i want to talk about a taboo topic i had a hard time, shall we say, performing when it came to sexual intimacy. the moment before, there would just be fear i decided after a painful experience on the train home that anyone who wasn't kind to me in the moment about it happening was an asshole

something about that made it so every time there was fear after that moment, i would remember: anyone being mean to my member would be an asshole between that and some anatomy learning, it was so simple. and i never quite had problems with it after that https://t.co/7E5TeL3fEn

Repeat after me, if you feel like it: Life is hard, and full of rejection and failure. But. I will never be the one to count myself out. I will never take up arms against myself. I will never be the one to sabotage me. I’m on my side and I root for me to succeed. https://t.co/Eo1Pk9g3et


whenever the fear came up again, i still felt like a person i had my wits. i had my opinions i still had my fears but i was just like... a person? i could be kind to myself? i could have reasonable expectations of people? i could feel sensitivity towards them and me?
