My New Philosophy

"I want to expose myself emotionally, sexually and intimately without fear of reprisal, abandonment or ridicule.  I want this act to be received in a way that supports my dignity, intelligence, womanhood and heart.  I want to be not only accepted but needed.  Not only needed but cherished.  Not only cherished but respected.  All of me….not just my body….not just for what I represent or provide or satisfy but because someone wants to see who I am….really, really see...see all the parts of me and still wants me as a whole – wants me “as is”.  Only then will I be able to believe the sincerity of the words seductively spoken in dark corners and breathless moments.  Only then will I know that I am not invisible to another and that true connection between two people exists.  Only then will I love completely, truly and honestly as I love myself."
