I just decided I'd use the date to title my blogs so I didn't have to be creative. I'm trying to break into the writing field, so I'm supposed to be creative! Maybe I like being able to relax when I'm writing just for me.

I've looked around a lot at this site, pretty much scoured every corner of it. What is compelling to me, is the sheer number of addicts around these parts. That is the most heartbreaking thing about the entire discovery. Sure, I knew sex addicts existed... I dated one! But seeing the other side of it is a mixed bag for me, it dredges up old hurts and new ones.

There is a part of me that has true and deep sympathy for these addicts, especially the ones that struggle to fight it and become a better person. Some of the writings here are so desperate, so vulnerable, how could you look upon them with a cruel eye? I know that I could not, even with my experiences.

It is a shame that this thing has to control so many, that the body and its programming enslaves otherwise good people.

Am I glad that the man I am dating is not one of these? Yes, I have already been down that path and it is a hard one. I will leave that up to much stronger women than myself. But, when it comes down to it, we all have our weaknesses. Some are worse than others, but not one of us is perfect. We are all a work of art in progress.

When you feel ugly, please try to remember that.

We all began as tiny innocent beings, who knew nothing of this world when we came into it. For a moment, try imagining that place of purity and freedom. All together as little ones, not having this bottomless void hanging over us. It is a beautiful, peaceful thought. I believe in my heart of hearts, that we can return there. It is not lost forever.

This entry really has nothing to do with me at all I guess. Not everything has to be.

Fight the good fight. Never give up.
