On March 6, this blog is going to be five years old.
I know, what? Really?
Five years ago, I started this blog feeling super insecure about myself and my kinks. I was frightened that some of my interests were too intense and worried I would be rejected by people if I was frank about what I wanted. This blog became a space for me to explore and articulate my sexuality, to come to terms with it. As I’ve said so many times before, it’s the only journal I have ever been able to keep.
It’s evolved so much from just a place to work through things. And even though my life has lately been really crazy, I’m always grateful to know this blog is a “safe” place for me that exists. I’ve gotten messages about being inspiring, and that’s always a little alarming to me. Mostly because I’m never fully sure if I actually have my shit together. But maybe that’s part of it?
Anyway, I want to celebrate the little five year birthday of this blog by inviting you all to treat yourselves. Seriously. If anything, writing these five years has taught me to be good to myself, to not judge myself, to delight in the qualities I once was ashamed of.
So do something great. Buy a new toy. Fulfill a new fantasy. Pick up a new hobby. Kinky or not, I want to hear about it. Send along a story, submit a photo, get creative and I’ll share ‘em on my blogaversary. (Anonymous/private submissions also welcome. If you don’t want me to share, just let me know!)
But seriously, tumblr. That’s my homework for you. Due on my desk by March 6.
Go go go!
Hey followers. The blogaversary is coming up! Remember to treat yourselves.
Tomorrow! Tomorrow! Treat yourselves!
