The Kind of Safety I Was Really Looking For

For years, I thought I was searching for love and companionship, but I was really searching for a deeper sense of safety—the feeling that I didn't always have to carry everything alone. Through grief, nature, and learning to stay present with myself, I've discovered that safety can grow within us. And if love finds me again, I won't be looking for someone to complete me, but someone to walk beside me. ✨
