Dear Celes, I have been with my partner for ten years now. I know I have made lots of sacrifices to be with him and I don’t regret my decisions. However, recently I’m worrying if I am giving up aspects of myself and shaping myself to be with him, without realizing it. I don’t want to lose sight of my dreams. How do you manage…

“Hi Celes, I have been engaged to a guy for four years. Lately, we have been feeling quite irritated and exhausted around each other. Every talk is an argument now. Though ours is a very serious relationship (and I still love him), I don’t know how to deal with this. If we break up, I’m not sure how to tell our parents. Please help Celes.”…

I have a secret to share. I used to be afraid of intimidating other people. Specifically, men. Since my early 20s (I’m 28), I’ve been regarded as a “power woman”. I’ve constantly been described as “smart”, “intelligent”, “courageous”, “driven”, “powerful”, “strong”, “highly developed”, “capable”, “intellectual”, “career-driven”, and at times, “fearless”. Some friends have gone as far as to tell me that I’m the smartest /…

Hey Celes, I’ve always been the listener, the one who gives in, and the one who holds back for others. But now I just really want someone to hear me out and understand where I’m coming from. Is this expectation silly? Or I should try communicating this need to my friends? I just don’t know how though. ~ Sejal Hey Sejal, changing the dynamics of…
