I want to expose myself emotionally, sexually and intimately without fear of reprisal, abandonment or ridicule.
I want this act to be received in a way that supports my dignity, intelligence, womanhood and heart.
I want to be not only accepted but needed.
Not only needed but cherished.
Not only cherished but respected.
All of me … not just my body … not just for what I represent or provide or satisfy
but because someone wants to see who I am … really, really see … See all the parts of me and still wants me as a whole - wants me “as is”.
Only then will I be able to believe the sincerity of the words seductively spoken in dark corners and breathless moments.
Only then will I know that I am not invisible to another and that true connection between two people exists.
Only then will I love completely, truly and honestly as I love myself.
