he/him, Jay, my thought dumpster. if you feel like judging me, my writing profile: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/155969

“Although they are housed on her person, from the moment they begin to show, a female discovers that her breasts are claimed by others. Parents and relatives mark their appearance as a landmark event, schoolmates take notice, girlfriends compare, boys zero in; later a husband, a lover, a baby expect a proprietary share. No other part of the human anatomy has such semipublic, intensely private status, and no other part of the body has such vaguely defined custodial rights. One learns to be selectively generous with breasts—this is the girl child's lesson—and through the breast iconography she sees all around her, she comes to understand that breasts belong to everybody, but especially to men. It is they who invent and refine the myths, who discuss breasts publicly, who criticize their failings as they extoll their wonders, and who claim to have more need and intimate knowledge of them than a woman herself.”

-Susan Brownmiller, Femininity

Sometimes we want to be understood  even more than we want to be loved. Yes,there is a part of us that longs to be loved unconditionally no matter what, but then there is also that other part of us that wants to be loved for who we are. We want an unconditional embrace but not a blind embrace. It is an embrace that is fully conscious, that is aware of the shortcomings of the person you love, aware of their darkness, their shadows, their abysses. It requires knowledge and deep comprehension, a profound intimacy with the one you love for only then can you gain a true understanding of the other person's values, thoughts, feelings. Only then can you see them as they really are, and it is in that instant when you truly understand them that you can accept them, and embrace them for who they truly are. That is what we all long for! An unconditional embrace that is given knowingly, because if they can love us for what we truly are then that love will last forever and nothing can ever take it from us.

id: a whisper post. the background is of a person making a heart with their pointer and middle fingers. the text reads: “Glad to see so many embracing Therapy.. a few of you need an exorcism as well but.. baby steps (100 emoji) (two hearts emoji)” end id.

If you ever walk into the library and say “I’m looking for a book,” please know that, while I respond calmly and professionally on the outside, on the inside, I am doing jazz hands and singing “✨🎶Well, you’ve come to the right place!!!🎶✨”

Oh, sorry, a witch cursed me. I have to go live in a tower. *shoves crochet and cross stitches supplies into suitcase* Yeahhh, it seriously stinks. *slings banjo case across back* I can’t leave it at all, I just have to stay inside this giant, gorgeous, magical tower, with only books, assorted treasures and trinkets, and cute animal companions for company, until some prince comes along to break the spell. And where am I even supposed to meet one of those? *Googles “best cookbooks for total beginners,” “drawing tutorials for complete amateurs,” and “sewing beginners projects”* Yeah. Tragic. Absolutely tragic.
