since i was little i always wanted to take pictures in a white sheet. it represented purity to me, and i always knew i was a very sexual person but still remained pure. all my life i've been told to "cover up", and grew up being told things like simply sending your nudes out to someone you don't fully trust is bad. of course i understand why, but i was never socialized in a community where nudity was acceptable and pleasure wasn't shamed, whether you decide to share your experiences with other people or not. i hope one day we live in a world where being poly or wanting open relationships is fully accepted, wearing what you want (at grown age) is also accepted, and you can post your intimate experience with yourself and others without getting absolutely shamed for it. at the end of the day, people need to learn how to just let people live. but in reality, how could we ever get there when people don't live themselves? so speaking from a realistic standpoint, we will never get there, and the best thing to do is to just live for ourselves. bringing it back to the white sheet, it was such a little thing but now that i'm 20 remembering finding myself, starting with that i knew i was going through a lot of different life traumas and still remained pure, it means a lot to me. white is one of my favourite "colours", as it not only resembles purity, but of the younger version of myself finding hope in a dark place, which lead me to the light at the end of the tunnelš¤.
