An emotional space full of kindness, gentleness, nurture, softness, peace... hope... purpose... faith... connection... A place of complete safety — the deepest trust I'd ever felt. A place of honesty and being heard, growth and healing, mutual repair and commitment to emotional health — always being present as the best person we could be... inspiring and encouraging each other to do the same. No coercion... no fear, or obligation, or harm. Just gentle negotiation, understanding, choosing freely to give out of love and care. A space we both protected from the world because it held things we both valued. It was the most beautiful dream I ever had 💗✨🪷"
