The first thought that comes to mind when I hear the word intimate is sex. I'm just keeping it real! I mean yes intimacy has some relevance during sex, yet sex is sometimes just that...sex. There are no intimate exchanges. It's simply about empty pleasures. You do the do...and go on your way in life. Luckily for those of you reading this today, I won't go there because we all know, well if you've been following, I can have that real conversation with the best of them. Today's intimacy discussion is more about allowing people into you intimate space that most of us hold near, dear and close.
We can't always divulge everything about our flaws, faults, self misconceptions about ourselves to everyone because that allows them to invade our intimate space. We open ourselves up to the same type of abuse that we attempted to remove ourselves from and not even intentionally. It's because we still have that trusting side of us and the illusion that everyone has our best interest at heart. NEWSFLASH...THEY DON'T!
I've had guys who were there to "comfort me" in their own special way of reminding me of my past and me allowing them to invade my intimate space because I became too comfortable. I'm pretty open about things I've done and been through so that in itself is sometimes overwhelming for men and women. If you can't be honest with yourself, hell you definitely can't be honest with anyone else. It took me a long time to get to this place of honesty, openness and accountability so I have zero plans of changing that. Now what I have changed and continue to change is how I allow others to invade my intimate space.
Without giving a full blown tutorial on this, just know that I will tell you and show you where we stand if you need to know. This is/was a pivotal moment in my recent self discovery journey. Not running back to the comfort I knew has been a challenge because I am a giving person and I thrive in relationships, companionship, situationships, friendships...hell the "ships". I needed to become guarded again and to revisit my actions so that I'm doing exactly what it is I'm supposed to be doing.
Tomorrow is my 2nd Empowerment Event and it's about just that! Redemption...resurrection and restarts! Every person attending has a story and I'm honored to be the one to assist some with bringing it to the forefront. The right people will be in the room for the right reasons. I like it small and intimate...yet safe and empowering! Invading Intimate Space to grow and glow!
