Thanks for the “almost"
Not every “almost” was a waste of mascara and emotional bandwidth. Some were wake-up calls disguised as love stories with bad Wi-Fi and worse timing.
In Thanks for the Ones Who Ghosted Gracefully, The Cynical Romantic gets real about gratitude for those fleeting, fizzled sparks that shaped us more than the “forevers” ever did. It’s a heartfelt toast to timing, confidence, and the art of moving on without bitterness—or deleting the playlist.
Because closure is overrated, and self-awareness is the best Thanksgiving side dish.
Read Part 1 of Thanks for the Almosts, a pre-holiday trilogy from Love, Lies & Scandals that proves gratitude isn’t just for turkey—it’s for the ghosts that made us human.
E=mc² or Love = Messy Commitment Squared
Love isn’t logical—but it is full of energy. In “Love in the Time of Einstein,” The Cynical Romantic puts E=mc² under the microscope (and maybe a wine glass) to explain why relationships combust, collapse, and occasionally defy gravity. From IKEA-induced meltdowns to passion that burns hotter than a Bunsen flame, this witty breakdown of Einstein’s most famous equation proves that love and physics share one inconvenient truth: both can blow up without warning. If you’ve ever lost track of time with someone—or endured a breakup that felt like a small nuclear event—this one’s for you. Equal parts humor, heartbreak, and half-baked science, it’s your cosmic permission slip to stop trying to “balance” love’s equation and start laughing at its chaos.
