weird intimacy

Jan, 2026

Do you know how weird compassion feels like?

When a stranger comes out of nowhere and mirrors you properly,

you feel seen, loved, and taken care of.

You feel like it’s just the right amount you’ve always expected from your parents.

You have this awkward cocktail of feelings in that five minutes of interaction

amazement, fear, peace, and a certain amount of compassion.

You don’t know if you like it, but you feel like keeping company.

And you do.

That sweet amount of validation you’ve never felt before

you discover a new level of compassion.

And yes, THAT is weird compassion.

Do you know how weird intimacy feels like?

When a stranger comes out of nowhere and sees you properly,

you feel surprised, desired and ...

All you talk about is sex, and all you do is sex.

And one day, this person decides to call you.

You have this awkward cocktail of feelings in those five seconds of your phone ringing

Excitement, anxiety, alienation, warmth, and intimacy.

You don’t know if you like it, but you feel like answering the phone.

And you do.

With that sweet voice you’ve never heard before

You discover a new level of intimacy.

And yes, THAT is weird intimacy.
