@deeploneliness_: because that kind of wanting is different. it’s not based on excitement, convenience, or needing attention in a good mood. it’s when your social battery is gone, your mind is exhausted, and the entire world feels overwhelming… but their presence still feels comforting instead of draining. that’s intimacy in its purest form. when you’re tired, you don’t have energy to perform, impress, or force connection. so the people you still crave in those moments are usually the ones who feel safe to your nervous system. the ones whose presence feels like rest instead of work. and honestly, that says more about a connection than any grand romantic gesture ever could.

my aunt who never talks about this stuff randomly sent me a link to book The Silent Dominion by D. Cross and just said "read this." no context nothing. i read it in two days and now i understand why she didn't wanna explain over text. the way D. Cross breaks down how systems of control actually operate is insane. not insane like crazy. insane like why doesn't everyone know this

sara :

I’m afraid I’ll never feel like this again

THISS. I just want to be in my mans skin.

g babe ~~ 🔱 ~~ :

Never felt this and I completely agree with it! On those hard exhausting days all you want is your comfort person to crash with. It is the purest form of intimacy. Not all intimacy needs to be romantic, the best kind is connection.

This is how I felt with him every time. He was my peace. But for him, I was associated with his exhaustion.

Only that person gets mad at you for not wanting to be social when you just wanna sit in silence for a bit.

I gave him all my free time even when exhausted and I was working two jobs and going to school/ paying for it. He asked me to QUIT my jobs to give him MORE time…
