✨Real Love vs. Programmed Love
The world has taught us a distorted version of love. We are told that love is sacrifice. That love is staying no matter how unhappy you are. That love is abandoning yourself in order to keep another comfortable. But this isn’t love. It’s programming. This is why so many devote themselves — not to love — but to self-rejection. This is why generations stay in relationships that are lifeless, miserable, even hostile… while calling it devotion. Containment dressed up as love is not love. Abandoning your own soul is not devotion. Rejecting yourself to belong is not connection. That’s why so many cannot recognize real love when they see it. Because real love is presence. Real love is freedom. Real love is devotion without condition, without convenience, without self-betrayal. 💎 Real love does not ask you to abandon yourself. It asks you to remember yourself. Love is not a burden. Love is not weakness. Love is the greatest strength you can carry, because it refuses to live inside the box of programming. 💡 Reflection for you: Where have you mistaken programming for love? And what does real love — free, sovereign, unconditional — look like for you?
