Happy July! Fireworks Are Cool, But Inner Peace is Louder

Once upon a time, I only chased fireworks.The kind of love that felt like a rollercoaster, unpredictable, intoxicating, and wild. I thought that’s what real love was supposed to be. Butterflies. Intensity. Obsession. Someone who took your breath away just by walking in the room.

But now?

Now I want the kind of love that lets me exhale.

The older I get, the more I realize that the spark isn't in how high the firework goes, it's in how safe you feel when the world goes quiet. Dating in your 20s shifts you. You outgrow the chaos disguised as passion. You stop looking for the person who gives you the loudest high and start looking for the one who softens your life.

We All Deserve Fireworks But Not If They Burn Us

Let’s be real, physical attraction and emotional chemistry do matter. That spark? It's a must. But it can’t be the only thing. Because sparks alone don’t pay emotional rent. They don’t help you through a bad week. They don’t hold you on the days your world feels too loud.

The kind of love I crave now is the one where sitting in silence doesn’t feel awkward, it feels like peace. It feels like coming home.

Dating Used to Be About Proving Something

We used to chase intensity. Wanting someone who made us feel wanted in all the loudest ways. A part of it was ego. A part of it was what we saw in movies. But here’s the catch, a lot of those “fireworks” came with confusion, mixed signals, anxiety, and overthinking.

Now? I want clarity.

I want a man who matches my lifestyle, elevates my mood, understands that peace is a luxury and protects it. I don’t want chaos. I want consistency. I don’t want to be impressed. I want to be understood.

Silence Is the New Spark

You know you’ve met someone special when you’re doing nothing, and it feels like everything. When you can sit on the couch, phones down, music low, and there’s no pressure to perform. No need to fill the silence. That’s when love becomes real. That’s when it becomes easy.

Fireworks are cool, but the man who doesn’t disturb your nervous system?

That’s the one.

So This July…

While the sky lights up with colors and noise, may your heart choose quiet over chaos. May you attract love that feels like a deep breath. May you never again mistake intensity for intimacy. And may you remember, sparks fade. But peace stays.

Choose the one who brings you peace, even when the world around you is loud.

Until next time, Peace 💖
