The writings and musings of Nicole Daedone

To be special is to be separate. And to be separate is to be exiled from the current of life.

We keep asking, Is it monogamy or polyamory? Is it openness or commitment? But there is another question, one that dissolves the illusion entirely: What happens when you stop searching for a framework to hold love—and instead step into love itself?

Freedom isn’t about cutting things out—it’s about expanding.

Most people are picking 
their love stories from
the dollar bin, not realizing there’s another reality available. They sift through the same recycled tropes, bargaining with themselves over which
scraps to settle for. 

In erotic relating, we seek to experience all parts of ourselves and the other.
Archetypes move through us constantly, some familiar, some strangers at the door.

You cannot begin to fathom what lies within another until you step inside.

It is no accident 
that we are here now, for everything—every action, intention, debt,
and credit—has led us to this shared space.

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.
