Desire is often misunderstood.
We’re taught to see it as something dangerous -
something to act on quickly,
control,
or suppress.
But desire is not a bad thing.
It’s information.
When the nervous system feels safe,
desire speaks clearly.
Sometimes quietly.
Sometimes very loudly.
Not everything desire reveals needs action.
Sometimes it only wants to be listened to.
Acknowledged.
Allowed to exist.
I’m seeing how much confusion there is around desire -
and how rarely we’re taught to listen to it safely.
