❤️ I have an imaginary world wherein everyone gets two luxuries: the privilege of privacy for all things related to sexuality, and freedom from labels pretending to name our unnameable selves. The liminal surf-line sounds like the most true thing. I wish for you a companion who respects your privacy and allows you to be yourself without fanfare or trumpets or even words ... until you say it’s festival day. ❤️

thank you for sharing - truly - it resonates deeply.

(and I also have memories of that ferry growing, although not quite as profound and reflective, more on the smell of cinnamon-sugar-y donuts and fried fish mixed in one)
