Yesterday, I did the scariest thing I've done to date.
I posted this article on the ElephantJournal and announced my biggest insecurity to the whole world.
I'm 25 and a virgin and had a bit of a panic attack last night after publicly letting everyone know.
This thing— this thing I’ve been struggling with since childhood— is out in the world. And while only nine people have even seen the post, I'm terrified and relieved at once.
Everyone has insecurities. Some hate their skin, others their voice. Maybe there's a skill you haven't mastered yet, or doubt you will ever master (this is most likely not true).
My biggest insecurities have all revolved around sexuality, for as long as I can remember.
So if that's you, then I want to give you permission to fully own that part of yourself. It doesn't need to be hidden or shamed.
If I can let the people know, so can you.
You don't want to write an article about it? Let's talk.
Lastly, I want to show my gratitude to Jordan Gray and Demetra Nyx whose websites lead me to the ElephantJournal. I had no idea that site existed before reading about it on their blogs, so thank you.
See? Just another way each of us is being guided where we're supposed to be.
And maybe I inspired you to get yourself out there as well. If so, that's the best outcome I could have wished for.
