“Overall, we dont want a life half-lived, half-assed, or half-hearted.
We dont want superficial, surface-level, unemotional, uninteresting, unexceptional, average, ordinary connection.”
I smiled gently, and looked at her.

I definitely dont want to be loved like that!
It was a nice reminder the truly educated never graduate.
However, what if there was an easy way to end the divide between men and women?
I decided to try and start that conversation.
All ways that feelings are felt are important, valuable, appropriate, and acceptable.
Lets repeat: All ways that feelings are felt are important, valuable, appropriate, and acceptable.

We are allowed to feel however we are feeling.
We are under no obligation to feel differently.
Our feelings do not disqualify us from being beautiful, respected, whole, or enough.
I fucking dare you.
We dont need a remedy or reward, and we definitely dont need a hero.
We dont need to be helped and we dont want to be fixed.
Sometimes we just want a hug.
Proceed with tender goals, speak your mind, and show your soul.
Lust for us and share with us and show us that you care enough to let your guard down.
Smash your walls down.
Let your cheeks drown in tears of truth that flood down your face.
Because vulnerability is sexy.
Like, really, really super sexy.
Its also a pre-requisite to connecting.
And, honestly, honesty is the best gift you’re able to give a woman.
Speak fiercely with a gentle heart.
Well do the same.
Treat us with respect, with honor, with soft hands made strong by trust.
Dont be threatened by strength.
You may need to lean on us one day, and its better if our foundation is firm.
Were strong enough to be leaned upon and if you need help, just ask.
Let us help, because we can, and do not mistake delicateness for weakness.
Do not confuse fragility for frailty.
Do not treat us as less.
We deserve respect and to be treated as equals, but different.
Just because we are resilient, confident, and independent, does not mean that we dont have needs.
And just because we have needs, does not mean that we are weak.
We are bold and badass warrior women, not timid children searching for a daddy.
We are tender like a lightning strike; capable, not quitters; vigilant, not victims.
Were your lover, not your mother.
For Gods sake, c’mon, make the effort.
We want to feel taken care of sometimes.
So take control, but stay in control of your outbursts and intentions.
Dont wear us down.
Overall, we dont want a life half-lived, half-assed, or half-hearted.
We dont want superficial, surface-level, unemotional, uninteresting, unexceptional, average, ordinary connection.
We want passion in action.
We want love like fire rages.
(We long to be consumed.)
We want stares that give our soul a sunburn.
(We demand at least a tan.)
We want your words tattooed on the goosebumps you gift our skin.
