In this rushed episode {sorry} things as natural as breathing can go a long way
Role-play, masculine, feminine and what that could lead to.
What we hope they DON'T mean, consensual sex, social responsibility and values.
There are three sides to a story: my side, your side and the truth!
Disconnected and being present “in” your body in private intimate moments of your life
“The world is what it is, and you are what you are. “ The Last Don
Gays, lesbians, bisexuals…call it what you want but there's more to “being in the closet” than sexuality
Unlike my previous episodes, I twisted some of the facts in this story but the bottom line is always the truth. Enjoy!

Not getting what my heart really wanted meant I had to show up for myself better and love harder.
Every one of us has fallen guilty of holding someone else responsible for our insecurities, wounds and lack... I did and I called it proudly the L word. ***Disclaimer: the wedding was in 2019, it sounded like I said 2009.
Love can not be built on fear, this is why I believe we have been taught the Islamic religion the wrong way...
