"It can't be all about you". 💯

That's the part people always forget, even when they're healing. Like, they learn to speak up for themselves and then forget the other person is also struggling. 😅

Yes. Chronic lack of empathy seems to always be an issue.

This is absolutely spellbinding. You have beautifully captured the anatomy of an intense connection the intoxicating rush of finding a "home in someone else's skin," the friction of old patterns setting each other off, and ultimately, the quiet, heartbreaking clarity of the ending. The transition from that feverish, cosmic longing to the grounded truth that “no one can just know” hits incredibly hard. It’s raw, vulnerable, and deeply resonant.
