Hate draws lines. Love dissolves them

When someone hates you, you see it coming. It's loud, it's pointed, it makes itself known. But love? Love sneaks in with a smile, asks you to let your guard down, and then rearranges your entire identity when you're not looking.

You will never cancel a dream for someone you hate. You won't betray your values, lose sleep, or change your plans for someone you despise. Hate is often a boundary—messy but clear. Love, on the other hand, can blur everything. You'll say yes when you mean no, stay when you want to leave, and sacrifice more than you can afford.

It's not the shouting that breaks you. It's the silence you sit through so the other person doesn't feel uncomfortable. It's the compromises you make, not because they're right but because you care. It's watching yourself vanish, inch by inch, under the weight of someone else's happiness.

Love makes us vulnerable. That's its brilliance. And also its danger.

Because in love, you often hand over the very tools someone else could use to undo you. You trust. You give. You open. And when that love turns, fades, or walks away, it doesn't just leave—you have to rebuild the version of you that once felt whole with them in it.

So no, hate isn't the most destructive force. It's love—when misaligned, unreciprocated, or misplaced—that can quietly dismantle you from within.
