Have you ever experienced confusion or difficulty in a relationship due to a lack of clear labels? It’s not uncommon for friends who start a romantic relationship without discussing the change in title to end up feeling hurt, confused, or unsure of what’s appropriate. However, a title shouldn’t be seen as a burden or restriction. Rather, it’s simply a description of the nature of a relationship. Titles can help to clarify expectations and boundaries. Like talking about a diagnosis, they provide general understanding. For example, if someone from a different culture or the LGBTQ community tells me they are married, I have a general understanding of what that means, although there may be cultural or personal differences that need to be discussed. It’s important to note that while labels can be helpful, they don’t guarantee safety or a particular outcome. They’re more like guidelines to help navigate the relationship.

Coffee Note: The most expensive coffee in the world is called Kopi Luwak, or civet coffee. It is made from coffee beans that have been eaten and excreted by a civet cat. The digestion process is believed to enhance the flavor of the coffee beans.
