I feel safe and protected by my partner.

Safety is almost impossible to photograph. It is the fact that they don't fall properly asleep until your key turns in the door, and never mention it.

Protection gets imagined as something dramatic, standing between you and danger. Mostly it is administrative: the appointment they remembered, the person they steered away from you at a party, the way they never repeat what you said in a bad mood.

It is also mutual in ways that go unlogged. You are doing a version of this for them right now.

Notice one thing today that was made safe for you before you woke up.
