Loved Like a Burden

They called it love.But it came with rules.With fear.With shame.You learned early how to shrink.How to stay small enough not to upset them.How to hold your breath so their anger wouldn’t find you.Their love wasn’t safety — it was survival.Every hug came with conditions.Every compliment felt temporary.Every moment of peace could break at any second.And now, even as an adult, you flinch at love.You question kindness. You brace for pain.This episode is for the ones who carry the scars of love that never felt safe.For the ones who still feel like they have to earn what should have been freely given.For the ones still haunted by the weight of love that hurt more than it healed.If that’s you…Sit with me.Let’s finally speak the words you were never allowed to say.contact me✉: [email protected]
