Held Me Too Tight

By Jade McGuirt

It started with good intentions.
Doesn't it always?

Lucy Quinn thought she'd finally found something steady - a quiet kind of love that didn't demand, didn't hurt, didn't leave. He was kind, attentive, everything everyone said she needed. He texted good morning before sunrise, remembered the smallest details, made her feel seen. Wanted. Chosen.

But love can hold on too tightly. What begins as care can slowly become control. Safe isn't the same as good. And the more she tries to breathe, the closer he clings.

Told through a blend of narrative and real journal entries, Held Me Too Tight is an intimate portrait of a woman learning to recognize the difference between love and possession, comfort and control, silence and safety. Raw, haunting, and ultimately empowering, this story is for anyone who has ever felt trapped inside something that called itself love - and for everyone learning that healing means learning to breathe again.

Sometimes love holds too tightly, and you forget how to breathe.
