I Didn’t Know This Was Also Love: Reflections on the Love We Misname

What do we mean when we say we want more love? Often, we are naming a feeling without fully understanding it. Excitement and belonging. Intensity and care. >All are gathered under a single word-and confusion quietly follows. I Didn't Know This Was Also Love is a reflective exploration of how love is often misnamed-not because it is misunderstood, but because many forms of experience arrive before they are clearly recognised. Moving through energy, familiarity, absence, self-relation, and acceptance, this work stays close to moments that feel ordinary but are rarely examined. It traces how desire speaks before it knows what it is asking for, and how urgency is often mistaken for meaning. This is not a guide to relationships. It offers no techniques, advice, or steps to follow. Instead, it presents a series of recognitions-quiet clarifications of experiences that many people have already lived, but have not yet named with precision. Nothing here asks to be fixed. Nothing asks to be rushed. For readers who have sensed that something important has been happening beneath familiar words, this work offers a way to see it more clearly-and then leave it as it is. You do not need to agree with what you read here. >If at any point you find yourself thinking, "I didn't know this was also love," that will be enough.
