Losing A Forbidden Flower !full!

The forbidden flower made your real life feel dull by comparison. That is the addiction of the taboo. Start small. Make your coffee with attention. Notice the warmth of your cat. Re-engage in a hobby you neglected during the secret affair. You are retraining your brain to find dopamine in the allowed world again.

I wrote Losing A Forbidden Flower because I was tired of stories that glorify the affair or demonize the temptation. I wanted to write the after . The quiet Tuesday mornings. The ghost limb of a text message that will never come. The way a specific scent in a grocery store can still, years later, split you open. Losing A Forbidden Flower
