TOPIC: LOVE
Love isn’t always candlelight and soft music — sometimes it’s strategy, stamina, and ducking for cover. Love is a Battlefield is all about the clashes, compromises, victories, and wipeouts that come with caring deeply for someone (or trying to).
Maybe you’ve survived a spectacular breakup, fought for a relationship worth keeping, or navigated the emotional minefields of family, friendships, or dating apps. Maybe you’ve gone to war with your own heart — trying to let someone in, trying to let someone go, or trying to love yourself through a tough season.
From hilarious miscommunication skirmishes to epic battles for your happiness, this topic invites stories that are messy, triumphant, tender, or downright cinematic. Because whether we win, lose, or call a truce, love always changes us — and the stories are unforgettable.
