Why I want a partner

Desire for intimacy has led other things to fall by the wayside.

I must accept this very needy part of me. There is no other way.

I remember Saturday morning, slipping into mom's bed and just cuddle. 

Here are the reasons why I want a partner.

1. To help expose and heal my shadows.

2. To help heal my emotional body.

3. I want to touch and be touched. I want to be contained.

4. I want to expand my vision and tear open the windows through which I see the sky, into the unchartered territory called healthy love.

5. I want to love and be loved. I want to nourish and be nourished. 

6. I want to overcome my fear of intimacy. 

Now, imagine what it might feel like to be in the relationship I want. Add mundane details. Don't take inventory too soon.
