Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident

Attachment Weaponisation: The Bond Was Never an Accident I never noticed the closeness being built. I just assumed it was love, and assumed what I owed because of it, without either of us ever saying it out loud.

I hope you forgive yourself for still caring. Some people were chapters. Some were lessons. Some were turning points. Some were storms you had to survive.

Save This For The Nights You Miss Them

Missing someone doesn’t make you weak. It makes you human. And maybe one day you’ll realise that they weren’t meant to stay—they were meant to change you.
