The Truth About Modern Love
by Catherine Josephine | The Love Priestess™

They say love is the goal.

"I have all this love to give and no one to give it to."

So you let down your guard and open your vulnerable heart 
to receive all this love...
that never comes. 

Because most of what women experience in modern dating isn’t love.
It’s confusion.
It’s inconsistency.
It’s longing wrapped in just enough affection to keep you hooked,
but never enough to make you feel secure and safe.

We were told that love would save us.
But no one told us what to do when love arrives in incomplete forms and drowns us in tears or burns us in rage.

We find out quickly that love will not save us and that we must save ourselves.

When he says "I love you" but won’t commit.

When he says you’re amazing and yet still pulls away.

When he makes you feel like you’re the one, 
the only one for him, 
a rare and valuable precious gem...
and then he disappears without a word.

This isn’t just a dating problem.
It’s a nervous system wound.
A worthiness wound.
A cultural wound.

Women are starving for depth in a world full of almosts.

Most of us are walking around unaware that our childhood wounds, fears, and tactics for survival are running our love lives and relationships. 

This Modern Dating Series Was Born From My Own Pain.
I’ve lived every truth in these words I share.

I’ve been breadcrumbed.
I’ve been the “dream girl” and still abandoned.
I’ve been called too much.
I’ve opened my heart to men who loved me but never chose me.

And for a long time, I thought the problem was me.

But now I know:
The problem isn’t that we love too much.

It’s that we keep offering that love to men who aren’t ready to hold it.

We hold our energy in our hands ready to give it away when we should keep our radiant feminine energy deep inside for our well being.

We open hearts who cannot stay.

These Are The Truths I Wish Someone Had Told Me Sooner. 

They are often veiled in songs, poetry, and Bible verses, but we cannot see what we are not yet ready to see.

And like I've shared before, I used to be the kind of artist who painted pretty pictures where none existed. 

This Modern Dating Series isn’t a guide to playing games.
This isn’t a list of dating tricks, tips, and texting scripts.

This is a reclamation
Of your self-worth.
Of your softness.
Of your sacred standards.

Because love is not rare.
Commitment is.

And you were never too much.
You were simply asking the wrong man to meet you there.

Let this series be your permission to stop settling for almost-love 
and start creating the kind of love that feels like home.

Read these truths slowly. 
Let them land. 
Let them awaken the part of you that already knows.

You're not broken. 

You're just waking up.
