i want romance soooo bad im tired of settling for the bare minimum. I want intimacy. I want the 3am love making. I want the random looks of admiration. I want "I MISS YOU" text. I want date nights and flowers. I want reassurance. I want priority. I want love that's pure and true
my therapist said this to me, and it hit me like a brick “if it drains you, it’s not for you. love, friendships, jobs, anything meant for you will nourish you, not exhaust you. 1/2
Your obsession with trying to understand why something happened to you is what keeps you in a constant loop of overanalysing. You pick apart the situation, the person, the reasons, and then circle back to it again. This is happening because you’re struggling to accept what has actually happened. You’re struggling to sit with the reality that it broke you, that it hurt you, and you’re trying to avoid the feelings that come with that realisation.
