detachment isn’t a clean break. it’s sitting in your room, realizing you deleted their number but still remember it by heart. it’s knowing they’re not coming back, but your body still flinches at every notification. healing feels like betrayal when your heart still waits.
Gaslighting is when someone repeatedly triggers your nervous system and harms your mental health. They purposefully provoke you then play the victim card by blaming you once you react to their toxic behaviour, but they will never discuss their disrespect that triggered you.
Being with someone you click with so naturally is the best feeling ever. You feel like you've been best friends your whole life. You're so comfortable with them. Maybe that's what a soulmate is. Not someone who shares everything in common with you but someone who feels like home.
non s*xual intimacy!!!! bathing together, washing each other, playing with each other's hair, kissing every inch of their body, writing love letters on their back with your finger, connecting their moles and freckles to create constellations on their skin.
