#112 What I Know About LOVE at 43 (That I Wish I Knew at 16) | Yana Fry

What if I told you I spent years mistaking adrenaline for love?

I grew up believing love was drama. My parents got divorced when I was a child. And something inside me has mistaken love with instability. I began to look for intensity, danger, the emotionally unavailable man - the motorbike, the butterflies.

If it felt overwhelming, I thought it must be real.

Then I got married. Three months later, my late husband got diagnosed with cancer. Love became full time caregiving. Sacrifice. Staying longer. Needing less. For 7 long years. Until I slowly disappeared inside all of it.

I didn’t know that love without boundaries turns into resentment.

For years, I searched for love outside myself - in romance, in service, in being needed. Until one quiet day, something shifted.

I realised that I am no longer broken. I am already home within myself.

This episode is my reflection at 43 on what love is and what it isn’t.
