I always thought I was the one who needed to stay in control — at work, in life, in every space I occupied. But intimacy changed that. It taught me how liberating it can be to surrender. To let someone else take the lead. To be truly vulnerable. To trust completely.

At first, it felt terrifying — like standing on the edge of a cliff. But it quickly became exhilarating, too. In those moments, I discovered a quiet strength that came from letting go. From allowing myself to be seen and held as I am.

I never expected to find power in surrender, but it has been one of the most surprising and beautiful lessons of my sex life — reshaping how I connect, how I love, and how I understand myself.
