People often mistake the meaning of intimacy. Its about truth. When you realise you can tell someone the truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you can stand in front of them and bare your soul, and their response is “you’re safe with me”; that’s intimacy.

We look for a kind of connection people write stories about, the kind you never think you’ll find again in one lifetime. Baring your soul becomes easy, and knowing them is like reading your favourite book, one new chapter at a time. We chase the ones with sunflower souls; the ones who always chase the light no matter how dark it gets.

Those ‘once in a lifetime’ people, they never ask you to be perfect. They never ask you to be anyone but your true authentic self. They’ll provide comfort for you to show the parts of you that hurt the most, in order to know where to love you the hardest.

Maybe no one will see it, maybe everyone will, but because of them, flowers are able to bloom in our hearts again. And just like the sunflowers do when the sun is missing, they find each other, and allow the other to chase the light, especially when it seems the darkest outside 🌻
