Itās always easier to give advice than to take itā¦
Itās different when youāre standing on the outside of the fire and can objectively evaluate the situation versus when youāre caught inside of the burning building.
āGood vibes onlyā doesnāt leave room for the darker side of humanity.
(But Iām tired of wasting valuable time feeling sad & incapable so Iām leaning in. )
Iām reminding myself that if you forge a smile long enough, then your brain forgets that itās fake.
And so Iāll plaster a fucking smile to my face until we all believe it.
I know itās weird to say, but I love falling into someoneās thirst trapā especially if it is someone whom Iāve never considered having the potential to be sexy.
Like yeah, youāre objectively attractive, but who knew that you could be provocative?
It shocks me to my very core sometimes.

If no one bears witness to the small moments of my life, am I even living?
I am not certain anymore.
Intention changes everything.
Roll with the punches, but work on your defense game. Keep your hands up and your head protected. Then learn how to land your own blows.
Second chances make me feel like an idiot.
But I probably am an idiot.
Even the ones who pretend to be harmlessā¦
Even the ones who claim they have good intentionsā¦
Even the ānice guysāā¦
Even the ones who say they just wanna be your friend..
Want to tear into you with grimy bare hands like a starving savage ripping into a warm pink centered filet.
Iām done.
Iāve had enough.
Iām good. (Not at dating; Iām actually the worst at that š¤Ŗ)
I have bad taste in men. I have no idea, up close, what a solid, emotionally stable relationship looks like. Iāve never had one. My mother never had one. My grandmother never had one. Iām trying to break all of these generational curses brought on by teen parenthood, drug abuse, poverty, abandonment issues & trauma passed along from my parents.
This is the one I really canāt master. So Iām going to take some time for therapy and self work.
In dating over the last two years, I have had the following experiences:
-āHomeboy, are you doing hard drugs in my bathroom?ā -October
-āOdinism is your belief system, huh? Never heard of that.ā **Google gives history referencing white supremacy & Nazi history. -September
-āWait, how long were you in prison?ā -August
āWait, how long were you in prison?ā -September
-āWait, how long were you in prison?ā-September

-One guy gave me an unprompted, non-consensual foot massage mid-date.
-Another bought me kegel weights before our first date.
-One guy told me that I look hispanic in some of my pictures. I said thank you. He said it wasnāt a compliment.
-One guy said that he didnāt want to date but rather he wanted me to ābe a fuckdoll for him and his friends to pass around.ā
-One guy said that he āhopes that my pig-ass gets pregnant with a half breed.ā when I asked if he supports BLM.
-After a date Christmas shopping last year, one guy stole three pairs of socks and a shirt that I bought from Express for my mother.
-Another told me that I think that iām smarter and prettier than I actually am.
-Another guy that I was seeing for a couple months told me his kink was for me to ask him to cum in me. He explicitly assured me that he wouldnāt actually do it, he just wanted me to ask. And then he did anyways. š
Yeah so I need to take some time for self reflection to make better choices for myself.
Soft souls like mine
arenāt made for this
hard world.
My friendās fiancĆ© decided that I make her insecure and that she no longer wants me in his life.
She has never even met me.
Iām not shoot you crazy; Iām shoot me crazy.
Sui, not homoā¦
ā-cideā that isā¦
My expectations belong to me; theyāre honestly none of your business.
āthat is where the human being lives, in the how and why, not the should.ā
