Samira ♥️ can’t forget my own facial expressions when i first read it.. i felt so many things.. joy, surprise, inspiration, admiration for you, and most of all curiosity for myself
My god, woman! Hard relate to many bits here but: At forty, it had reached its maturity and was ready to be opened and tasted. I had completed a year of therapy and worked through my years of sexual repression and feelings of shame. I felt bolder and ready to ask for pleasure.
This is mindblowing, Samira! Thank you for writing this!
Aww, thanks. I do really vanish. Life and livelihood and miscellany take over...also I allow them to. My writing notebook travels the world with me, but I don't write enough.
I absolutely love the nakedness of this piece. Very well written, Samira 🌻
