For M. who struggles with vulnerability.

So one of the distractions I contend with while I study is fiction reading.

I can read for AFRICA!

Anyways so last night I was reading this book and I came across this paragraph.

“When the music faded, we shared a gaze. She looked as delicate as a snowflake, and just as unique. In her eyes were friendship, and a twinkle of seriousness that made me shiver. Whenever her eyes met mine, it felt like all of her attitude, all that crap that a woman picks up from struggling in a man’s world, all of that dissipated. She became vulnerable. Her femininity shined through. She stared at me with the soft eyes of a gentlewoman. Soft, trusting, and longing. And that eye-to-eye makes me weak for her, softens me up, takes away the edge, and makes me feel like a man. Allows me to feel the way a man is supposed to feel”


Sweetie. It is okay to let your guard down. Trust me- I know what I am doing and saying- ala sledge hammer style.

Love you lots!

I underlined for emphasis.
