I think we all long for someone like that. Somewhere to belong. Someone to be a part of. I truly hope you find that person (if you haven’t already).

β€œthe secrets resting at the bottom of my notes” got me. that’s the kind of intimacy people pretend they want but are too scared to hold.

Mandy's avatar

Yes!!! Exactly! And I think that for people who love writing, their notes are a peek into their minds!!

This captures the need to be known in all the small, unglamorous ways so clearly. It reads like a checklist for real intimacy, not performance.

Just be careful, someone like that may also poke at your weaknesses to try to help you become stronger, and/or push you uncomfortably to try to help you achieve your dreams and goals.

Try not to bite them for it, they aren’t judging you, they are trying to help. (as one who has been there)
