The writings and musings of Nicole Daedone

We should always ask: Who does it serve to pathologize intensity? Why are we so quick to diagnose excess rather than investigate what internal capacities we would need to cultivate in order to receive it?

People are made up of moving parts—many drivers, many motivations.
What we call “manipulation” is, more often than not, an unmet need. A need someone does not know how to ask for directly.

You will know you are loved not by how tightly someone holds onto you but by how free you feel in their presence.

Our desire is to be a vehicle of freedom for each other.

Relationships have a shape to them. That shape is both defined by and defines how we interact with it.

There is freedom in the pure offering of love itself.

What would you pine for if you knew that always and ever you were equally desired by what is issuing the desire within you?
