The first 24hrs or so after feeling a new part, or even going deeper with a more familiar one, are always pretty tender, sensitive, and alive for me. ❤️‍🩹 There’s love and joy to be connecting with them and yet, for them, they can feel quite naked. They’re sometimes an open sore, very raw, in need of air and of comfort, but also of deep feeling. They’re suddenly receiving what they’ve always needed but not necessarily realized they wanted more than anything else… to be met.
