One thing I enjoy and dread is oversharing. I like doing it in person to therapists and friends and other people willing to listen. I have refrained from oversharing on this blog out of fear of my family reading this. I don't want my sisters/cousins/aunts and family friends to say anything to me or my parents. I want to share myself with others in hopes of relatedness and catharsis. It feels good to get things off of your/my chest. When it stays inside and rattles around my brain it comes out in other frustrated ways.
A new new year's resolution is that I can overshare without shame or fear. You heard it here folks. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a lot has happened this year. I went back to school, moved to Chicago, and my home I grew up in is no longer my family's. So for all of you now I will share a few things that I normally wouldn't.
1.) I masturbated today and did not want to.
2.) I'm drinking alone right now.
3.) I have had not sex AT ALL this year.
(NOT ABOUT ME) 4.) I found out that a friend of mine who is 32 is a virgin.
So having said that, a lot has also not happened this year.
I was not intending to share that with you here right now, I'm leaving a lot out but I'm taking baby steps. I was planning on writing some douche filled end of the year motivational sh-peel to get the crowd pumped up, but that's not the case.
I'm putting into place for 2017 that I will over share on this blog, I will see you all then.
Most people can empathize or relate if they are willing to take off their own masks. Guilt embarrassment and shame can all make us sick. It takes courage to face the fear and do it any way. It helps you and inspires others. You're impressive. Happy 2017!
