Untamed Storms
Desire Without Limits, Love Without Fear
I understand your thoughts. Perhaps you’re thinking something along the lines of: “Here’s yet another woman discussing intimacy, connections, and those topics that I’ve encountered countless times already. But I promise you, this isn’t just another text. It’s a dare. A challenge to strip yourself — not of your clothes, not yet, anyway — but of the ideas. The beliefs, the clichés, the limits you’ve been taught to carry about what it means to love, to desire, and to be desired.
Have you noticed how we, women, are like storms? Intense, unpredictable, devastating. We can flood any barren land with a force that terrifies and fascinates at the same time. But here’s the thing: that storm, that hurricane? It doesn’t happen for just anyone. And that’s where the irony lies. How many times have we unleashed our warmest winds, our sweetest rains, for someone who didn’t even bother to bring an umbrella?
The woman who gives herself entirely to the guy who doesn’t even text back the next day. Who turns herself into an unforgettable wildfire for someone who can’t even remember her birthday. Who offers her affection and tenderness in lavish doses to someone who doesn’t even know how to spell “commitment.” And the craziest part? She knows it. We know it. And yet, we do it anyway.
