Zenzizenzizenzic Pleasure
~ ~ ~
"Yes, in this stage of your adulthood,
you are seeking intimacy through conversation,"
my therapist stated rather matter-of-factly.
"Craving connection through words,
your chest rises with hopeful breath and longing.
Your revelation hits you as you discover,

Wow, this is on point . I think this is what we are all seeking 😊☀️🌸🌱
