I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud. Short version: Trauma bonding is usually described as something that happens to you, almost by accident, through unpredictable reward.

Love Is Action

Love is not a statement.

It is not a promise.

It is not a performance.

It is not the idea of care, spoken aloud and left unproven.

It is not love.

It is theatre.

And theatre, no matter how convincing, is not truth.



Love is action. Anything less is performance.
