Gaslight to Gold Series: “Can I ever love again?”

“Can I ever love again?”

Maybe you’ve asked it quietly… while scrolling past a happy couple. Or screamed it into your pillow after another night of flashbacks.

Here’s the truth:

Your heart isn’t too broken to be loved. It’s just relearning safe touch.

You were conditioned to accept crumbs and call it a feast. But love, real love, won’t ask you to starve.

So if the idea of trusting again feels terrifying… That doesn’t mean you’re unlovable. It means your body remembers pain. And it's trying to protect you.

And that’s not wrong.

Healing love doesn’t rush. It listens. It honors your pace.

And you, wild wolf, are learning to love yourself that way first.

Here's a reframe for your heart:

“I don’t need to rush into love. I need to remember what love actually feels like.”

Practice this: Place your hand on your chest. Speak softly to yourself:

“I am lovable. I am safe. I get to choose who enters my life.”

One day, love won’t feel like chaos or confusion. It will feel like home.

And you’ll recognize it because you became it first.

From gaslight to gold

You are not too far gone. You are just arriving.
