The basics of Greek Mythology

“A Love That Stays”

Everyone talks about the kind of love that burns — the love that makes your heart race, your skin tingle, your world flip upside down.
And yes, that kind of love is beautiful.
But I think there’s something even more powerful…
A love that stays.

Not the one that explodes into your life and disappears just as quickly, leaving you staring at your ceiling at 2 a.m. asking what went wrong.
But the one that lingers. The one that shows up. The one that chooses you again and again, even when things aren’t easy, even when you’re not easy.

A love that remembers how you take your tea.
A love that texts you when they know you’re anxious, even if you didn’t say it out loud.
A love that sits with you in silence when there’s nothing to fix, just feelings to feel.
A love that doesn’t need fireworks to feel like magic.

You deserve a love that doesn’t make you question your worth.
A love that doesn’t keep you on edge, waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under you.
You deserve softness — not confusion. Effort — not excuses.

And you know what?
You don’t have to chase that kind of love.
You just have to be brave enough to stop settling for less than it.
Brave enough to believe you’re worthy of it.
Brave enough to give it to yourself first.

Because the moment you stop begging for crumbs,
The moment you start living like you are already whole,
You’ll stop attracting people who only love pieces of you.

You’ll wait for the one who wants to hold the whole thing —
The chaos, the wonder, the depth, the shadow, the light.

And that kind of love?
It’s worth everything.
It’s not always fast.
But it’s real.
And it stays.
