I Never Loved You, It Was Just Limerence

Why you only think you’ve been in love

Confession: I’ve never truly been in love. I’ve definitely thought I was in love. I’ve even said those three little words. But the people I’ve felt love for didn’t actually exist. None of them were real people. They were idealized versions of what stood before me. A fantasy, loosely based on reality.
