True Intimacy

True Intimacy

Many believe intimacy 

is just about sharing 

a bed, but true intimacy 

goes much deeper. 

Intimacy is finding a 

safe haven in someone's 

presence, a place where 

you can be your true self 

without fear of rejection.

It's standing before them 

without any pretense and 

hearing the reassuring words, 

"You're safe with me."

It's about opening up 

your deepest fears, 

insecurities, and 

vulnerabilities to 

someone who accepts 

you without judgment. 

It's showing the broken 

pieces of your soul and 

receiving kindness and 

love in return. 

Real intimacy means 

sharing your innermost 

thoughts, pain, past, 

and trauma, knowing they 

will listen with empathy. 

It's someone who holds 

your heart gently.

Value those who offer you 

true intimacy, for they 

will stand by you and 

remind you you're not alone.
