A Journey In Vulnerability

I'm glad with your last pic you decided to show off your best feature...

You :)

Be well and blessed.
 
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. :heart: :cathappy:

You will be missed beautiful lady greatly missed.:)
 
I enjoyed being a bit of a lurker on here. I loved stopping in to see you and read your posts. Take care of yourself and thanks for being open and honest here.

I'm glad with your last pic you decided to show off your best feature...

You :)

Be well and blessed.

You will be missed beautiful lady greatly missed.:)

Thank you all! I’ll still be around, but I think I’ve turned into a lurker, lol. :rose:
 
Checking in to see how you're holding up....

Kisses :kiss:

It’s been a tough week but some things were resolved today that should make life easier going forward so I’m calling that a win! Now if only the rain would stop so this headache would go away! :) :rose:
 
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! :cathappy:

Absolutely lovely
 
Good morning lovelies! It’s been a rough one so far. Out of control cats, stormy weather, and no sleep are not a good combo on me, lol. Hope you all are having a better go of it! :)

So I read that it’s National Compliment day. So I’d like to compliment all of you on your good taste in photos. :D

Lol, jk, jk. But seriously, what are some of the best compliments you’ve ever received? Personally, I love it when people compliment my mind.

There may be another pic later today, it just depends on what I’m feeling like. Stay tuned though! :cathappy:

A woman’s brain is her sexiest feature....
 
Hey you, I'm thinking of you and hope you're doing OK :rose::kiss:

Hey, you’re so sweet, thanks for thinking of me. I’m doing ok, been having some ups and downs the last few weeks and have been nonstop busy. I might post an update later for anyone who’s interested. :rose:
 
An Update

Hey there! It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything of substance and as a few of you are still kind enough to check in on me, I figured why not post an update?

Things are going really well with my Bear. Yesterday was our 2 month-iversary! I feel like the luckiest girl ever to have found my soulmate. We are working to build a solid foundation for our future and I love him more every day. :heart:

Work has been a struggle recently. Some of you will remember that I was promoted about a month ago. Well, things haven’t been going the greatest in my new position. This is particularly difficult for me because I am a perfectionist and I hate feeling like nothing I do is ever enough, which is very much how it’s been the last few weeks. To the point that I’ve been having major anxiety attacks at least once or twice a week, and I’ve felt myself slipping back into some of my darker moods. Thankfully, I have really good bosses who pay attention and have seen me start to spiral, so I should be changing back to my old department within the next couple of weeks.

On top of all the stress I’ve been feeling at work, we are still in the process of getting our house ready to sell. It’s been several weeks of non stop work, in between all of our full time jobs. We’ve painted, scrubbed, and rearranged basically the entire house, and it’s finally supposed to go on the market tomorrow! I’ll be so happy to be done with this place, although I have no idea yet where I might end up next.

It’s been a lot, all at once this last month. And honestly, a lot of it was on the negative side. I don’t know what the next few weeks and months are going to hold, but I’m hoping that things will start to calm down and I will feel better. It’s been tough. I had been doing really well with my depression and anxiety so to feel that slipping away has been especially discouraging.

But one thing that I try to hold on to is that I’m not alone. I have support, I have people who love me and want to see me stay happy and healthy and for me to succeed. If I can hold onto that, and to them, during the bad night or days, I know I’ll be ok. :heart:
