This really touched me. I’ve always been a lover girl too and used to lose myself completely in guys I barely knew. I’ve done things I’m not proud of just to feel chosen. For a long time I thought love was supposed to consume me. But now I’m in a healthy relationship first with myself, and then with my partner.
What helped me shift was learning to see myself as a whole person, not someone waiting to be completed. Love, at its best, is a partnership. It’s beautiful, but it’s just one part of life. There’s so much more we’re here to live for, and we all deserve to feel grounded, calm, and seen....even when no one else is watching.

You should have said something.
Limerence be dammed…you won’t find your life lived well when you’ve settled on turning love into accepted agreement of passionate comfort😆
