💔 Part 2: Love vs. Attachment — Are You Falling In Love or Falling Into a Pattern?
🥀 Introduction:
Let’s unpack the tea that nobody wants to sip…
Is it love—or are you just attached to how it makes you feel?
So many of us confuse being deeply connected with being deeply seen. But baby, not all connections are sacred. Some are trauma. Some are ego. Some are lessons dressed in lust. In this chapter, we’re getting real about one of the most soul-shaking truths:
You can be madly attached to someone who was never meant to love you.
Yep. Let that sit for a second.
This post? It’s about learning the difference between love and attachment, so you stop confusing pain with passion, chaos with chemistry, and being needed with being cherished.
❤️ What Is Love, Actually?
Let’s break down what real love feels like:
Safe
Seen
Expansive
Reciprocal
Rooted in choice, not need
Soft even during hard seasons
Real love doesn’t make you question your worth. It doesn’t keep you guessing. It doesn’t rely on mind games, breadcrumbs, or high highs followed by brutal lows.
Real love is stable—not boring.
Consistent—not obsessive.
Healing—not triggering.
🤯 What Is Attachment?
Attachment is what happens when your nervous system gets hooked on someone who triggers your abandonment wounds, your validation needs, or your fantasy escape from reality.
It feels like:
Obsession
Anxiety when they pull away
Constant overthinking
Trying to earn love through proving or pleasing
Feeling like you’ll die without them (even if they treat you like trash)
That ain’t love, baby—that’s survival mode disguised as romance.
💥 Let’s Go There: Real Examples
LOVE is:
🪞They respect your boundaries, even when they don’t benefit from them.
📆 They show up—not just for dates, but for deep conversations and real healing.
❤️ They love the version of you that isn’t always pretty or polished.
ATTACHMENT is:
👻 They disappear and come back, and you call it “chemistry.”
🧩 You lose pieces of yourself trying to fit into their chaos.
🎢 You feel addicted to the highs and crushed by the lows.
💭 Interactive Check-In: Is It Love or Attachment?
Answer YES or NO to the following:
I feel peaceful when I think about our connection.
I can be my full self around this person.
I don’t overthink or walk on eggshells around them.
I trust their words and their actions.
Our connection makes me grow, not shrink.
✨ If you answered YES to 4–5: Baby, that’s love or at least something sacred.
✨ If you answered YES to 2–3: Reflect deeper—something might be off.
✨ If you answered YES to 0–1: It’s likely attachment, not love. Be honest with your soul.

🔥 Tea Time: Red Flags That It’s Attachment
Let’s sip. If these are hitting, you might be in an attachment loop:
You can’t breathe without hearing from them.
You ignore how they treat you because the potential feels so good.
You romanticize pain and call it "deep love."
You’re constantly triggered, then soothed, then triggered again.
You only feel worthy when they’re validating you.
And let’s be real—sometimes we call these soulmates. But a soulmate would never leave you broken.
🧘♀️ Healing From Attachment Wounds
The truth? If you're addicted to chaos, it’s because you were raised around it or taught it was normal. This isn't your fault—but it is your responsibility to shift.
💋 Repeat after me:
“I no longer confuse adrenaline with affection.”
“I release the people who feel like emotional rollercoasters.”
“I attract peace, clarity, and love that feels like home.”
💖 Real Love Begins Where Attachment Ends
The moment you stop needing someone to validate your existence… that’s when true love has room to enter.
Because real love doesn’t demand that you shrink, beg, or chase.
Real love meets you where you are—and rises with you.
💌 Final Affirmation:
“I release attachment dressed in love and call in a connection that’s honest, reciprocal, and safe. I no longer confuse survival patterns with soul partnerships.”
