people think that intimacy is about sex.
but intimacy is about truth.
when you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is “you’re safe with me”—that’s intimacy.
📚🔔 Tatil zili çaldı!
Bir yıl boyunca verilen emeklerin ardından şimdi dinlenme, keşfetme ve yeni maceralara atılma zamanı. 🌞
Bu yaz bol kahkahalı, bol anılı ve elbette bol kitaplı geçsin. Tüm öğrencilere keyifli tatiller diliyoruz! 💙📖
“i hope you know by now that all of your secrets are safe with me,” celia said as she started unbuttoning it to put it on.
i think for her it was a throwaway line. but it meant a lot to me. not because she said it, i suppose. but because when she said it, i realized i believed her.
“i do,” i said. “i do know that.”
they might not even realize they thought as much. but they would read something like this, and the next time one of my pictures came out, they’d think to themselves that there was something about me they never liked, they just couldn’t put their finger on it.
people don’t find it very sympathetic or endearing, a woman who puts herself first.
it struck me as painfully naive, the way she so easily, so readily believed me. i was telling the truth, but still.
