There’s no manual for the moment someone you thought you knew suddenly vanishes from your life without explanation. No warning. No goodbye. Just silence. And that silence? It’s deafening. We often discuss heartbreak, healing, and the complexities in between. But there’s a special kind of pain that comes when someone—maybe a partner, a close friend, even family—stops showing up. You scroll through old texts, photos, and memories, trying to pinpoint the moment everything shifted. Spoiler alert: you won’t find it. Because often, they didn’t change gradually—they just disappeared . And the person you knew? Suddenly, it feels like a ghost in your life. Here’s the hard truth: People don’t always provide closure. Sometimes they leave mid-chapter, and you’re left holding the pen, trying to finish a story you didn’t realize was ending. You ask yourself, “How could they just stop talking to me?” But maybe the better question is, “Why did I believe they were someone who wouldn’t?” What makes this kind of loss sting is that it forces you to re-examine not just the relationship, but yourself. Were you blind to the signs? Were they pretending all along? Were you too much? (Spoiler again: You weren’t.) When someone ghosts, it doesn’t mean you were unworthy—it means they lacked the courage to communicate. Authentic connection requires vulnerability, maturity, and respect. If someone can’t offer you that, their silence is a twisted gift: it shows you who they truly are. So if someone you once loved or trusted becomes unrecognizable in the shadows of silence, let them go. Let the version of them you held onto fade. You don’t need answers to heal. You need to know your worth doesn’t shrink based on someone else’s inability to love you well. This is your reminder: Sometimes losing someone who vanishes without a word is the universe clearing space for people who won’t. If someone cuts you off, you may want to find a reason for their action, but honestly, they are not worth your time. You deserve presence. You deserve honesty. And you deserve people who choose  you, even when it’s uncomfortable to stay. Stay Strong Erin

Let’s get straight: if communication isn’t happening, neither is the relationship. We’ve all been there—on the edge of our seat, waiting for a text back, decoding a vague message, or wondering if the awkward silence means something (spoiler: it does). And if you've gone through a divorce, chances are communication—or the lack thereof—played some part in the unraveling. So why repeat the cycle? Let’s call it what it is: non-communicators are exhausting. These are the folks who leave you on read, dodge anything that remotely smells like vulnerability, and treat emotional conversations like landmines. They'll say, “I’m just not good at talking about feelings,”  as if that’s an endearing quirk, not a red flag waving like a matador’s cape. Here’s the thing: in this post-divorce, self-aware, taking-no-BS chapter of your life, communication isn’t a bonus—it’s the baseline. You deserve someone who picks up the phone, not someone who ghosts until it's convenient. You deserve clarity, not breadcrumb texts or cryptic “u up?” messages at midnight. You’ve already done the emotional labor of trying to pull words out of someone. You’re not a therapist or a mind-reader—you’re a human wanting a real connection. Healthy relationships are built on mutual respect, emotional safety, and (you guessed it) communication. That means checking in, saying, “Hey, this bothered me,” or “I liked spending time with you,” without it turning into a three-act drama or disappearing act. So, cut the cord if you find yourself chasing clarity, wondering what they meant, or feeling like you're talking to a wall. You’re not asking for too much. You’re asking the wrong person. Trust me: life after divorce is too short and full of potential to waste on people who can’t speak and say how they feel. Communicate or keep it moving.  That’s the new rule. Block out those you are scared of communication - sadly, that seems to be the theme on repeat for many folks.... know there is someone out there that wants to communicate with you ...you just haven't found them yet. It will be worth it in the long run. No respect, means steer clear. Cheers, Erin

There’s something about summer that feels lighter, looser, and a little more open to possibility. Maybe it’s the warm nights, spontaneous getaways, or rooftop cocktails—but when the temperature rises, so does the potential for a bit of romance. Enter: the summer fling. But in an age of dating apps, situationships, and ghosting, are summer flings still a thing? Or have they melted away like an ice cream cone in July? The Golden Age of the Fling Let’s rewind. Summer flings used to be a rite of passage—think Grease , Dirty Dancing , or every teen movie ever made. You met someone on vacation, at a concert, maybe even on the beach, and sparks flew. It was understood: this was fun, fleeting, and passionate. You weren’t planning a future—you were enjoying a moment. Fast Forward to Now Today’s dating culture is more complicated. People are more emotionally cautious, communication is often digital-first, and “what are we?” conversations can feel like negotiating a contract. Add in the burnout from swiping and small talk, and suddenly, the casual charm of a summer fling feels... a bit out of reach. But here’s the twist: they’re not gone—they’ve just evolved . The Modern Summer Fling A summer fling doesn’t have to be a whirlwind romance on a beach (though that sounds lovely). It can be someone you connect with for a season, a chapter, a few weeks of fun, freedom, and chemistry, without expectations of forever. It’s about shared experiences: outdoor concerts, lazy pool days, late-night talks, and maybe a few sparks under the stars. And maybe, if you're lucky (or unlucky, depending on your perspective), the fling might even surprise you and stick around past Labor Day. Why We Still Crave It Summer flings still serve a purpose. They remind us to live in the moment. To take a risk. To rediscover spontaneity. In a world full of planning and pressure, there’s a sweet freedom in knowing something doesn’t have to last forever to be meaningful. So… Are They Still a Thing? Yes—just with a modern twist. They’re more intentional, more emotionally aware, and often come with boundaries and communication that our younger selves might not have had. But the magic? It’s still there. And maybe that’s what keeps us chasing a little romance when the sun sets late and the air smells like sunscreen and possibility. Whether it’s a long weekend crush or a full-on seasonal spark, a summer fling might be just what your heart (or your curiosity) ordered.
