To feel cared for, to feel the comfort of one’s tenderness, and to extend that outwards is to open one’s heart, soul, and spirit to sharing the heights of our happiness, and the instability of our uncertainty, to breathe heavily at the end of a phone line knowing we will be collected, held, and supported at the other end. To be open to finding intimacy is to be open to finding disappointment, to navigate difficult conversations because no matter how challenging, it’s easier than accepting the loss of that person without trying. To bathe in the heat of a laugh so deep it fills the atmosphere with a tang so infectious that together even years later, we can so easily tap back into that moment shared with one that we love in the cushioned hammock of our bond. To accept the respect, trust, responsibility,  knowledge, care and commitment - as described by bell hooks - needed to accept one’s love we must find within ourselves the sunshine that our loved ones so easily see.
