"There is always one unique, singular individual that holds the key to everything beautiful in this world."
Reading this was intense. I am close to someone who does exactly this repeatedly. The extreme idealization, projecting desired qualities from minor interactions, a dream of a life together. I didn't even know it was called limerence. I just thought she was unhealthily romantic.
Wow, brilliant article. I traveled so much the same path, including how to finally break free from this painful jail where the only prison keeper was me. I’m glad you got to the other side. My hope is everybody stuck in this bondage like this does 💜
