"I write for myself to validate and honor my younger self by answering all of the unanswered questions in an in-depth holistic manner, on how we can integrate our sexuality, learn and relearn, and be creative."

I read this as one of the key statements in your post (and perhaps the work you are presenting here on substack.)

You view and interpret sexuality as the hub or root of human existence. Sexuality as the source of procreation, creativity, identity, potential, relationships with self and others, meaningful social connections, community, and ultimately our place within our tribe/ in the world.

Given that sexuality is so fiercely suppressed in so many cultures (including our western so-called civilisation, which claims to be sexually liberated), and is causing so much suffering and destruction, you've obviously got your finger on the pulse of an important topic.

Thank you for the summary and guidance. Your writing is excellent, and so is your English!! 💙🙏

Your heartfelt message came at the right time. 🙏🙏

You made valid points that were consistent with my views on civilization, over-advertising, beautification, and other distorted perspectives that confuse emotional starvation with excessive, individual care.

When we learn to love ourselves, we involve others; we are inclusive; we collaborate to heal and build a new system of understanding, which requires time.

You grasped the essence of all of my work—the quote you mentioned represents my motivation, vulnerability, inner life, and ability to write for myself regardless of the outcome.

I recognize that my perspective on sexuality may be too broad for popular trends, what is most valued in our society, and the current of shortcuts, pseudoprofundity, instant gratification quotes, and quick results for the win, so I go slow and in-depth, no matter how long it takes to cover the topics I believe are interconnected.

This is a lifelong integration process of tapping into nuances, editing and re-editing, and allowing myself to be human.

Thank you for your support and for acknowledging my work. It means a lot to me, especially coming from you, since I hold a deep admiration for your perspectives as well. I wish you creative energy for your writing!

PS: I'm doing my best to write correctly and in line with my thoughts. Thank you for noticing and giving me a wonderful confidence boost. :)) 💙

Wow, I don’t even know where to start here! This is fantastic. So many resources. Thank you so much. I will attempt to get lost in these. Such an important topic that we reflect on maybe too late. We can’t bypass anything growing up yet I wish I knew then what I know now. 🙏❤️

I believe that by reflecting at any moment, we gain the ability to live more consciously. For some experiences, it may be too late, but for others, we may receive the information when we are most ready to receive it. I couldn't have written this in my twenties, not even in my mid-30s. I couldn't understand the pieces because they were just floating around, so I embraced them, mourning what wasn't there, while now I'm celebrating and feeling grateful for what I can receive at this moment. Thank you for being here, Jamie, for wanting to go deeper, for being curious, and for believing in my work. 🙏❤️
