I Shredded My Collection of Old Sex Pictures Tonight

With a sense of liberty and glee in my heart

Did I ever think my life would turn out like this? No. Never. Have I accepted that shit happens? Yep. Am I still that sexy woman in those nude pictures from twenty years ago? Yes, very much so.

Up until tonight, I couldn’t bear to flip through my little green photo album of naked Polaroids of my ex and me together in our prime.

Man, those were some good times.

I appreciate the memories those risqué photos captured for what they were, except that they brought me joy back then, but I needed to let them go now.

Sometimes, I think about what it would be like to have sex with my ex again. I can’t imagine being vulnerable with him like that ever again after he put my heart through a shredder. But it does cross my mind from time to time. So, to even be talking about this with you guys is huge as far as healing goes for me. I am learning to let go of things that don’t serve me anymore and become stronger (and lighter) because of it.

Thank you all for listening. I hope somehow, someway all of you understand what having my voice (truly) heard on this platform has meant to me.

*Full disclosure, I kept a few of my sexy pictures and taped them in my journal as a reminder of who I was twenty years ago. Even though I have a few more lines on my face and saggier boobs — I am an improved, wiser, and more ruthless version of that woman with sultry green eyes staring back at me in those photos.

Thank you for your love and support. You Are Loved. ❤
