PART 4: Hurt People Date Other Hurt People

Quote: “Love can’t fix what shadow work avoids.” 💔🪞

Category: Conscious Love | Emotional Healing | Relationship Reflection

Let’s talk about it, babe 💋—
Sometimes the heartbreak didn’t come from cruelty…
It came from two unhealed souls trying to love while drowning in their own pain 🌊.

Two people, both bleeding, both aching, both desperate to feel whole… trying to patch each other up with bandages made of trauma 🩹.

That wasn’t love.
That was survival.
That was chaos dressed up as chemistry 🧨.
That was calling emotional whiplash “passion” and ignoring every red flag because you didn’t want to be alone 🚩.

But baby, you’re not here to fix anyone.
You’re not responsible for healing their inner child while neglecting your own 👶🏽💔.

You don’t have to confuse intensity with intimacy.
You don’t have to keep choosing lovers who trigger your wounds instead of tending to them 💥➡️💗.

You’re allowed to want safe love 🕊️.
Love that doesn’t yell to be heard.
Love that doesn’t disappear when it gets hard.
Love that feels like a soft exhale, not a battlefield 🛏️ not a war zone.

You’re allowed to want peace over passion, consistency over chaos, presence over potential 🙏🏽✨.

Because baby, love should feel like coming home to yourself, not abandoning yourself to keep someone else 🏡❤️‍🔥.

Interactive Reflection Time ✍🏽📓:

1. What patterns in love have I been calling “my type,” but are actually my trauma bonds?
   (List them. Call them out. Rewrite the narrative.) 🚩🔁

2. What did I believe I had to “fix” in others to prove I was lovable?
   (And what would love look like without that pressure?) 💔➡️💗

3. What does safe, peaceful love look and feel like for me?
   (Paint the full picture: How do you talk? How do you show up? How do you feel?) 🛋️💌💗

No more chaos. No more convincing. No more bleeding for connection.
