Quote by IAMLOVE
I love you too, Castle!

On a very serious note, I was reminded by a beautiful and most kind lady that I am perfectly me.

And I am perfectly myself, from the time I was born until I die. And so are all of you. You were born perfectly you. (I'm not talking about perfection)

No matter how we grew up, no matter what physical limitations we have or any other kind, we are still perfectly us. That will never change, no matter what life has thrown at us.

I'm not saying we don't make mistakes, we all do. But whatever happened to us, isn't our fault.

It's so easy to beat ourselves up internally or even self-harm, get into bad habits. We do whatever we need to do to survive.

I just want to say, you, as pure as you were born, your essence and everything about you, can't be changed.

We can be hurt horribly, that isn't our fault.

So please be easy and kind to yourself. As I read somewhere, you will be the longest relationship you ever have your life.

Please take care, things do get better.

I love you all too.

(Thank you to all who have always shown support and love to me here, you get the credit of my knowledge. Thank you for your gift. You deserve so much credit. Thank you. I'm adding what I know and believe)

Correction. I'm not that rich.

Quote by browncoffee


Write about two hot girls who meet on the internet. One is American and one is British (but warm coffee coloured). They seduce a ridiculously hot man and also rob him because he's kind of an asshole but very rich. And there should be kitty ears and lollipops but please hold the ketchup.

Just know I LOOOOVVVVEE y'all, and there ain't a damn thing y'all can do about it.

Quote by MsDirtyLittleSecret
I've known about the semi-colon project for a while now, and I remember loving the idea of having the semi-colon tattooed on my ankle. Although, I haven't gotten it yet since I haven't come to terms with everything that I am and have done. I'm not brave enough to share my whole story just yet but I'll get there.

I do love all the positivity this thread has though and would like to contribute as most positivity that I can muster to help anyone else who needs it. Everyone has a fascinating and heroic story of their own and it's beautiful to see everyone so willing to express themselves.

Quote by TonyaL
Today is a bad day. He makes me want to yell, scream, and cry all at once. How can one person make me feel so inadequate constantly? Why can't I have the courage to tell him how I feel? I can barely get out I'm having a bad day. He only thinks about himself and i know he's depressed but he refuses help at all. I feel lost and uncertain about life, the future, everything. I just want to hide away from it all. If it wasn't for my kids I think I would have just broken a long time ago. I just want the pain to stop sometimes and it doesn't. I never asks how I feel not that I would say anyway. How did life get this way? How am I scared of everything? Why do I let him get under my skin? I guess 16 years of marriage and three kids under his mom's roof are those answers. I don't know who I am or what I am going to be of do. On the outside I say with a great big smile I'm 40 and fabulous. On the inside I die a little more everyday.

Sorry for the vent. I really need to let it out and so much more. I have nowhere to go to talk so I came here. I need to allow the tears to stop before he gets home now. Hugs to you all.

You thought you had a shot with sprite? Hands off, fam. She's entirely taken.

Quote by Liz
*stands up, looking nervous*

Hi, everyone. My name is Liz, and... and I'm an addict.

Everyone: "Hi, Liz."

Hey. So, I've been using effects pedals for quite a while now. At first, it was just a bit of a cheap thrill, but more recently it has started to affect my bank balance. What started off as a few pounds here and there is now quite a bit more. The Mooer and Tone City stompboxes were good to begin with, but over time they became a gateway to harder stuff. You all probably know what I'm talking about. Before I knew it, Boss, Electro-Harmonix, and MXR boxes had become Strymon, Origin Effects, and Walrus Audio masterpieces glimmering in oceanic turquoise, oxblood red, and sun-fire yellow. The only pedals that give me the fix I need now are high-end and boutique.

Stranger #1: "How do they make you feel?"

Oh, don't get me wrong, they make me feel fucking great. I can run some delicious overdrive into my Big-Sky reverb, add a pinch of delay and I am gone for a whole afternoon. They are the most incredible, ethereal, atmospheric sounds you can imagine. If God played electric guitar, that is what it would sound like. Warm, chewy, driven-tube notes with sustain that rolls on and on forever until finally fading into nothingness like a wisp of intangible cloud.

Stranger #2: "Woah."

I know, right? Anyway, my fiancée said that I have to come here to get some counselling and I think that's probably for the best, so here I am.

Hmmm... It was more like you posted something that would not fly if anyone else posted it. I mentioned this. You then attempted to imply I was a hypocrite by saying that I have posted similar things (which wasn't an accurate comparison really). Then I reminded you that my post you mentioned was deleted. You then could have just deleted the posts after realizing I had made a valid point but instead you posted that you had "fixed" it making it look like you had fixed one of my posts when in fact you had just deleted your original post and my post where I questioned the double standard employed in deciding who can post certain things. So nothing was really "fixed" to appease my sensibilities. Just to be clear.

Just deleting the post would have been the appropriate thing to do. Instead you tried to create a false narrative.

Quote by Magical_felix


What? More like you fixed it (deleted your posts) so you don't look bad.

Quote by Magical_felix


No, no to everything.

Quote by Magical_felix


I like how if a guy would have said something like, I would just cut her clit off, it would be deleted. One time a girl asked if her tits are nice so I cut them off!!! Heehee Haha yuk yuk!

Quote by latecomer91364
I was just hanging out, playing 'Latest Forum Topics' roulette, when I saw this, clicked on, and looked around. i was thinking: 'this is nice, people posting positive things' but when I went to Sprite's original post I was blown away.

This is one of the most worthwhile threads on Lush, and I hope Sprite is doing worlds better than when she spoke about herself in that post.

My father killed himself when I was 18. As the youngest of 8, I always wondered if he just waited until the last of his children reached majority.

A very difficult subject, but these are the subjects most deserving of careful consideration.

Quote by trinket

A couple of questions for those ladies who have been the centre of a gangbang. (4 or more men)

What made you want to be a part of one?

What did you hope to gain or learn from the experience?

Who chose the male participants?

Who determined what type of sex acts would be acceptable?

Did you feel uncomfortable or regretful at any time during or after the event?

Thanks.

No. For those of us that might want to someday get an Omnium Badge, this is a terrible thought. Honestly, I personally believe we could do away with some of the categories.

For those who already HAVE the Omnium Badge, they'd have to write a new story to keep it for every new category.

Quote by PhilU
If I was interested in her, then I'd still be interested in her after finding out she'd been abstinent for a long stretch. After my marriage broke down, I was abstinent for quite a while. At first, that was because I was hoping to resurrect the marriage. Then, after it became obvious that that wasn't going to happen, I made a conscious decision not to seek sex while I was getting my head together. I still think that was one of my better decisions. I didn't lose interest in sex, but without the complications of chasing it, I had some space to focus on some other things for the first time in my adult life.

I'm in my 40s - any woman my age that I meet is going to have at least some baggage. If that includes a period of abstinence, then so be it. As long as she wasn't spending the time with her 14 cats, allowing a hatred of men to fester, it should be fine (although then it's not the abstinence that would be the problem...) If she's ready for a relationship, then she's ready for a relationship...

Shrugs, because - freedom?
