The images here represent ideas/feeling/actions that I enjoy… but that doesn’t mean I agree with all of them, that I want to do all of them, or that they don’t trouble me. You see… I can hold multiple ideas at once, I can even have contradictions within myself and be totally okay.
I can enjoy something and have it be difficult. I can take pleasure in an experience that makes me cringe. I have the ability to look beyond the content and consider the process. I realize that not everyone is made this way or even takes joy in this… but that is me… the real me.
I am not “into” everything I blog. I am however into pushing myself and others to consider alternative views on sexuality, philosophy, identity, and a bunch of other topics. I’m not some cool girl who is mysterious (sorry to burst that bubble) and totally secure with everything. Instead, I’m a rather boring sort with a real life and regular insecurities.
There is a desire here in tumblr-land (and other places on the ink-er-net) to put all of our sexy ideas upon the person that puts images up. I understand that longing, I do it too. Just remember we are all real people and some of us are a million times cooler than we might seem here and others of us are not. Being okay with the whole range is part of the greatness for me.
