Tender Affections

The ways we want to be loved isn’t idealistic.

“Your words have power over me.”

“Validate–my worth when I am at my lowest. Remind me–I am loved. Hold me, stay–when you can’t be–close or if words fail.”

“Hearing the words, “you are worthy,” should make the heart all a tremble. To hear that you’re worth it through the colder, slow seasons–through the uncertainty–through the difficult and seemlingly unromantic conversations–it holds firm and grounds. It is stead fast.”

Time–with it's sacred.To myself–sacrosanct.

Allot me time–

to introspect and–

and berth to explore.

“Feelings of longing, sadness, and security resonate within my palms. I can be a very tactile person, meaning I reach for what gives me strength. For what grounds me. And at times, for what I fear I’m not supposed to have.”
