I don’t feel emotionally hunted here

Dear Delyara, I did not know until recently how much of what I once called love also felt like emotional pursuit in the wrong sense — confusion, inconsistency, hyper-awareness, trying to decode what was withheld. What I feel now is so different. Less hunted. More held. Less activated. More softened. Less guessing. More clarity. I think that is one of the deepest forms of love now: the kind that does not ask your nervous system to work overtime in order to remain connected.
