Chasing

 Whoever needs to hear this: You're 

not chasing them because you love

them. You're chasing them because,

deep down, you're still trying to prove

to yourself that you're worth

choosing. It's no accident that you

keep finding yourself with people who

can't fully show up -- your nervous

system is replaying an old pattern,

mistaking familiarity for love.

When they distance themselves, you

feel the ache of withdrawal. When

they come back, even for a moment,

that rush of relief...That's dopamine,

not love. You're addicted to the cycle

of their validation. 

Here's the hard truth: If it's driven by

fear, it's not love. This isn't about

them, it's about the part of you that

still believes love is something you

have to earn.
