Promise Me

In this episode, I speak directly to the moment before trust is given.

The moment where truth risks being used as currency.

I explore what it means to open fully without being punished for it.

This is a reflection on emotional safety, exposure, and the cost of being seen.

Not as performance.

As truth.

What is My Inner Musings?

My Inner Musings is a space for the thoughts we often keep to ourselves.
I talk out loud about life, relationships, change, and the patterns we notice as we grow.
These are real reflections from a lived life, shared with honesty, humour, and curiosity.
Nothing is polished. Nothing is solved.
Just honest musings, spoken in real time.

Promise me you won’t retaliate.

When I show you the depths of my soul, promise me you won’t become like the many before you and use my messy, unhinged, naked mess of a fully lived life against me, to control the narrative, to hold the gifts that I gave you by opening up.

To see the reverence and beauty of the stripped down, bare bones version of me, the darkness that I only knew, the unspoken thoughts, the mental loops that keep playing in my mind, that fuel my desire to love and be seen.

Promise me you’ll be gentle when you meet her, that you will greet her with the same enthusiasm as meeting a new puppy.

Promise me you won’t change your mind once you’ve seen what hides behind that veil, and leave me alone, emotionally naked, soul bearing, as she exposes her reality to gift you with herself.

Promise me you’ll protect her from all the fears she holds, the judgment she fears, from being witnessed in a way that is only possible when she truly opens up her heart and allows the light to cast upon the darkest places she kept withheld for so long.

Promise me to love her more as her exposure granted you access to a secret vault, one that fuels your fires and allows you to burn with desire for being within her presence, touched a part of you, changed you, demanded more of you than you deemed possible.

Promise me that when she looks into your eyes, they mirror back her soul and that she’s safe.
