“Do you think it would be possible for anyone to love you if they could see every single thing you do?鈥� And I watch them cringe as though I鈥檝e reached out and struck them. 鈥業鈥檓 serious,鈥� I say. 鈥業magine that everyone could see everything. Every secret, every base physical ejection, every category of porn you鈥檝e ever looked at in a kind of coma when you鈥檙e numb to the normal stuff. Think about it all. Every moment of shame, of desperation 鈥� do you really think anyone could love you still? Anyone at all?鈥� 3 I remember what it was like when I first loved Ciaran, before he left me that first time at Christmas, when I鈥檇 miss him so much when he went anywhere.”

“People think that intimacy is about sex. 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.”
