    Letting people know

    Today I have had the problem of reaching out to long lost friends/ people I know and asking them if they want to have a sexual encounter.

    How can I be better? - I believe I am already enough.

    I think the pieces of success are within me-within us- to be successful at what we choose. Though the level of success may vary, I believe that we are enough. In middle school, I was bullied terribly. I never felt any true affection from the opposite sex and that hurt me. I found solace in...
