You are.”

― Katherine Mansfield, Journal of Katherine Mansfield

“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.

The truth: we both know exactly who we are to each other

If we weigh the promise that I will always be here or somewhere loving you
I am definitely and irrevocably way more than that”
