You know, people like to explain things. Break them down into logic—patterns, instincts, choices.
They say connection is just about timing, chemistry, or the right combination of traits. Like it’s a formula. Like it’s something you can just turn on or turn off.
But the truth is... real connection doesn’t work like that.
It’s not found in a checklist. It’s felt—in the quiet, in the way someone looks at you when you’re not speaking. In how they stay when things get hard. In how they see you, even when you’re not at your best.
You don’t switch that kind of bond on. You don’t switch it off.
It either lives in you… or it doesn’t.
Funny how those who can’t hold love always blame the design.
