Drowning in Affection

there’s an artless compassion in sincerity

By Love Odessa Published 8 months ago 1 min read

Love bombing,

whether romantic or platonic,

is strategic manipulation.

The intimacy of trust

is an innocence unlike any other—

a wholehearted,

genuine vulnerability

of guiltless honesty.

Simple,

plain,

and true.

It doesn’t take a prodigy.

There’s an artless compassion

in sincerity.
