A Journey In Vulnerability

[Elgirldani]

It’s when you drive as fast as you can down the on ramp, close your eyes and turn left. The cars next to you should scatter.

Aaaahhhh, I see! Sounds fun

Glad I was on 4 wheels and not 2. Both the horn and the finger still works.

Happy to hear everything is still in working order.

Hey everyone!

For those of you who have been following this thread from the beginning, you'll know that I had a couple of really bad years dealing with depression and severe anxiety. I don't remember if I specifically mentioned it, but I lost a lot during that time, including years worth of advancement in my job. Well, I started over with a new company back in November, and have been working my ass off to make sure that I was getting on the right people's radar, and today that paid off! I received a promotion, with a raiseD) and they were already mentioning that they want me to keep moving up!

This means so much to me on a lot of levels. It's going to help out financially, and that takes a lot of stress off me. It will make planning for the future easier as well. But I think the most important thing to me is that I feel like I'm finally getting back to where I was before, and that's not something I was sure would ever happen. I still deal with bad days and high anxiety, but with support from people who care about me, and hard work, I've been able to start over. So if anyone reading this is struggling, just don't give up!

Very glad to hear of your good news! It is inspiring me as I try to deal with difficulties, both professional and personal...

Thanks, same to you! No snow here, I think we are past that part of the year. Now we are into thunder storms and tornado watches.

Goodbye for now

Hi friends

I know it's been a minute since I've been here. Life has been very busy, very stressful, and very much kicking my butt the last couple of weeks. I've tried to stop in and give some of the headlines, but with one thing or another my time has been dedicated elsewhere.

Funny thing about time is that it never changes. It just keeps being the same constant flow and we are the ones who have to try to navigate it, hold onto it, waste it, use it wisely, make more of it, ect. And none of that is easy. Some of it doesn't even make sense. But we all try our best to make it work for us because no one wants to be on the wrong side of time.

I've spent most of my life feeling like time was just passing by with no real meaning. Now I know it was bringing me second by second, minute by minute, hour, day, week, year by year to now. The time when I can say that even though I'm not done growing and becoming who I want to be, I'm done feeling sorry and ashamed of who I am. I am weak at times, but I'm stronger than I believe. I am stubborn and closed-off, but I have opened my heart to a love I never thought I'd find. I am beautifully flawed, but I can at least see the beauty now. I am vulnerable, but I am not alone.

This is the last pic I plan to post here on this thread. I have loved every post, every interaction, and every moment of vulnerability that you all have graced me with your company through. I'll still be around and checking in here when I get the chance so if you see me on the boards, say hi, drop a PM, whatever you feel like. It's possible I may start a new thread once life becomes more stable again. But if not, know that you all have been an important part of my journey and I'm so grateful for you guys.

Glad to hear things are going well. Yeah, sometimes it just feels like we're drifting along with no particular direction. Been there, done that. Perhaps I'm still doing it to some degree. But at least I make sure to dedicate part of my time to my own enjoyment lol. That certainly makes things much easier. Take care on your journey. It never really ends.

No, the journey never ends. Thanks for being a great sparring partner

Like I said though, I’ll still be around when time allows.

vul·ner·a·bil·i·ty
noun - the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or harmed, either physically or emotionally.

Hey everyone! I'm pretty new to Lit, and this will be my first photo thread. First thread ever, actually.

I've had a love/hate relationship with myself my whole life. I'm sure many can relate. I wanted to start this thread as a kind of journal to myself, and I'm inviting you all along. There will of course be pics, some erotic, some not. But the main purpose of this thread is to document my journey to becoming truly vulnerable with myself, and with others.

Because there is beauty in everything, if you are only willing to look. That is what I am holding onto, as I continue my journey to self-love. (Not the dirty kind, you beautiful perverts!)

All comments, critiques, and encouragements are welcome and very much appreciated, as are almost all questions. Although I reserve the right not to answer, I will do my best to live up to this thread's name.

Happy viewing!

Thank you

My beautiful Buggy. Even though you're taking a hiatus from posting here I know that we all have benefited from having gotten to be allowed into your beautiful mind. And to have been given the ultimate gift to be allowed into your heart I will forever be thankful for you. You truly are the most beautiful and sweetest, most caring woman I know.

My sweet Bear. Thank you
