# Love & Attachment

Longing, dependence, tenderness, trauma bonds, and why leaving someone does not always mean love has ended.

These essays sit with the part nobody knows what to do with: the love that remains after the facts should have killed it. They are about loneliness, birthdays, waiting, desire, attachment, and the human habit of reaching again after the hand has been burned.
