You have to find it within yourself first

I have actually. Which led to the last part of me contemplating what does intimacy look like as I’m reimagining the love I would like to share with someone. I think that is self love to reflect on what hasn’t worked and my body being able to send singles to affirm my intuition of what didn’t feel good and what does. Thanks for reading!

Yes yes yes I feel so seen - I’ve always experienced what I called “meeting my soulmate in a dream” but I’ve never had anyone know what I’m talking about or the intensity of the feelings

Cypress, I loved everything about this! what stood out to me the most is the challenge you proposed with what it means to be good. After you wrote “as long as I please the other party, I was a good lover, right?” I had to pause because it sat with me. I’ve looked for that confirmation before over and over, in and out of that same context. I love that I found myself in your story and ended up feeling slightly less crazy. Thank you 💗

This really resonates with me. I’ve had had dreams of lovers with no faces but the feeling of how I’ve wanted to be loved and feeling so at peace in the dream. I’m glad to know I am not the only one experiencing this.

ive had many a faceless lover dream, sometimes not faceless (we dont talk about that). Desire has been something kinda complicated for me for a long time but reading this kind of settled something for me.

Im very grateful to you for this.

The love you desire and deserve is coming your way, how could it not? why would it not?. and a bih fuck you to those people who told you to settle, to love is something so beautiful and so intimate why would u give it to someone who wont move about u with intention and the way u want and need them too. They always tell the fat girls to settle and its always bullshit

A few years ago I had this wild dream of a lover and it was intense not only in the warmth that I felt but because I realized it was a dream while inside the dream. So I asked this person where they are in NYC because once I woke up they would be gone and I simply wasn’t able to get an answer😭 I still get chills when I think about how real it felt. So reading this made me very happy! May we all find that sweet warmth we sometimes get to feel in our dreams❤️
