How to Tell the Difference Between Chemistry and Connection

Because just feeling something doesn’t mean it’s something.

Earlier this week, I told the truth.

About the kind of men (or women) who light up your phone, your body, or your imagination, but never show up in real life the way they show up in your daydreams.

I talked about what happens when we confuse chemistry with connection…
when we start assigning emotional depth to someone who only gives us occasional access, vague language, or performative consistency.

It’s a hard truth to name.
Especially when you’re hoping it turns into something.
Especially when the attraction feels that strong.
Especially when the loneliness gets loud.
