Behind the Gestures

May 27, 2025

We’re all performers, in some way. We know the script—sweet words, kind gestures, well-timed affection. It’s easy to mistake that performance for love.

But real love? Real connection? It’s not the curated highlight reel. It’s the behind-the-scenes. The unfiltered, unpretty, raw self.

The screenshot says it best: love that matters isn’t a checklist—it’s a mirror. It reflects your fears, patterns, and vulnerability. It demands all of you, not just the parts you think are lovable.

So next time you feel love, ask yourself—am I being seen, or am I being sold to? And most importantly… am I showing up fully?

Even when it hurts?
