Tectonic Love

A kind of love so powerful it feels like an emotional earthquake. It doesn’t just make your heart race — it shifts your entire being. You feel it in your bones, like your soul’s tectonic plates are moving to make room for someone new.

It’s rare, intense, and impossible to forget. You don’t just fall in Tectonic Love — you restructure.

Origin: Coined by writer Deepti Jethani, who describes it as “a love so strong, you feel the tectonic plates of your being shift.”
“Bro, I’m not just into her. This is full-on Tectonic Love. My whole emotional geography just changed.”

Tectonic Relationship

A relationship that's more than platonic but less than romantic. Weird limbo or middleground between friendship and love.
