“I love you” is supposed to be one of the first languages a child learns.
But what happens when the people who teach you the words also teach you to fear what comes after them?
Then love becomes something stranger.
A sound you recognize without remembering how it is supposed to feel.
That is the little girl hiding inside this line.
She is not asking whether love exists.
She is trying to remember the meaning of a sentence she has heard before.
There are wounds that do not make us stop wanting tenderness. They make tenderness feel untranslated.
So she looks toward herself carefully, almost afraid of what she might find there:
a child still waiting for those three words to mean safety.
Diaries of a Borderline keeps returning to that distance between knowing the word for love and finally learning what love is allowed to feel like.
