Oh, I love this so much! Also, I totally know what you mean about shame. Everything our culture teaches us is about how shameful sex is, but it's the most natural thing in the world. It wasn't until I was 40 that I started understanding my own sexuality and giving myself permission to enjoy my own body with other people and alone. There is no expiration date on pleasure or curiosity or growth. I'm so happy you're feeling this joy. Here's to finding more of it!
It is seriously so crazy that when this lightness and joy I’ve been missing in myself and trying to patiently wait for finally did return, shame immediately came in and was like WAIT A MINUTE. You sure you don’t want to feel bad about this…?
I’m so grateful to have the tools now to not let shame ruin this for me.
Thanks Jaime, for reading, for rooting for me, for sharing your ideas with me always, for being my friend ❤️
I love reading about your experiences and your process of healing. I believe that it's part of the human experience to seek connection and mourn when it's lost. It's almost inevitable. Part of the joy is in coming back to life, back to yourself, and finding yourself evolved into a new life form. Part of the joy is getting to know yourself again.
Hooray =)
