A Glimpse Inside the Book That Might Shift Something in You

 

No one teaches us that love can start to hurt quietly.  

Not through shouting or betrayal, but through small, invisible sacrifices we make every day in the name of closeness.

You cancel a plan. You silence a thought. You swallow a feeling.  

And slowly, the person you were begins to fade — replaced by someone more agreeable, more available, more “lovable.”  

But at what cost?

Love isn’t meant to cost you *you*.

If being close to someone means abandoning your own needs, your voice, your space — then that closeness is too close.

You don’t have to disappear to be loved.  

The real kind of love — the one that feels like peace, not pressure — it won’t ask you to shrink.  

It will sit beside you while you take up your space fully.

And if you’ve never felt that kind of love before, this book might be your beginning.
