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.

Just because someone looks fine on the outside, doesn’t mean they aren’t breaking inside. Strong doesn’t mean invincible. It just means you’re good at hiding the parts that hurt.

  • Asking for help is not weakness

Save This For The Days You Feel Invisible

You are not alone, even when it feels like it. Someone out there cares, even if they haven’t shown it yet. And you’re doing so much better than you think.
