Intimacy is often confused with sex. It is misplaced in our experiences with people who don’t love us, and people we don’t love. To be intimate is to be known deeply, to be seen, to be touched without physical connection. Intimacy is to be seen without fear of judgement. It is willingness to be patient in the face of one’s mistakes, it is patience with a hidden emotion seeking daylight in a manner that you are not accustomed to. It is visiting and revisiting fears over again, until the shame of our past is met with acceptance. Intimacy without touching is something that is lost among people who can’t speak to the voice in their own head with love and compassion. Intimacy requires no hands, no physical sensation, no heightened sense of touch. Intimacy is vulnerability. #YearOfShaz #growth #understanding #emapthy #knowledgeofself
