PERSONAL: INTIMACY IS

Most often we fall in love with the person we think we love, only to discover that for them, we are just for passing time. While the one who truly loves us remains a stranger..I just don’t settle for the one who’s passing time. My life is too precious

Intimacy is not who you let touch you. Intimacy is who you text at 3am about your dreams and fears. Intimacy is giving someone your attention, when ten other people are asking for it. Intimacy is the person always in the back of your mind, no matter how distracted you are. If a person wants to be a part of your life, they will make an obvious effort to do so. I usually think twice before reserving a space in my heart for people who do not make an effort to stay.I just want someone who won’t get annoyed when I text them six times or in all caps. Someone I can go on long drives with and can sing along to the radio with. Someone I can eat pizza with at 2am and kiss at 6pm. Someone who chooses me everyday and never thinks twice about it. Hot bodies are good for pleasure and looking good on your arm, but a kind hearts are good for loving my broken parts and accepting me for what I am. Beautiful souls are good for teaching me about life and happiness. Gentle spirits are good for bringing peace and harmony into my life.Honest consciences are good for trust and reliability. Playful characters are good for laughter and fun  You see when I am 80 and I am  looking at the last 60 years of my life,  I want to ask myself what kind of person do I want to have spent it with? Relationships are never easy. Some days you’re going to wake up and that love you know you have for the person in the bed next to you, isn’t going to come so naturally. We always say “no one told us it was going to be this hard” but they do.We choose not to listen, because it seems so unreasonable that one day you will be able to keep your hands off of each other. One day you will spend your free time away from each other. The only way you can make a relationship last is if you work at it every day and never give up on it. Because if you take time to fight and argue and still can’t imagine leaving them, then you love them. And that’s the kind of love that’s forever.There comes a point in your life when you realize: Who matters, who never did, who won’t anymore, and who always will.

I asked 12 men over 60 what they miss most about their 40s and not one of them said their career, their body, or their social life — every single one described a moment so specific and so small that I had to pull over to write them down by Tommy Baker

You know what I miss? The sound of the garage door when she’d get home from her pottery class on Thursday nights.” That’s what Frank told m...
