I think sometimes we can hear the words ‘I love you’ so often that they start to lose their true meaning. I do wonder about languages that have more nuanced words for ‘love’ if this would increase the meaningfulness in the way we use the phrase ‘I love you’.
What is more intimate than being truly seen, heard, witnessed, and to make sense to another person?
For me, this is the greatest intimacy you could offer.
Love,
