Enjoying no longer rushing intimacy. Investing in high warmth, low stakes interactions. Taking the time to earn mutual trust before moving to the next step. Letting things end if they’re meant to. Nothing and no one needs to be within reach right this second…

this is the same moon my ancestors looked at and the same rain that fell on their skin

day dreaming about warm banana bread

summer evening, windows open, a light breeze inside my room, freshly washed bedsheets, salted tomatoes on toasted bread, music playing in the background, sunshine dappled floor, wearing my summer perfume. moment of bliss

btw I am doing it afraid

btw ​I did it afraid and was rewarded beautifully

how lucky we are to return to a warm bed from the cold

subtle intimacy is so soft. knowing someone’s routine and slowly becoming a part of it. memorising favourite teas and soups and drink orders. good morning and good night texts and messy paragraphs of love written half asleep. nicknames only you know. just small things that say “look how dear you are to me.”

nothing is more intimate than someone truly understanding your mind and yearning to learn the complexities of you
