@Strangeloop I struggled for a long time to accept my sexuality. Even now some days I catch myself thinking I am wrong in some way. I was quite content thinking I was a camp straight man, until my repressed homosexual urges started to show up. Its taken a lot to really change my perspective on my sexuality and like I say, sometimes my old denial habits come back in temporarily. I think self acceptance and love critical here. Also, experiment! Try to do this without fear. Fear of what this makes you, what other people would think etc. Go suck that dick and bloody enjoy it as well. If that is what you want in that moment. There is nothing to do here, except ACCEPT. Love yourself and every aspect that includes. Maybe journal some childhood experiences you had that made you think this is wrong and build up these beliefs. Try to remove the wool that's been pulled over your eyes. Good luck and lots of love.

Hey, I'm wondering how to reintegrate my inner child. It seems my therapy sessions have been leading to the very foundation of my neurosies (awesome!) and the foundation, some might say obviously, is all the shit from my childhood! Funny how I've been telling myself that I'm over that, and just blaming other things that are still strongly connected to the initial programming. So anyway, I decided after my most recent counseling session to confront my mum about how much of a neglectful, unloving, reckless bitch she was back then. So that was cool. Over the past few months I have felt a very strong urge to cry, but it just wouldn't happen. However, just last night, I decided to do an inner child guided meditation and within a few minutes, I was bawling. It was fucking great. So, I would like to hear from those of you who have had success in this area, how you went about it, tricks and tips and all that good stuff. Love.

@Scholar @mandyjw Thank you.

@Nahm the concept for an album is there, a heavy theme of metamorphosis. Half of the material is there, got something of a 2-3 year plan for it to be released.

Yooo, I'll try n keep this as short and sweet as possible. 3 years ago I was messing around with ecstasy and ended up having 3 extremely terrifying, upsetting and paranoid experiences. The undertone of every one was that I was way too different and eccentric from the people who were around me, people think I'm weird, no one will interact with me, they're all talking about me etc. I was surrounded by, for lack of a better term 'wannabe gangsters' and general sheep whilst being a pretty camp effeminate guy. I think this may have weirded them out n made them be all cold to me and just cunts in general. So anyway, after these experiences, which really did take its toll on my psyche, (was so stupid to carry on taking ecstasy after 1st experience) I quickly changed. I became what I thought people wanted me to be. I started dressing differently, swapping floral shirts for big label polos and boots for trainers and I was not the same person. After the 2nd experience this happened and I distinctly remember feeling very disconnected and like I couldn't even remember who I was, obviously except my name and stuff. I felt very lost and alone and think I decided to try and fit in so that people would like me. All while this was happening I developed a shaking habit at some point, not sure when. Now ever since I have been a hot mess but I have worked on myself a lot and am relatively okay 3 years on. But I'm still very shaky and feel like I have not fully processed the old trauma. I have slowly stepped back into my old self with regards to being quite effeminate but feel there's still some way to go. I have been feeling very angry recently which I feel is a positive sign as it has just been constant fear for 3 years. Essentially, I want to revisit the trauma that made me this shaky, fearful mess and come to terms with it and move on and be calm and cool and ready to pursue my lofty music goals. Any help appreciated. Love.

@Nahm Thanks for the link. I've always maintained that if I could have a minimum wage salary, so to speak, producing and performing music, that would be more than enough for me. Heavily inspired by hip hop, 80s pop, rock and ambient music. Think Michael Jackson rapping with Brian Eno on production. Lol. I have a poetry channel on YouTube if you're into that. It's called Set The Stanza.
