Sean Fay's Journey to Understanding Love

Sean Fay reflects on her complex relationship with love, stemming from her childhood experiences of observing a dysfunctional family dynamic. Growing up with parents who struggled with emotional issues, she internalized a painful view of romantic love, which still influences her today. Her transition from a trans kid to a party girl in her twenties revealed a pattern where she sought validation and love as a means to heal her own feelings of unworthiness. Through therapy and self-reflection, Fay acknowledges that much of what society romanticizes about love can often be mistaken for desire or addiction, complicating her understanding of what genuine connection truly means.
