                                        We talk about love languages—words of affirmation, acts of service, quality time, physical touch, and receiving gifts. But before any of these can truly matter, there is one unspoken love language that forms the foundation of them all: safety.
Love is not just in the words someone says, the gifts they give, or the time they spend with you. Love is in the way they make you feel—safe in their presence, safe to be yourself, safe to rest without fear.
If you are living in a home where you do not feel safe, then love is not present. Because love does not hurt. Love does not control. Love does not walk on eggshells, shrink itself, or exist in survival mode.
Real love is a sanctuary, not a battlefield. It is the feeling of exhaling after holding your breath for too long. It is knowing that you are seen, heard, and held—not manipulated, dismissed, or afraid.
If you have never known love that feels like safety, please know: You deserve it. It exists. And you do not have to settle for anything less.
Goodnight beautiful ones, and may you always find love in the spaces where you feel safe. ꩜🕊️♥︎ Ella
