during a time in your life when you really needed something (for whatever reason), what would you have said if you could’ve? What *did* you say?
me: as i’ve become more and more vulnerable these past few months–the one thing that keeps popping up: I want to be held.
Not in a sexual way. Not in a “relationship” way (i.e. husband holding wife, mother holding child, etc). In a being interacting with a being way.
I want to feel another person’s energy interacting with my own–in a way that is not verbal, in a way that demands nothing, in a way that does not have imposed identity values written on it (a mother is a mother, and thus she holds a child *like this*.)
Just human energy (heat, life, perspiration, breath etc) intertwining with human energy.
On my terms.
what about you?

I want to be walked through the step of doing what needs to be done. I need to be guided the whole way, and I need to be told it’s going to be okay.

Affirmation and reassurance. And someone to help me let go of my ever-growing list of resentments, against others and myself.
