A Toothbrush and Intimacy

Oh! Will you look at the time, it's freewrite o'clock. Alright, I'm sorry. I tried. But I'm still trying to come up with an on point opening line or statement. I still can't pin anything down.

Anyway, let me just sit up straight and gather my thoughts, if there are any and pick up a topic out of thin air. Hmmm. Topic... come on.

Oh yeah, let's talk about intimacy. I feel like this works out as an interview or something but let me try to do it like this, maybe it will work.

So, let's talk about intimacy. This might be a relatable one if you are in a relationship, if you were in a relationship, or if you have ever been in a relationship with another human being.

So how'd you define intimacy with someone? Is it all physical? Are you already intimate when you hold hands? Are you intimate when you already kissed? Or does it have to be some more action between you two before you can call it intimate? Does it have to be full-on penetration and all that?

Or is intimacy all in the mind? Is it all emotional? Are you intimate with another person when you can share your thoughts, your private thoughts, your dreams and your desires with them? Are you intimate when you know what each of you are thinking just by giving a certain look? Are you intimate if you're in the same wavelength?

Maybe being intimate is in the unconscious state of things. Do you think intimacy lies in the attitude towards one another or how you interact? Maybe intimacy impacts both of your behaviour.

Personally, I think that intimacy is a combination of all those things. Physical, emotional and behavioral.

Yes, you're intimate when you can touch each other freely, willingly, and openly. Yes you are intimate when you can talk to each other about everything and anything without prejudice, limitations, and you can do it openly too. And of course, I think that you are intimate if you can pee with the door wide open and the other person can hear or see you do it.

I just remembered a scene from a TV show I watched. Now you have to forgive me because I totally forgot what show was that. But I think it was House M.D. A couple there fought and broke up because of a toothbrush.

The guy slept over and used the girl's toothbrush and that started a snowball effect and they essentially broke up because of that.

You may think that it's a shallow reason. But on the other hand, that could mean a lot of thing.

I don't know about you but I still believe in the concept of personal space. I don't care if you are intimate with each other in all essence of the word, but I think that it's important to respect each other's personal space.

Maybe the toothbrush was just a little thing but it can symbolise a buttload of huge things.

So what do you think about that? Is the break up over the toothbrush justified or was it just an overreaction by someone due to overthinking?

Let me know in the comments below. And with that, I think I'll have to end the session here because my eyes aren’t working as they are supposed to.

Hi!

This has been another installment to my humbke series entitled "Late Nights, Drunken Thoughts ". I think you know what this series is all about going by the title.

It's another freewriting session done and it's another night filled with thoughts, drunken ones. I still have a lot in mind and there's tons more I would like to say but my eyes are already seeing double and I don't think I'm being very coherent now.

All that being said, I appreciate you visiting me on this great platform of us and reading through my rants.

That's it from me for tonight, and until we read again...

Cheers!!!
