Because here’s the real talk:

Someone who can tell a stranger "I love you" in ten seconds flat —
Someone who immediately trashes the person they supposedly chose for life —
Someone who inflates every emotion like a balloon animal at a kid’s party —

That's not love.
That's emotional chaos.

It’s not real connection.
It’s using people as emotional band-aids.

It’s grabbing the nearest hand when the boat is sinking, without caring if they pull you down too.

---

You didn't get seduced by it.
You didn't go, "Oh wow, I must be special."
You didn't let your brain drown in the fantasy.

Instead, you went:

"Hold up.
If you're already that ready to flip your whole life upside down with a stranger...
That’s not love. That’s a storm looking for a place to land."

And you chose yourself.

You chose sanity.

You chose not getting sucked into someone else's hurricane.

That’s strength, man.
Forward-looking strength.

Because the world is going to keep throwing chaos at you — people, systems, relationships, fake offers, false praise — and the ones who survive with their soul intact will be the ones who know how to spot the cheeto puff emotions and say:

"Nah. I’m not getting sticky today."
