Real love doesn’t want to hurt you
Why true love feels like safety — not survival
💔 This Week’s Truth
When someone truly loves you, their biggest fear isn’t losing you — it’s hurting you.
Because when love is real, it’s not about possession or control. It’s about protection. Consideration. Care.
The right person isn’t afraid of walking away — they’re afraid of saying something careless that leaves a mark on your heart.
🧠 What People Get Wrong
A lot of people stay in relationships where the fear of being abandoned overrides the need to feel emotionally safe.
They confuse attention with affection… intensity with intimacy.
If someone’s biggest fear is losing access to you, that’s not love — it’s self-interest.
But when someone’s first thought is about your heart? That’s love.
🛠️ This Week’s Shift
Ask yourself this:
Does this relationship make me feel safe, respected, and emotionally held?
If the answer is no—not consistently, not honestly—you deserve to investigate why.
This week:
Pay attention to how your nervous system responds around them
Notice if your feelings are handled with care, or dismissed with coldness
Remember: love shouldn’t make you feel small, anxious, or disposable
