Love and codependency can be confused, but their effects on our lives are very different.
✨ Love is freedom, respect, and mutual growth. It allows us to share our life with someone without losing our essence. We love from fullness, not from need.
⚠️ Codependency, on the other hand, makes us emotionally dependent on the other. It leads us to prioritize their well-being over our own, to feel responsible for their happiness, and to fear loneliness. Instead of sharing, we cling.
How to differentiate? Ask yourself:
✔️ Can I be myself in this relationship?
✔️ Do I feel free or trapped?
✔️ Do I love from choice or from fear?
Healthy love strengthens us. Codependency drains us. Learning to differentiate them is key to building authentic and balanced relationships.
