Find yourself a partner with some sexual self control especially if you’re into men. It’ll help you out a lot. You’ll then have some safety in relationships knowing when you say no you’ll be heard, you’re being valued beyond your physical attributes and beauty, and your partner won’t go out being disloyal to you and easily tempted by others.
being uncomfortable becomes easier when you realize that’s literally the point. it’s like working out. if you work out & it becomes easy for you, you already got all you could out of that workout. your body adjusted & is strong enough to handle it now. you’re not improving anymore. that’s why you up the ante with harder workouts, where you’re uncomfortable & not quite strong enough yet. bc eventually you will be strong enough. but if it’s not a challenge, there’s no gain. & that’s exactly how it is with situations out of your comfort zone. the more you put yourself in them, the easier they get—but that in-between phase where you’re struggling is still completely valid and ok and natural. it’s what’s supposed to happen. it’s what’s going to change you as a person. and you should keep doing it

After watching pride and prejudice for the 100th time this is how my mood boards look like
Someday you will know that respect is more important than love.

I literally spent 40 minutes tonight just staring at pictures of Kristin Davis on Google images tonight! She is such a classic beauty, truly one of a kind. Words can’t express how in love with her I am. Her character just feels so REAL! 🤍
