave them a room? I mean, think about it. How much nicer would it be to have designated areas for public displays of affection? We could call them "smooch zones" "kiss corners" or even "hug hubs". And who knows, maybe we could even charge admission and turn it into a profitable business venture.

We get it! You're in love. Jeez! 

Okay, okay, I know. I'm getting a little carried away here. But hey, you never know. Maybe one day we'll live in a world where PDA is not only accepted but encouraged. And when that day comes, we'll be ready with our "smooch zones" and our "hug hubs", ready to welcome all the lovebirds who just can't keep their hands off each other.

So the next time you hear someone say, "Eww! Get a room!", just remember that love is a beautiful thing and that maybe, just maybe, we should all be a little more accepting of it. Or at the very least, we could all use a good laugh.

Nimpost Ama Nisimpost?

You ever sat there scrolling your feed, fingers itchy, wondering—“Nimpost ama nisimpost?” 😅 Because let’s be real, in 2025 having a relationship is not just about love—it’s a whole PR project. The moment you tag bae, the whole world feels entitled to a seat at your dinner table. aded13a1-c639-4bd3-a8fd-c97fd4d0554b.png  When your relationship is a public project, not a private journey.    Challenge number one: the audience. Your relationship instantly stops being two people and becomes a community project. Aunties in diaspora, haters from high school, your ex lurking with popcorn. Everyone is “watching.” One fight and suddenly your post of “my forever” looks like satire. Challenge number two: the pressure. Public love has deadlines. You must like, comment, post couple pics or else…“Is everything okay?” Bro, sometimes I just want to love silently without feeling like a content creator for my own relationship. Challenge number three: the exit strategy. Private breakups are...

Why Money + Love = 2: A Happy New Year’s Controversy

Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve officially stepped into a brand-new year of chaos, excitement, and questionable resolutions. Some of you might be working on that six-pack (good luck with that), others may have vowed to be a better version of yourselves (again, best of luck), and a few of you probably just aim to survive the year (I’m with you). But let’s not kid ourselves: there’s a far more pressing question that needs answering. Are we really living in a world where money and love equal happiness? Can these two opposites actually add up to a perfect balance in life? Now, brace yourselves, because I’m about to drop a controversial hot take: Money and love are like 1 + 1 = 2. Think about it. Love alone is nice, but if you’re broke, how far does that love go? It’s hard to cuddle up in front of a fireplace when your electricity’s been cut off for the third time this month. But money alone? Don’t even get me started. You may have enough cash to buy a yacht, but it’s not much fun if you’re...

Why We All Need to Stop Running Away From Discomfort (But We Probably Won’t)

  Okay, let’s get real. We all have that one thing we do when life throws us an uncomfortable situation: we run. Yep, we ghost our problems, just like we ghost those half-baked Tinder matches or the leftover pizza in the fridge (don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about). But let’s be honest—avoiding discomfort is the ultimate cop-out. It feels good in the moment, sure. When someone brings up that awkward conversation about your personal life, or heaven forbid, asks you to take selfies when you’re just not feeling it (I mean, I’m not a Kardashian), it’s easy to do what I call the “silent retreat” move. Just shut down, walk away, and hope that if you ignore it long enough, it’ll magically fix itself. Spoiler alert: it won’t. But Why Do We Do This? It’s not like we’re all secretly introverts running away from human interaction (though, if you are, I totally understand). No, we avoid discomfort because it’s... uncomfortable. Shocking, right? But here’s the kicker: avoiding ...
