We tend to think of intimacy as closeness with another person, vulnerability shared between partners, and the feeling of being truly known. But there’s a quieter, foundational form of intimacy that rarely gets discussed.
Most people grow up with a set of unspoken beliefs about what love is supposed to look like. Some come from movies, some from family, some from years of absorbing cultural messaging that made certain ideas feel like universal truths.
