After trauma, love isn’t about rushing. It’s about rewiring.
🧠 Neuroscience tells us:
- Trauma keeps the amygdala (alarm system) on high alert, scanning for danger.
- Cortisol (stress hormone) stays elevated, making calm connection harder.
- But with time, safety, and consistency, the brain’s neuroplasticity allows new pathways to form — teaching the nervous system that love doesn’t have to mean pain.
That’s why I’m not in a hurry. I’m taking my time. 🌱
Because real love doesn’t demand speed. It doesn’t push past boundaries. It doesn’t confuse or play games.
✨ Safe love feels steady.
✨ Safe love gives your body room to breathe.
✨ Safe love is patient enough to wait while your heart learns trust again.
I’m not chasing intensity. I’m waiting for honesty.
I’m not rushing into chaos. I’m choosing calm.
I’m not looking for anyone. I’m waiting for the right one — the one who feels like safety, not survival. ❤️
