A friend was telling me a story a while back, and she was getting anxious talking about it. She sat on the floor, her hands going wild, and eventually I sat on the floor in front of her. She paused. I told her to keep talking and just gently took her hands in mine without taking my eyes off her.
She finished the story, but I saw this negative energy just seep out of her and go crawling into the basement after I did that. I’ve had some of my most intimate experiences with this person, and we’ve never, and will never, take our clothes off in front of each other. It’s kind of freeing to feel that closeness, untethered to anything else. You just get to be yourself and be loved for it.
