Call for submissions : Alexithymia

This issue explores love through the lens of alexithymia—the inability to identify or describe emotions. What does it mean to love when you can’t articulate it? When the feeling is there, raw and real, but language falls short? It's about the ache of wanting to connect but struggling to translate heartbeats into sentences. Love that exists in silence, in glances, in absence.

Deadline : August 5, 2025 Writers and artists are invited to explore:

♡ Loving without understanding what you feel

♡ Emotional disconnects in romantic or platonic bonds

♡ The tension between deep feeling and emotional expression

♡ Love as gesture, presence, memory, or absence never fully said, but unmistakably known

♡ The poetry of emotional distance Submit here : https://tally.so/r/3XkaQe

Poetry by Kxyupid

Ever felt struck by Cupid's arrow? The world slows down, each breath pulls you into the present, and you start smiling with your eyes before your lips slowly curl up towards your ears? With each step, your footsteps lighten, your heart flutters, and you feel like a character in a poem about a silly thing called love. If that sounded like a yes, come be the muse of a poem with me at Poetry by Love and Cheesecake. It’s not just another aesthetically pleasing cafe but an experience that blends the art of culinary with romance of poetic ambiance. Whether you’re a lover of sweet treats or sweet reads, this cafe promises to steal your heart. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted with an orphic atmosphere adorned in hues of pink, perfect for your coquette aesthetic Pinterest boards. The decor is thoughtfully curated, combining modern chic with a touch of vintage charm like a love letter sealed with a lipstick mark. Soft lighting, plush seating and delicate floral arrangements akin to amorous bossa nova in the air.  Love manifests in various forms, making it heartwarming to find it all in one spot. Whether it's a solo date for self-love, a gathering with friends, reminiscing childhood memories with family, or an intimate evening with your partner, this place offers it all with its own special love language, food. As Alan D. Wolfelt beautifully puts it, “Food is symbolic of love when words are inadequate. “ Picture this, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Each sip warms you like a tender embrace. On your plate, pastries await, each bite a symphony of flavours. The buttery croissants melt like kisses. As you indulge in this feast, you can't help but feel grateful for the simple joys in life.

Café Chocolatti

Tucked away in the lively streets of Candolim, North Goa. This english style garden café, popular for their cakes, bakes and homemade chocolates has become an essential part of my Goan experience. For me, Café Chocolatti is more than just a café; it's a cherished tradition. The moment I took my first sip of their rich and velvety hot chocolate, I was transported to a world of pure bliss. Their sundaes are a work of art, piled high with scoops of creamy ice cream, drizzled with chocolate sauce, and topped with a mountain of whipped cream and let's not forget about their brownies - dense, fudgy, and utterly irresistible. Every bite is a symphony of flavors, leaving me craving for more with each mouthful. What sets Café Chocolatti apart is the warmth and kindness. The staff greets you with a grin and treats you like an old friend. It's a location where you may spend hours lost in conversation or flavours.

From savory Panini Sandwiches to refreshing Berry Smoothies and mouth watering Crepes, there's something to satisfy every craving. And for those with a penchant for all things chocolate, the menu boasts heavenly treats like Brownies and French Toast, guaranteed to leave you craving for more. Café Chocolatti welcomes furry friends with open arms. Just remember, they're closed on Tuesdays and open only until 7 pm so, the next time you find yourself in North Goa, be sure to carve out some time in your itinerary for a visit to Café Chocolatti.

Dreamy Dehradun Café

I was recently on a vacation to Mussoorie when my cafe-hopping heart decided to check out cafés in Dehradun, and was immediately drawn to the dreamy “Cafe de Piccolo" based solely on its Google profile. With a 4.5 star rating and ranking #4 out of 400+ restaurants and cafes in Dehradun, the Italian and vegan-friendly "Café de Piccolo" did not disappoint. The café is fashioned like a house, as seen in the scenic paintings we created as children, and transported me to Gilmore Girls Autumn. The atmosphere is quite cosy and intimate, with a cottage core and antique design such as porcelain plates, oak bookcases, and flowery tablecloths under dim yellow lighting. It feels like going into a warm comfortable shelter while it's raining outside, and smells of freshly made walnut and chocolate cakes served with brewed coffee, with symphonic jazz music that reminds you of Disney songs, like 'So This Is Love'. They provide a vast menu with an even more attractive specials menu. The staff communicated in fluent English and were really hospitable.

I had their vanilla latte, which arrived in a large porcelain red cup with a foam-topped leaf pattern. It tasted pretty similar to a vanilla latte from Starbucks, but better due to the cafe's atmosphere.

The vanilla latte was wonderfully made, smelled lovely, and was just the right amount of bitter. I also ordered their garlic bread sans cheese, which came in four servings. The ratio of garlic to butter was ideal, the bread was soft, fresh, and easy to bite on, and despite the lack of cheese, I'd be lying if I claimed it wasn't one of the nicest garlic breads I've ever had. I'd recommend going in the evening around sunset since the impact of the lighting just becomes greater. The café may be a little costly, and the prices can easily be compared to larger places like Starbucks or Third Wave Coffee, but I felt it was far more worth the same sum spent here than at a Starbucks and is definitely a must visit.
