Rye Off The Bat

A rye off the bat poetry performance on the beauty of what it could have been; the perfect imperfect Schrödinger's (cat) Pandora box of what might or might not happen. It could have been, a phase that relates and connects all of us together, but at the same time disconnects our present to the future that... "could have been".

What would you do if you kept receiving explicit photos from your friend, or if you knew your friend is viewing you in a sexual way? When is No and definitely No and how should we keep our distance and set our boundaries? How about finding out your boyfriend is keeping sensitive photos of his friends and secretly taking photos of you?

In this episode, we discuss and explore how such compromising media has become a part of relationships. Would it let you break yourself? how would you navigate such tough situations?

Do you keep items from your past relationship after your breakups? From functional items like clothing, or wallet to emotional items like letters, there are a huge variety of items that still stays in our life even though our lover doesn't. So how much of those do you keep?

In this episode, we share about how we felt interacting with such "trinkets" after the relationship, and sometimes it could be a reminder of how far we have gone, or perhaps a bittersweet one to remind us that... "it's been a good ride"

Heading over to Lazarus Island for Natasha's Art installation, we never knew that we would find such wisdom in the natural world, as we stood there, observing the worm wiggling through life. It gave us some sort of epiphany; or you can call it "the Worm's Eye View", as we looked at the world alittle differently, with 3 amazing takeaways to share with you guys. It was amazing how one humble creature could teach us so much, and come hop into the wormhole with us now!

This episode was made fresh off the oven after I'm back from my therapist, who shared with me on some practices of sleep hygiene. Insomnia is always a thing that I have to battle with together with PTSD and with the recent treatment and medication, it definitely worsen.

It isn't that bad or severe (I feel) but it really does affect my functioning days. So my doctor came out with some practices that I could adopt and I feel it is something helpful to share it!

A short rumbling about this 1997 dystopian sci-fi thriller called Gattaca. How ahead of time it is, when they covered about humanity and our tendency to discriminate, while we strive for the best. Greed? Naivety? 

It was really nice to see Ethan Hawke after I first saw him at predestination. This movie really came full circle for me.

A shoutout and thank you to penguin for this recommendation.

In the second episode of relationship advice, Chilli and I explore some interesting relationship stories around. What would you do if you found out that the person you're dating is married? How about receiving evidence and notes that your partner is cheating? 

There's always a saying how couples in love would put on weight together, but what happens when your husband no longer feel physically attracted to you? 

In this episode, it was a question that I asked myself, as I wonder if mental health is now mostly used as an excuse or if there's more to it. Going through this difficult time, I have difficulty functioning sometime, yet I didn't expect people to understand me. It was another thing altogether when I have been using my mental health as my safety net, or am I really not? I asked myself that as I falter...

What if your partner doesn't groom themselves?

This list of questions goes on as we dive deep into our relationship stories, from unpacking our emotional baggage to reacting and sharing our 2 cents. From Relationship Advice, we wanted to create something that starts more conversations and for people to share about how they feel or think. At the end of the day, communication is definitely key, and sometimes we just need that leap of faith to talk about it. And have that uncomfortable conversation to work on being comfortable together again
