So many relationships break not from lack of love, but from too much pretending. 💔
Here’s how you can stop pretending and start healing:
🌱 1. Speak your truth, gently.
Communicate what you actually feel — not what you think they want to hear.
👀 2. Stop playing roles.
You don’t need to be the “perfect partner” or “strong one” all the time. Be human.
🧘♀️ 3. Sit with discomfort.
Healing conversations aren’t always comfortable — but they are worth it.
📖 4. Journal your real emotions.
Writing helps you process what you’re too scared to say out loud.
✨ Start with one small step today — choose honesty over habit.
