I crave intimacy but I get confused and uncomfortable when I’m shown even the slightest bit of attention or affection.

Goodness, I remember this feeling all too well. I remember crushing on a guy and immediately freezing at the first moment they touch my hand or move closer to me. I remember thinking I was hopeless at receiving affection. Then, the one comes along who puts you completely at ease, and the one who moves at your pace. You meet the one who you can sit in complete silence with and feel at peace. You meet the one who will hold your hand with strength, the one who will wrap his arms around you and make you feel like the world is standing still, the one whose back you can rub and whose cheek you can kiss and the one who will make you feel butterflies yet and set you ablaze yet calm your fears and soothe your nerves at the exact same time. Yeah, him…you’ll find him.
