#HorrorWritersChat I typically like to corrupt the protector until it become possessive and self-destructive or the healer who think they're helping but really they're harming or enabling until it's too late to turn back.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️⚧️
But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold.
So take care of yourself.
Your soul is beautiful.
