An Ode to Platonic Devotion

The sacred art of mutual reverence. It’s not about possession or performance, it’s about recognition. I want people who meet me in that space where self-love radiates so brightly, it draws others in like moths with good taste.

Platonic devotion is the kind of connection where someone looks at you like you’re a constellation they finally learned the name of, and they’re not trying to own the stars, they’re just honored to bask in the light.

Romance doesn’t have to mean candlelit dinners and tortured sonnets. It can mean eye contact that feels like safety. It can be laughter that feels like belonging. Just a shared admiration that doesn’t need permission to exist.

I’m not seeking to be worshiped, or to achieve some kind of celebrity. I’m inviting others to rise to the temple of mutual awe… and bask in it.

I’m looking for people

who match the obsession I have with myself

~

That’s a reflection I want to see

~

It’s no one’s job

to satisfy me

~

I’m incredibly aware

I am happily satisfying myself

on the regular

~

I just think

it would be fun

to experience that kind of love

from someone else

~

Not in a romantic way

Just a

“My God she’s stunning in every way and loving her feels like loving myself.”

Kinda way

Is that too much to ask?

I guess my definition of romance

might be skewed

~

romance to me

feels like home

and safety

and comfort

~

The vibe I’m talking about is like…

Platonic Devotion

Not because I feel like I deserve some kind of trophy or pedestal

but because I fucking love myself

~

I want to see reflections

of that love I’ve found within myself.

~

Yeah?

Whatever

I know what I mean lol
