Thoroughly enjoyed this article, nicely done

It did cost me a few night cracks evenings to decide whether I want to share it in the first place…

Thank you!

Only you could start with equations about orgasms and end up giving a genuinely moving essay on addiction, intimacy, and growing up. The self-awareness here? Wild. The vulnerability? Even wilder. Thanks for taking a messy, complicated topic and turning it into something real, thoughtful, and oddly hopeful 🤍 You definitely “won this one,” and it shows.

I was slightly afraid I might scare you off, but it seems like you proved me wrong again...

Thanks for reading and connecting, sis. It means heavens to me <3

I’m telling Mom.

My mom actually reads almost everything I write 😆😆😆 including this piece. So "she knows". We sometimes discuss my essays for like 20 minutes while I'm on my way back home from work.

You started it by calling me sis 😂

After that, we entered full sibling-zone chaos.

I love that your mom supports your work 🤍 that’s very sweet

I kinda start feeling like you really are party of my family (sorry if it sounds creepy.)

Btw. my life is full of women - mom, wife, sister (not you, my actual sister), 3 daughters, my sister has another 2 daughters... (which means our family name is going dead if one of us won't try the lottery again.)

Hahaha you’re fine! no creepiness detected at all 😂

And wow, you really are surrounded by women! That’s actually really sweet.

I’m surrounded by guys instead. My husband, my sons… even my cats are male lol
