Today is much better. I connected with a few folk ( and by connected, it can mean they just reminded me they were there. As I was working there wasn't opportunity to phone a friend for a good cry. Those little reminders I am not alone are all I need sometimes ).
I saw and shared an ace quote about intimacy.
"Kiss your friends' faces more/ destroy the belief that intimacy must be reserved for monogamous relationships / be more loving / embrace platonic intimacy / embrace vulnerability / use emotionality a radical tactic against a society which teaches you that emotions are a sign of weakness / tell more people you care about them / hold their hands / tell others you are proud of them / offer support readily / take care of the people around you "
One of my fab colleagues responded by asking if we are upping our game (she has already had to point out to her partner that my many text declarations of love are nothing to be threatened by ). Much of this list is already the mantra by which i live. Face kissing and hand holding less usual but to be explored more. Its tricky tho as whilst I want to encourage us all to get closer physically and emotionally, some people (and their partners) find it threatening, and I come bearing encouragement not threat.
I was out longer than anticipated and received a text from my boyfriend enquiring if I was waylaid kissing strangers. He knows me so well :-) tho it wasn't a stranger, it was a friend :-)
