You Can Love Someone and Still Lose Them (Here’s How Not To)

In this episode, I sit down with something tender:

the truth that love, on its own, isn’t always enough.

I talk about what happens when someone says they love you—

but still lets you slip through their hands.

When you’re showing up with your whole heart,

and they’re only half-listening.

When the connection is still there,

but the effort isn’t.

We’ll go there.

To the ghosting. The almosts. The timing that never aligned.

To the quiet heartbreak that doesn’t come with closure.

To the days you spend loving someone in silence

because you don’t know how to stop.

I’m also sharing what it feels like when the past reappears—

softer, unexpected, familiar—

and healing happens in a way you didn’t see coming.

This episode is about loving someone who didn’t love you the way you needed.

It’s about grieving people who are still alive.

It’s about the ache of holding space for someone

who didn’t hold it for you.

It’s for the ones who are exhausted from caring.

For the ones still writing poems in the dark

and pretending they’re fine.

For the ones who love too much,

and still believe that’s not a flaw.

Maybe you can love someone and still lose them.

But maybe you don’t have to lose yourself in the process.

This one’s for you.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
