People think that intimacy is about sleeping together, but true intimacy goes far beyond the physical.
It's about sharing your deepest fears, insecurities and vulnerabilities with someone who embraces you without judgement.
Someone who holds your heart gently in their hands. Real intimacy is when you can open up your innermost thoughts, your pain, your past and your trauma to another person, knowing that they will listen with empathy and understanding.
It 's when you can reveal the broken pieces of your soul, and they respond with kindness and love. Intimacy is when you find a safe haven in someone's presence.
A place where you can be your authentic self, without fear and rejection. It's when you can stand in from of them stripped of pretenses, and reassure you with those magical words: "You're safe with me".
In a world where masks are often worn, true intimacy is a rare gem. It's a connection that transcends physical attraction, and delves deep into the essence of our humanity.
It's the bond that says: I see you for who you are, and I love you unconditionally.
So cherish those who offer you real intimacy, for they are the ones who will stand by your side through life's highs and lows, reminding you that you are never alone on this beautiful and sometimes challenging journey.
