Pain was wholly mine this year. I drank it. It drank me. It sat on my chest. I inhaled it and there wasn’t a space in my body it didn’t touch. I have no idea how I made it through work days or any day. But man. Mornings. I kept finding those. And they kept finding me.

Intimacy is all those tiny gestures that make you feel like someone finds pleasure in studying and learning you; it's remembering the seemingly insignificant details. Intimacy is taking notes and forcing nothing. Intimacy is active listening. Intimacy is the remembering.

Love is a growing up. Love is a rearranging. Love is a becoming. Love is making room for all that you are while allowing it to show you what you aren’t. Love is showing up, being present and looking beyond self. Love isn’t all things, it’s just a vital piece of everything.

How we move in love isn’t always neat or easy. It’s difficult to be shown yourself. To navigate ego. It’s a lot of vulnerability when you may not feeling like being vulnerable. It’s learning how to fight fair, how to heal. It’s truly a growing up. Reminded to be gracious in it.
