Love.

It's the promise of warmth, comfort, and safety, isn't it?

It's a force that we're all drawn to as if we're hardwired to crave it.

And everyone deserves to be loved.

But love does have a dark side.

Choosing who we let close, who we let into the quietest,

most fragile corners of our lives,

it's a risk.

But the idea of finding someone who seems perfect

who knows just what to say,

who makes you feel seen and safe,

understood, loved,

well, that makes it all worth it, right?

But sometimes, instead of safety, we find betrayal. Sometimes, the hand you hold can be the hand that pulls you under. Love is a gamble,

and it could cost you everything.

This is Blank.

I'm your host, Corinne Vien.
