To feel yourself pur and vulnerable again, without masks and rolls, to perceive this raw core in you, that is intimacy for me. You allow yourself to see yourself completely, with everything that is there and to love and fully accept you with it. No judgement, no "wanting to get rid of it", pure acceptance for everything that is there. Then the protective walls collapse more and more, because there is nothing left to hide. You recognise this innocent and untouched core in you again and an incomparable closeness and depth to yourself arises. Only then can you be really close to someone else.
