Original Advice

DO: Schedule quality time and solo recharge time.

Closeness Without The Grip

Your devotion turns possessive when you run on empty and grasp for proof. Clinging isn’t romance; it’s control dressed as care. Stop hovering. Book time with them, then book time with yourself. Put your phone down. Let the silence work. Without solo recharge, you flood their shore and resent the retreat. Choose rhythm over panic. Schedule both, keep both, protect both.

You merge by default, then feel lost, so you tighten your grip. That spiral ends when you treat time like oxygen. Quality time is the inhale: presence, eye contact, two chairs, one plan. Solo time is the exhale: no notifications, a bath, errands, your own pace. Boundaries stop the undertow. When you refill privately, you stop counting their breaths.

Cosmic Context

As mutable water, you dissolve edges; Neptune fogs where you end. A calendar is your container, turning tides into a tidepool instead of a flood.
