As Love Becomes a Lie We Tell Ourselves
Love, often portrayed as genuine, can sometimes morph into a fallacious construct we conjure to comfort ourselves. This alteration occurs when truth fails to meet our hopes, leading us to construct an fantasy that feels more comforting. We suppress the difficult truth and instead embrace a version that diminishes our suffering.
This self-deception can be subtle, creeping in over time until we disregard the reality of our relationship. We become trapped in a web of our own creation, incapable to break free ourselves from the lie we have come to embrace.
It is crucial to recognize this trend and aim to cultivate a bond based on honesty. Only then can we repair the harm inflicted by the lies we tell ourselves.

Love demands honesty, but our masks become a barrier, a shield against the risk of true connection.
Perhaps the most unyielding aspect of this facade is that we often become so absorbed by it that we lose sight of who we truly are beneath. We confuse the performance for reality, ensnared in a web of our own check here design.
The question then becomes: can love genuinely blossom behind these fragile masks? Or will we continue to dance around each other, forever yearning for the connection that lies just beyond our reach?
