On the surface, societal norms are meant to create order and help people live together in harmony. But the truth is, some of these unspoken rules we all follow can quietly chip away at our well-being.

Trust is the foundation of any relationship, but what happens when that foundation starts to crack? You may notice him acting a little different—guarding his phone like it’s a national secret, disappearing for hours with vague explanations, or suddenly becoming emotionally unavailable.

Aging has always been inevitable, but millennials are doing everything they can to rewrite that story. The generation that grew up on social media and skincare tutorials is now in their 30s and 40s, and many are more fixated than ever on staying young—at least on the outside.

We talk a lot about romantic heartbreak—the sobbing over ice cream, the rom-com bingeing, the epic phone calls to anyone who will listen. But losing a friend? That kind of heartbreak is quieter, less acknowledged, and often more painful. Friendship breakups don’t come with the same cultural playbook or emotional vocabulary as romantic ones, yet their impact can run just as deep—if not deeper. We
