Thank you for taking the time to visit — I hope you find something here that feels meaningful, something that stirs a quiet recognition within you.
Let’s explore together — not just what love means, but where it leads us: toward growth, and sometimes toward the illusions that hide both in others and in ourselves
Here are some things that often imitate love:
– Attachment: “I can’t imagine life without you” ≠ “I love you.”
– Infatuation: “I can’t stop thinking about them” ≠ “I love them.”
– Possession: “You’re mine” ≠ “I love you.”
– Validation: “You make me feel special” ≠ “I love you.”
– Codependency: “I’ll fix you” ≠ “I love you.”
– Adoration: “I look up to you” ≠ “I love you.”
– Comfort: “We’ve been together forever” ≠ “We’re still in love.”
Sometimes we say “I love you” when we mean “I need you.”
Sometimes we think love is fireworks — when it’s really quiet understanding.
This space is about exploring the difference — between love and what imitates it.
Love isn’t always fireworks.
Sometimes it’s quiet presence that stays when the noise fades.
Sometimes it’s providing a smile
Sometimes it’s effort, willingness to face darkness to bring forth light.
❤️ Question for you
When did you realize that something you thought was love… wasn’t?
Maybe it was attachment, passion, safety — or even dopamine.
There’s no wrong answer. Just honesty. 🌿
