 Friends       | I prefer a whispered ‘suggestion’ over a barked order; a gentle touch over a harsh hand; and one who stays present not because of physical restraint rather through mutual devotion. “But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.”  Subinnj: What an awesome blog , great to hear honesty .

Let’s all be mindful of others and what they may be going through please. If you are finding things challenging then maybe remember that Mahatma Gandhi said “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” And, if anyone needs a shoulder or ear, I am offering to be there for you. Let’s make this a positive place for all of us. * Soapbox mode off *  kimber_pool: Thanks, Matt... this was really kind of you to post. I will keep trying to be compassionate and being there for people, too.  SouthernDarIin: Thanks, Matt. I did notice a few changes in this test compared to the one from last year and I'm sure if I take it again next year the results will vary then as well. Although not definitive, the test revealed much truth about me.  Sassy N Classy: I took the test. Some of the results I could see and understand. Others were kinda like "huh, how do you figure that" I, personally, think the biggest flaw in the test is kind of a lack of "well, I don't know, I've never tried it and not sure what I think of it" option. If it asked me a question that was something I have no experience in, but reading the question doesn't make me cringe, I'd answer neutrally. Which I think they then decided "well that makes you _% ___" so then I look at the results and it's like "yeah, I'm not so sure about that" lol enigMattic: “Remember this also: it’s always easy to look back and see what we were, yesterday, ten years ago. It is hard to see what we are. If you can master that trick, you’ll get along.” Jack Finch in Harper Lee’s “Go set a watchman” (Post deleted by simplycomplexlady ) enigMattic: Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable. - Rollo May Intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them and their response is ‘you’re safe with me’, that’s intimacy. - Taylor Jenkins Reid kimber_pool: What a special beautiful gift, enig. You completely brightened my day and made me smile. Thank you |
