I’ve asked this bitch for a divorce going on 5 years now
But somehow she finds a way to creep in and act as if we’re all good
Then wants to bring up something from my past to make me feel less than what I am
Like I understand I’ve made mistakes
But bitch stop fucking with me then
I try to leave
You beg me to stay
Because you actually make me more productive some days
But other you have me sitting on the bathroom floor in tears because you really don’t care about what I go through
You just want to intensify the fear
So I ask you again may I please have a divorce
Because if I have to keep living with you
I might just end up in a hurst
Dear Anxiety, I’m begging you to go away
I originally saw your post on TikTok promoting your work, and I had to come over here to read the full essay because of the topic. Perhaps, I’m optimistic but I believe that we are at the beginning of a new sexual renaissance. Of course, when you mentioned the transactional sex that has been popularized I think this has become the standard under the fall of capitalism, women resorting back to the commodification of their body. This is an especially heartbreaking when I see it encouraged within black communities for obvious historical reasons. Despite the claims, this isn’t sustainable for the average woman who doesn’t want to partake in sex work. It’s the reason we redefine sexual liberty every decade and therefore the relationships we develop change as a consequence. Yet “traditionalism” and “conservatism” will have those that abide by these rules believe they are law, sealed to the fate of living in this world. We are in a crisis of soul connection entirely. Once society can rewire the damage of fighting against empathy to such a degree that the only thing massively progressive is the havoc reeked, we will be much closer to a more prosperous sensual embodiment. I loved the research you pulled into your talking points as well. Taking up addiction would make sense to cope with the growing depersonalization and dehumanization these women must feel. Overall, this is one of my favorite topics and I think the more we apply critical redirection (which isn’t a covert phrase for shame) the more people will resist succumbing to immorality and cease the viral infection of it.
