“If you are limiting your experiences of intimacy only to containers labeled sex and romance, you are entirely missing out. ��
��
Love your friends with wild abandon. Cultivate life partnerships with humans you’ll never know sexually. Dive deep into a love affair that doesn’t have a damn thing to do with being swept off your feet or the myth of happily ever after. ��
��
Open your eyes, your mind, and your heart to the possibility that the deep intimacy you crave does not get delivered by a rom-com meet cute. ��
��
Challenge the notion that your friendships can—and possibly should—hold the highest position in your personal hierarchy of devotion. ��
��
Consider the myriad ways you can be met, held, and known outside of our cultural obsession with romantic fairy tales. ��
��
The real hunger of your skin, your heart, and your soul, can be answered in so many different ways. If you only look for this level of connection inside of sexual and romantic love, you are missing so many beautiful possibilities.
��
Seek your people with intention. ⁠When you find them, invite them in, hold them close, and offer them your whole heart. ��

Rewrite the rule book.
Reimagine all the ways you can fill your cup of longing.��
Open yourself to platonic intimacy.”
