In the Shadow of Limerence

fariha is one of the most talented essayists i've had the pleasure of knowing: her work around wellness (especially unpacking colonial violence in the wellness space), trauma, and identity is especially powerful to me

her essay on limerence and obsession and how it relates to trauma—particularly in childhood—hits hard. she handles the subject with so much care and vulnerability. if you've ever been crushed by a crush, definitely read this
