Hi, I’m Grace — and I spent 9 years in a relationship that felt like waiting.

Waiting for more closeness.

Waiting for emotional safety.

Waiting for my partner to finally meet me where I was.

I tried to be easy to love.

I silenced my needs, softened my voice, and convinced myself that if I just gave a little more, things would get better.

There were moments of connection — just enough to hold onto hope.

But most of the time, I felt invisible. Unmet. Like love was always just out of reach.

I questioned myself constantly.

Am I too much?

Too emotional?

Too demanding?

The truth is — I was starving for intimacy, but pretending I was fine.

And that pretending slowly broke me.

The turning point came when I stopped trying to earn love…

and started learning how to honor my own heart.

I’m not here as a coach or expert. I’m just someone who’s lived it — deeply.

And I share my story for anyone who’s ever felt anxious, unseen, or stuck in a love that hurts more than it heals.

You’re not alone.

And you don’t have to keep losing yourself to hold on to someone else.
