Are you in love or in control?

Are you in love or in control?

Love is about liberty and freedom, but if someone’s love becomes control, it feels like being captured and caged.

When we deeply love someone, we start to feel that they only belong to us. We want to take control of their lives because we feel that only we can keep them safe or think we own them. 

When this feeling of owning someone comes to mind, we tend to forget that they are also individuals. No matter how much two people love each other, they can never grow and flourish unless they are given their own space.

Love deeply but don’t capture your loved one in that depth. Your love should make someone feel limitless, and they should be able to explore the world on their own.
