Why loving the ocean doesn't mean you have to drown

Author

Just because
you love the ocean
doesn’t mean
you have to drown in it.

You can admire its depth.

You can stand at the shore.

You can feel the waves
without losing yourself in them.

Loving something
doesn’t mean sacrificing
your ability to breathe.

Sometimes
the healthiest love
is knowing
how close you should stand.

was there one moment that made you realize you were drowning, or was it something that slowly built up over time?

ove wasn't enough if i was constantly anxious and drained. i still cared about them, i just stopped paying for that love with my own peace.

i stayed way too long because i thought love meant giving more of myself every time things got hard. i finally left when i realized i couldn't even recognize myself anymore.
