An Evening at the Fourth Eye Gallery
One thing I love more than events is dressing up for them. Like honestly, is your event really an event if it doesn’t have a theme? Hehe. Last Sunday afternoon, I attended the launch of Boy on the Shore by Mark Wambui. The event, dubbed “An Evening at the Fourth…

Love In Film – Inception
I watched Inception such a long time ago but I don’t think I ever understood it. So when I watched it again recently, it felt like I was watching it for the first time. Since it’s my most recent watch, I had to make it the first film in Naivety…

The Messy In-between
There’s a stage in love that most if not all of us have lived through, yet we rarely name it. It isn’t quite dating, it isn’t quite a relationship, and it isn’t quite being single either. It’s that messy, in-between. The space where your heart is already invested, but nothing…

It’s Giving… Work in Progress
I hardly realized when I turned 30. It didn’t feel like a big deal. If it wasn’t for the surprise party my colleagues planned, I probably would’ve had a quiet dinner at home, watching my favorite romcom and calling it a night. Then came the inevitable questions: “How does it…

Naive Girls with Romcom Hearts
I have seen and experienced a huge shift in relationships. I almost thought, after not being in this space for a while, it’d be relatively clear getting back in. But instead, it’s like finally getting a glass of water after being desperately thirsty for too long. I want to drink…

Eventually
I shouldn’t have given in to him so fast. But at the time, it didn’t feel fast. I did after all want him just as much if not more. I think it was way more. I looked at him now, feeling him revert to a version I didn’t know, now…
