We've been taught that love is supposed to feel intense. The butterflies. The uncertainty. The emotional highs and lows. The can't-eat, can't-sleep, can't-stop-thinking-about-them kind of connection.

But what if some of what we're calling chemistry is actually unpredictability?

In this episode of Taboo Tea, we're unpacking the difference between intensity and intimacy, why healthy relationships can feel "boring" at first, and how social media, movies, and pop culture have convinced many of us that chaos is a prerequisite for love.

Because sometimes the spark isn't compatibility.
Sometimes it's anxiety.

Pour your tea. We're getting into it!
