The feeling of safety is what I miss. When I’m sleeping with someone I care about, I feel protected. When their arms are around you, anything could happen, but it wouldn’t matter because the pull of their arm and the warmth of their body shows that they are there. Their heartbeat intertwines with yours, for one moment you feel like one. This is what I miss.
Story time: So I have my ears spaced to 12mm and my septum pierced, and today at my work where i’m a cashier, a little girl (probably only 5 years old) and her Mom were passing through my line. As I was just scanning her items the little girl quietly asked her Mom, “Mommy, why is that boys ears broken?” and both of us just didn’t know what to say for a minute. Then she said “Mommy, why does the boy have silver boogers hanging from his nose?” It was honestly the most innocent and cute little 5 year old questions I’ve ever heard and she just left the store skipping holding her moms hand :)
