"Intimacy is not who you let touch you. Intimacy is who you text at 3am about your dreams and fears. Intimacy is giving someone your attention, when ten other people are asking for it. Intimacy is the person always in the back of your mind, no matter how distracted you are."

How odd, I can have all this inside me
and to you it’s just words.

-David Foster Wallace , The Pale King
