Ships in harbour are safe, but that’s not what ships are built for. - John Shedd

• I want to be held • Weightless in your warm embrace • Swaddled, cradled, safe

I love hearing real, true, human experiences.

Unkept hair. Same shirt. • Unshaved legs. House looks lived in. • I feel safe with you.

Innocence of youth • Tarnished through violent outbursts • Is anywhere safe?

I long to feel held, comforted. To know it’s all going to be okay.

When I feel loved, my heart is the safest place in the world. When I feel wronged, hurt, or threatened, it can be scary.

When faced with extreme emotions, I want to be alone.

So cute and cuddly • A safe respite for my soul • Soft landing for tears
