Control

I use deflection to avoid extreme emotions. I prefer to stay in control of my faculties. And control is an illusion especially in the current context.

Intimacy

“I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other’s wounds; they repair the broken skin.”

– Lauren Oliver, Pandemonium

“People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.”

― Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
