I (23F) have been with my bf (25M) for almost two years. He is my first boyfriend and was my first time. I have always had issues with intimacy (platonic and familial, but especially romantic/sexual) so for most of my life I avoided dating.

I have had sex plenty of times with my bf (often I am satisfied) and have become very comfortable with close intimacy with him. That being said, the thought of have sex or "planning" for it makes me sooo anxious (hence the title). I often withdraw consent before anything starts. However, if its impromptu then I have a good time.

Also... kissing kind of freaks me out, particularly with tongue. If for one second I focus on the kiss by itself, i get so icked out.

Anyways, I do not know why I am scared of intimacy. Just wanting some advice or anecdotes from people who are more experienced than me.

Through out the whole show, the way that music is used is absolutely astounding. Not only does it set the mood during scenes, but characters intentionally use music that pushes the plot and change relationships. It is reminiscent of musicals to me, but it's not and that feels so creative and new to me. (If yall know other stuff like this lmk!!)

Particularly moved by the scene with Hannah and her Professor in EP7. Daveed playing his song and them talking about it is just beyond beautiful. Best scene IMO, second most I cry to right behind her call to her mom.

Everything is so intentional and detailed, especially when it comes to music. But also the use of music to express personal and relational feelings is *chef's kiss*.

Yall have a favorite moment that uses music like this?

On my second watch right now and oh my god. Literally the first episode has back to back scenes. Garrett talking to Logan about his dad and everyone's expectations for him, then Logan jokes and tries to tell him that no one expects him to be his dad. Next scene is Hannah talking to Allie about not being enough to create music/lyrics and her dooming loss of tuition. Allie jokes and tells Hannah that her expectations are too high for herself.

I just love seeing the similarities in their insecurities and where they are in life, but also the people they have in their lives. Excited to notice more as I rewatch.

Hi All,

Does anyone know anywhere needing assistance in or around Athens that pays under the table (cash or venmo)?

I would like to make more money but my contract prohibits me from getting a second official job like Walmart, Kroger, etc.

My boyfriend and I were having a conversation when I used "moisten up it" in a sentence. He laughed and makes a joke about my dyslexia showing (not in a mean way). Im so confused because that makes sense to me.

My mom's side of the family is from Buchanan County, VA for some regional context. They all have pretty thick accents while I do not (sometimes things slip through).

Does anyone know if this is a dialect thing, or was I actually slipping up my words?

Example:

"That dough's lookin' dry, you should moisten up it with a little milk."

EDIT: Fixed my typos 😭
