Your nervous system is not a soulmate detector. Attraction can come from recognition, not alignment. A chaotic dynamic often feels powerful when your body learned early on that love had to be earned, chased or emotionally survived.

That’s why calm can feel unfamiliar at first. Why consistency seems “boring.” Why unpredictability gets mistaken for depth. Real connection doesn’t leave you emotionally decoding someone’s behavior every day. It doesn’t pull you away from yourself.

You were never asking for too much. You just spent too long trying to build intimacy with people who could only meet you in fragments. There’s a difference.

There Is No Place Like You: The Yellow Brick Illusion is available on Amazon.
