Love is not designed to be all-consuming. It is designed to be all-nurturing.
To assume that familial love is the space that nurtures and romantic love is the space that consumes is romanticized trauma.
There’s so much good you can do for yourself by letting go of people who anchor you to trauma.
However you can, let them go, even if it means letting a part of you go.
