Before, intimacy used to mean reaching a point where two people had built trust over time. Today, it often happens before people even know each other deeply. Maybe that's why so many connections feel intense for a moment, but empty afterward.
I don't think the problem is intimacy itself. It's when two people walk into the same moment carrying different meanings. One sees it as love growing, the other sees it as just another experience.
We live in a world where getting close has become easier, but staying close somehow became harder. We have endless ways to meet people, yet genuine emotional connection feels more rare than ever.
Maybe intimacy was never meant to be something we rush into. Maybe its real beauty isn't found in the moment itself, but in what remains after it the trust, the honesty, and the choice to stay when the excitement fades.
