In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica is reeling. Entire communities have been left in ruins, homes flattened, roads destroyed, and countless families displaced. From Portland to Clarendon, Kingston to St. Mary, the island carries the deep scars of one of the most devastating storms in recent memory. Yet even as the rain subsides and the floodwaters begin to recede, one truth remains clear — Jamaica’s greatest strength has always been its people. And right now, those people need help more than ever. This is a call, not to the government or to politicians, but to the sons and daughters of Jamaica who have risen to fame and fortune. To the entertainers, influencers, athletes, and public figures — both at home and abroad — the time has come to stand up for your fans. These are the same people who streamed your music day and night, who wore your brand, who shared your posts, who prayed for you when you were just starting out.

Settling, Surviving, or Self-Loving: What Does Modern Love Really Look Like
We were told love conquers all. That it’s the glue holding families together, the spark that makes life worth living. But what happens when love becomes a performance—curated for social media, filtered through convenience, or stretched thin to maintain a “stable” home? These days, many stay not because they’re in love, but because it’s easier than starting over. Easier than facing solitude. Easier than admitting it’s no longer working.
Some relationships are built on warmth but lack financial stability. Others offer security but feel emotionally barren. And then there are the toxic ones—held together by fear, obligation, or the hope that things will change. We’re told to endure, to compromise, to fight for love. But how many heartbreaks can one truly survive before the fight becomes self-destruction?
“If love is supposed to be universal, why are so many walking away from it? Here’s what the numbers say…”
It’s not that people don’t want love anymore—it’s that they’re tired of chasing a version of it that doesn’t nourish them. We’ve tried the financially secure partner who’s emotionally unavailable. The attentive lover who can’t contribute. The passionate connection that fizzles under pressure. And after all that, we’re left wondering: is it us? Or is the blueprint broken?
More people are choosing themselves. Not out of bitterness, but clarity. They’re walking away from relationships that ask them to shrink, to settle, to silence their needs. They’re embracing solitude not as loneliness, but as liberation. Maybe we weren’t born to be alone—but we weren’t born to suffer either. The real question isn’t whether love is worth it, but whether the version of love we’re clinging to still serves us.
So here’s the thought I’ll leave you with:
Is modern love still about connection—or have we mistaken comfort, validation, and routine for something deeper?
