I feel a deep need to express myself. I want to speak out, to shout who I am, to celebrate my truth and dance with it even if speaking the truth means facing hostility.

I will be impervious to hateful backlashes, for I already know how to check myself, through love. So, I will speak my truth, not to change the world, but to allow myself to exist.

To allow myself to filter those around me who know how to think with love. And so, those who attack the messenger who wasn't even delivering a message to them will only find themselves inflicting violence upon the ones brave enough to exist.

I am a pervert, and I fully own it. To hell with condemning my biology, the power of that vital drive that creates life, the one that appreciates a woman's breast the way it does a sunset.

A desire that praises infinite feminine beauty. In no way predatory, entirely contemplative. And if women are freeing themselves from their bras, I will free myself from the shame of feeling desire. From the shame of loving their bodies. I am neither a predator nor a creep, I am simply alive.

It seems like the majority of human beings would rather hurt their loved ones and destroy the planet than admit their mistakes and recognize the impact of their actions. This denial is deeply embedded in our culture; when someone speaks uncomfortable truths, they are immediately labeled as negative, dramatic, or overly sensitive. Many people simply refuse to grow up.

Lately, I’ve been struggling a lot with judgment in my inner narrative. Every time someone said something I found thoughtless or a bit simple-minded, I just thought they were stupid.

By allowing myself a bit more self-compassion, and by accepting the injustice of the things I endured for which I had no solution, I came to realize that other people's behavior isn't just the result of their lack of self-work, but sometimes simply a consequence of their fate.
