I’m Aarel!

Not Ariel, it’s pronounced R-E-L. I love writing and sharing my thoughts, so that’s pretty much what this blog is all about! Join me on this journey through my mind.

Wholesome Words from a Mending HeartApril 27, 2022
Dating, especially in the post Covid world era, is stressful and weird, presenting itself with what seems, at least to me, to be the most difficult terrain I’ve ever had to traverse. I’ve come to realize that the dating app scene can seem mindless, oftentimes feeling aimless, debilitating, and criminally objectifying. In a lot of... Continue Reading →
For my Love (future)April 26, 2022
I wanted to have a variety of mediums for this project, so I made a playlist! This is just a cute little playlist with a pretty self explanatory title. The songs aren’t in any particular order so feel free to skip around. Enjoy 🙂

A continuous cycle I’m in denial I base my self worth on my profile And the likes I receive and the messages I get. I think I finally found a way to forget- You. This is new to me I confuse attention with intention How many tears must I shed before I learn my lesson?... Continue Reading →

Intimacy in PinkApril 21, 2022
I wrote this poem about the kind of intimacy I want to experience with the right person. Initially it was just a poem and then I decided to make it into a video! Which admittedly was pretty difficult. I was inspired by a tiktok trend where people described their significant others as various things like... Continue Reading →
DodgeballApril 20, 2022
What love means Slash Is to you That’s the question people ask themselves I think I finally get it What it means to hold on To lose I finally think I get what it means to bruise To grow old See loved ones do drugs Get off them But the stories in my head retold... Continue Reading →
Quarter Love CrisisApril 19, 2022
Rihanna said, “I’ve loved and I’ve lost.” back in 2012 and I didn’t know what it meant. I was only a teenager in high school. I went on my first date in college at the age of 19. That date turned into another and another and we went 9 months strong including 6 months of... Continue Reading →
UnfinishedApril 18, 2022
It's funny how sometimes the beginning predicts the end. My first passion started as it ended: out of nowhere I only noticed the first kiss when it came I only noticed its absence when it didn't With the second girl I saw it coming I knew where it was heading before we even began But...

Love & DatesApril 14, 2022
I want to go on a date. I’ve never been on a date before. To be completely honest, I’ve never wanted to go on a date before. Sometimes, when I mention this to someone, they seem surprised. Perhaps I seem a little old to have never been on a date, or in a relationship, or... Continue Reading →
BlossomingApril 13, 2022
This was my first date with my ex. We lived near each other, though we had never met, or even seen each other. After we matched, we quickly grew fond of one another, and soon we were scheduling a date. However, there was a small problem: I was playing futsal and had to split the... Continue Reading →
Accidentally in LoveApril 12, 2022
I’ve walked this life with my head in the clouds, eyes in a book, or a problem to resolve; a figment of imagination, a part of reality, or a little bit of both I may never know. The darkness of the world felt distant, drumming, theory of chaos. Life doesn’t always have the structure that... Continue Reading →

Three Words and Eight LettersApril 8, 2022
Cheyenne Brown is an up-and-coming Youtuber An explanation of the title: I wanted to point out how the phrase “I hate you” is three words and eight letters, the same as “I love you”. Even though the relationship ended and I still loved him, it was easier to say that I hated him, than to... Continue Reading →
Finding Self Love Through HobbiesApril 7, 2022
BY: ANON One silver lining of the pandemic was that it forced a lot of us to break free of our normal routine. Days once filled with places to be in-person were reduced to nothing. Like many people, I found myself unemployed for part of the last two years. Having attended a college that prides... Continue Reading →
|| lover ||April 6, 2022
You asked me to describe my love I said He’s the beginning of a Florida storm Full of sunshine and thunder The smell of rain hitting the baking pavement A crackling fire on a winter night Powerful, hypnotizing, and feels like home – Madeline Lee, lover of wanderlust, food, and iced coffee
My Reluctant LoveApril 5, 2022
It doesn’t make sense that we fell in love as we did. I hated you. I hated the way you breathed, like you held each moment carefully in fear or hope it would be your last. Or the strides you took from the door to your room, anxiously waiting for a cycle to end so... Continue Reading →
Red FlagsApril 4, 2022
What are red flags to someone with rose colored glasses? What is love to someone who’s never had it? Was your only intention to take advantage Of someone who accepted crumbs of affection as currency? Because you made me believe the bare minimum was better than nothing You knew I dreamed in pink- I wanted... Continue Reading →
