SHE LEARNED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND ATTACHMENT She once held on because she was afraid to lose. Afraid of being alone. Afraid of starting again. But healing taught her something powerful: attachment asks you to endure, love allows you to breathe. Now she doesn't cling to what drains her. She doesn't chase reassurance. She doesn't stay where effort feels one-sided. She chooses love that feels safe, connections that feel mutual, and a life that doesn't require her to abandon herself to belong.
