Internalized Homophobia through Panti's Experience
This video came into my awareness as a young 20 year old something and it was deeply touching. Check your self before you wreck yourself was a phrase that took on a whole new way of relating to it after hearing the words she said.

Thanks @Dylan Sean Once again I’m sitting here with tears welling up in my eyes. These are the words that need to be heard and spread.

Skool Follow Feature
Does anyone know the significance behind the Skool follow feature? I tried to google it and it just made me confused. Skool notifies me of everything already but I’m wondering if the follow feature makes it so that you actually get notified of specific people’s activity in the group

Trauma Dump... maybe tmi...TLDR
Been sitting on this post for a few hours. During yesterday's call about loneliness, I was pretty quiet, partially because I was late, but I also didn't really know how to articulate what I've been dealing with without oversharing and feeling like I'm a weirdo. But I think the next part of my healing is sharing everything without censoring myself or apologizing for it. I don't want to do it, but I think that's the only thing i haven't done yet. I haven't even told my best friends everything because of an irrational fear that they'll leave. Trigger warning: sexual and psychological abuse. Self-harm/substance use. Suicide mention Pretty standard, parents divorced and I blamed myself after hearing my parents fight over how they were raising me. Dad is anger driven and authoritative and demanded respect and submission (i attribute part of that to his job as a cop). Mom was mostly rational and explained things. He moved out into an apartment, kind of on a sublevel. My brother and I made a friend in the complex and we hung out through the summer. During that summer, he introduced me to sex and showed me how to suck and fuck. That was when I knew I was gay. I vividly remember that most of the times happened outside in the landscaping in front of/next to my dad's window and next to a busy road, but the one that has been plaguing me is when the friend was at my dad's apartment and dared me to give him a secret bj in the living room behind one of these giant speakers while my dad was on the other side folding laundry. Did it and never got caught. This was like a 4-6 week ordeal. Fast forward a few years, my friends started getting curious and we'd experiment with each other. Dad caught my best friend and I playing Truth or Dare; got way out of hand. He freaked out so bad I don't even remember half of what he yelled, but I remember thinking "this isn't the first time he's reacted like this to something small so I'll just shut up and nod and get it over with." Then, my brother started asking me about sex when I was about 10-12ish and I kept telling him he needed to talk to mom or dad about it. We were home alone and he kept pushing and pushing, and I eventually caved, explained oral sex and showed how it works. It immediately got weird and we both felt really awkward and gross about it, so we agreed to never say anything because we both knew it was weird and wrong and didn't want to do it ever again.

Geez Jacyn. I’m sitting at my gate at the airport with tears welling up in my eyes. First off, thank you for sharing something so vulnerable and private. I’m really happy that @Frederik Schaaf has created a safe space for everyone to share and connect freely. It’s only by being an open book with each other that we can really start to understand ourselves. And right now all I want to do is give you a hug and say ”you are perfect just as you are”. Growing up in an environment with an overbearing father and passive mother would have been enough. But with everything else layered on it is too much for anyone to handle on their own. You are so brave to put words on all of this. I’m sorry if it has meant alienation from people that have been close to you. But here you will not be judged. You can’t be held accountable for what you did as a child in under the premise of experimentation. And I’m sorry you have had to pay a price for that your whole life. All I can say is that I truly hope you find peace at some point in all of this. Finding words and getting diagnosed is a great first step. I hope you will at some point also reach the realisation that in spite of all the terrible stuff, they are still a part of what has made you who you are today. ”Life must be remembered backwards, but lived forward.” I hope you see that your life is still ahead of you, and that you still have the ability to live the life you choose.

@Jacyn Benzinger I thought I left a lot of baggage behind me, but now I’ve come to terms with the fact that you never really get rid of it. Instead you need to learn to live with the scars, they are a part of us now, and part of who we are. Unchecked they risk affecting all our relationships. But through awareness we can make conscious choices that can reshape our lives

Monogamy vs Ethical non Monogamy
What do you believe in? I would like to hear your theory and why it works out for you ☺️

As someone who previously lived in a non-monogamous relationship and now have been monogamous for 22 years, here are a few thoughts: - Communication is always key, regardless of the form of relationship. But the challenges are different. In non-monogamous relationships, the framework for communication is crucial, while for the monogamous relationships, transparency is more important. - Non-monogamous relationships almost require a closer alignment on emotional maturity between all parts to succeed and to avoid that anyone feels at a disadvantage. In a monogamous relationship it’s easier and more natural to ”take turns” in individual development, and even be supported in the the process by the other. - I agree with @Dylan Sean that love is a muscle that needs to be exercised. And that is also regardless of whether you have a monogamous or non-monogamous relationship. But in the monogamous relationship it takes more work. It’s easy to slip into ”this is fine”. But if both are willing to put in the effort, the relationship can be renewed time and time again. It’s just a matter of being open and willing to make the changes necessary to kronor alive. - Any relationship requires that each individual makes a conscious choice to be in the relationship, and not let themselves be defined bybthe relationship. I don’t know if I will ever go back to a non-monogamous relationship. My husband and I have just recently made the effort to expand on platonic friendships, both together and individually, which has changed both of us and given new life to our marriage. It both increases the necessary validation that can fade over time, but also creates a greater dynamic in our everyday. I don’t know how long it will last, and I have accepted that someday my husband may choose someone else over me. But right now I love him probably more than I ever have.

After today’s pretty emotional session I just want to share a pic of the tattoos I got a few months ago. The hummingbird symbolizing resilience in the face of everything working against us, and the thorny rose growing out of a wound in my chest to show that change can be painful but in spite of that we still have the capacity to bloom into our true selves.

@Homar Maximiliano Really? That’s great. And it’s also one of things I love about tattoos: everyone has their own reasons and meanings behind them.
