You've loved before.
And in the loving, you disappeared.
You gave until you were empty.
You adjusted until you were unrecognisable.
You made yourself small so the relationship could feel big.
But you're learning something new.
Love does not require self-erasure.
Closeness does not mean losing your boundaries.
Commitment does not mean abandoning your own soul.
You can be close and still be yourself.
You can give generously without being depleted.
You can love completely without losing your centre.
This week, practise closeness without self-abandonment.
Stay present. Stay open.
But also stay yourself.
The people who are safe to love
will not ask you to disappear.
And the love that is real
will make you more yourself, not less.
