I sometimes put my own pleasure over respect for others, and I honestly enjoy myself. That’s my biggest issue; I forget that life can be fun, that you can give into the simple essentials; sex, food, and comfort, and still be ok. I spend so much time trying to better myself, yet I never feel more comfortable than when I give in. It’s hard pretending to be a goddess when you want to escape reality in the same way everyone does. Because that’s the point isn’t it? Of all the drugs, alcohol, sex with people you don’t know, meeting randoms and laughing for hours; we just want to escape. For a moment, even just a second, we want that one small piece of time where we don’t have to think anymore, don’t have to pretend to be someone we’re not, or keep up with social norms, or battle against our own minds. We just want to give in, wholly, completely, utterly, to the simplest things on earth. These things are truly beautiful.
