What I Wish People Knew Before Loving Me

-

(Please read this before you decide I’m “too much”)


I wish people knew that loving me is not a casual activity.


This is not a hobby.

This is not a side quest.

This is not something you try when you’re bored and abandon when it gets inconvenient.


Loving me requires presence. And patience. And emotional honesty.

And yeah, sometimes it requires sitting in discomfort instead of running the fuck away.


I Feel Everything. All the Damn Time.

I don’t feel things halfway.

I don’t “brush things off.”

I don’t “just move on.”


When I love, I love with my whole chest. When I hurt, it’s seismic. When I’m scared, my nervous system lights up like a fucking Christmas tree on fire.


If you pull away, I feel it.

If your tone changes, I feel it.

If you go quiet, my brain fills in the blanks with absolute horror movie bullshit.


I am not dramatic.

I am attuned.

My Fear of Abandonment Is Not a Character Flaw 🖤

I wish people knew that when I panic about being left, it’s not manipulation.


It’s terror.


It’s my body remembering every time love disappeared without warning. Every time stability turned out to be temporary. Every time I trusted someone and they vanished like it meant nothing.


So when you say “I need space” and don’t explain?

My brain hears “I’m done with you.”


And I fucking hate that about myself. I really do.

I Need Reassurance, Not Mind Games

Please don’t play hot-and-cold with me.

Please don’t punish me with silence.

Please don’t expect me to read your mind and then get mad when I can’t.


If you care, say it.

If you’re upset, communicate it.

If you need space, tell me you’re coming back.


Consistency calms me.

Uncertainty destroys me.


It’s that simple. And that hard.

Sometimes I Will Push You Away While Begging You to Stay 💔



This is the part I’m most ashamed of.


Sometimes I’ll test you.

Sometimes I’ll shut down.

Sometimes I’ll get angry when I’m actually terrified.


Sometimes I’ll say “fine, leave” while internally screaming “please don’t fucking leave me.”


It’s not because I want chaos.

It’s because my brain learned that love leaves, so I try to control the exit.


I’m working on it. I really am.

But healing doesn’t erase instincts overnight.

I Am Not Easy, But I Am Worth It


Let’s be honest.


Loving me is not simple.

I come with triggers. I come with emotions. I come with days where I’m exhausted just from existing.


But I also come with:


  • loyalty that doesn’t waver
  • love that is deep and intentional
  • empathy that runs oceans deep
  • a heart that will choose you over and over again



I will show up. I will fight for connection. I will love you in ways that are real and raw and unforgettable.


If you’re looking for convenient love, I’m not your girl.

Please Don’t Try to Fix Me 🔥

I am not a project.

I am not a before-and-after story.

I am not broken furniture you get to repair for character development.


Support me.

Listen to me.

Learn with me.


But don’t treat me like something that needs correcting before it deserves love.


I am healing while loving.

Not after.

When I Get Quiet, I’m Usually Overwhelmed


Silence doesn’t always mean I don’t care.


Sometimes it means I’m drowning in thoughts.

Sometimes it means I’m trying not to explode.

Sometimes it means I’m choosing not to say something I’ll regret.


Check in instead of assuming.

Ask instead of withdrawing.

Stay curious instead of cold.

Loving Me Means Loving All of Me 🖤


Not just the fun parts.

Not just the affectionate parts.

Not just the easy days.


It means loving:


  • my sensitivity
  • my intensity
  • my trauma responses
  • my softness
  • my strength
  • my mess



If you only want me when I’m calm, healed, and convenient…

you don’t actually want me.

And Please Know This 💛

I am not trying to be difficult.

I am not trying to exhaust you.

I am not trying to push you away.


I am trying to love and not lose myself in the process.

I am trying to trust without fear swallowing me whole.

I am trying to unlearn survival while building connection.


Some days I do that beautifully.

Some days I fuck it up.


But I am always trying.


If You Choose to Love Me


Please be honest.

Please be consistent.

Please be gentle when I’m raw.


And if you can’t do that, that’s okay. Truly.


Just don’t stay halfway.

Don’t promise safety and deliver distance.

Don’t say you understand and then disappear when it gets heavy.


I’ve survived enough almost-love to last a lifetime.


— Morgan, All of Me


“I am not too much. I am just asking for a love that doesn’t leave when things get real.” 🖤🔥

When the Weight Starts To Feel Too Heavy

-
Hey.... I've been sitting here staring at this blank screen for longer than I want to admit. It's funny - well, not funny - but strange, how I can feel so full of thoughts and yet have no idea how to begin putting any of them into words. My mind feels like a room filled with laundry piles I keep meaning to fold, but every time I turn around, more clothes are thrown aside. Eventually you stop trying to organize them, and you just sit in the middle of the mess, hoping no one opens the door.  That's kind of where I'm at right now.  Sitting in the middle of the mess.  Tired. Overwhelmed. A little bit numb. and very, very human.  The truth is... Life has been really rough lately. I mean the kind of rough that makes you wake up already exhausted, like you ran a marathon in your sleep.  The kind where your chest feels tight for no clear reason, and every day you're just trying to convince yourself you're fine enough to function. I've been moving on autopilot - resp...

You Are Not Too Much — You’re Carrying A Lot

-
If you’re reading this, I want you to pause for just a moment. Unclench your jaw. Drop your shoulders. Take one slow breath in—and let it out gently. You don’t need to be strong here. I know how easy it is to believe you’re “too much.” Too emotional. Too sensitive. Too intense. Too broken. Too complicated. Especially if you’ve spent your life being misunderstood, dismissed, or told that your pain makes other people uncomfortable. But I need you to hear this clearly: You are not too much. You are someone who has been through a lot. There is a difference. When you’ve lived through trauma, your nervous system learns to protect you in ways that don’t always look pretty. When you live with mental illness, your brain processes the world differently—not wrong, just differently. When you’ve had to survive instead of being cared for, your reactions make sense, even if others don’t understand them yet. Nothing about that makes you unlovable. Healing is not a straight line. S...

Borderline Is Loving Like a Wound and Being Punished For Bleeding

-
Living with Borderline Personality Disorder feels like being born without skin. Everything touches you too hard. Everything hurts deeper than it should. Everything matters more than you want it to. And then people look at you and ask why you’re “so dramatic,” why you “overreact,” why you “can’t just calm down.” As if you wouldn’t give anything to feel less. BPD isn’t a personality flaw. It’s not being manipulative. It’s not being toxic for fun. It’s not attention-seeking. It’s a nervous system that learned, very early on, that love is unstable and abandonment is inevitable. It’s what happens when attachment and trauma collide and set up permanent residence in your chest. It’s loving like your life depends on it—because somewhere deep inside, it always has. People love to describe BPD from the outside. Mood swings. Fear of abandonment. Intense relationships. Impulsivity. Emotional dysregulation. Cool. Clinical. Neat. That tells you absolutely nothing about what it’s li...
