Day 7 - What's My Name

Rihanna has a song entitled "What's My Name," and while the entire song is a good thing, there is one particular line that will be the focus of today's entry.  "You’re so amazing, you took the time to figure me out. That's why you take me, way past the point of turning me on."  There is power in this line, and for me, it goes way beyond being sexual.  I think the feeling behind it for me is the depth of care that it takes to get to know someone.  I think everyone has layers, and it takes time and effort to get through the layers of stuff that we live with.  For someone to care enough to take that time shows some real love and effort.  When someone takes that much time and shows genuine interest, it makes me more willing to be open and vulnerable, sharing more of me than I normally would, especially with my trust issues.  When I feel comfortable and open, I am willing to not only share but invest and make you feel cared for.  If you take care of my needs, I will surely take care of yours.  :)
