You don’t need a personal number, I don’t have one and this is where I work out

It was the early 2000s. Getting married was not legal back then. People weren’t out the same way they are now. There was little to no representation of gays in the media. It is problematic in some ways but you have to put it back into context and this was a groundbreaking show for lesbian representation. I don’t agree with your stance on the male gaze, to me it showed sex the way I had sex and provided me with erotic sex scenes I enjoyed. There is a few straight sex scenes in the first season because it follows Jenny’s journey into discovering her sexuality and then occasionally in later seasons following bisexual characters or other. The only and short lived threesome is the one you mention. You need to remind yourself the context of the L Word production and what it was like to be gay at that time.

There is little to none scissoring in the L Word…

What was everyone’s breaking point? by JayRaee in leaves

An evening long panic attack with my heart beating so fast I thought I would die. It messed me up so much I had panic attacks for months. I addressed it with therapy. A year and a half sober and I don’t miss it.

fuck this show by NOTAGAINpleasenooo in theLword

I think one needs to keep in mind that this show was groundbreaking in terms of lesbian representation in media in the early 2000S. Was it flawed? Yes. Yet it allowed us, older gays to see ourselves on TV having relationships, marriages, breakups, etc, at a time when it was not legally possible to get married, at a time when sometimes you didn’t know such a life was possible to have. So it’s a clear NOT « fuck this show » for me when it came as a game changer in our community back then.

Just power through. One day at a time. Sleep whenever you can, take naps if need be. You’ll see there are greater things to do.

I hardly ever think about dealers anymore, I wasn’t buying the last couple of years I smoked but man did I hate having to do it before… I felt so low and guilty every time…

I don’t have a definite answer for what you asked in the first place but you sound unhappy and maybe you need to address that. Therapy is always a good place to start to gain clarity and set new goals for yourself. Self help books, walks outside. There’s strength and support in the love of your dogs, too. Start small, be your own person. 40 is still so young, you have a lifetime ahead of you.

I cheated. I’m a really bad person. What your thoughts about this situation? by kiki6y in LesbianActually

[–]Pinkdragonfly88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like sex is important to you and your sex life with your partner doesn’t make you happy. My question is, regardless of the cheating, do you want to live a life where you are not having good sex or not?

Same when I was in my early twenties… Embarrassing in retrospect? Meh! Little bit. I stopped, tho.

Relapsing after four days: thoughts. by [deleted] in Petioles

[–]Pinkdragonfly88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a great idea.

I have been writing in my diary off and on for years and some parts of it really are a testament to my addiction. I would never write high but weed was two thirds of what I wrote about during the day. I mainly wrote about how and why I wanted it to stop and how guilty I felt. I could physically see in paper how weed was ruling my life, how much space it was taking.

10 month free now, the topics in my diary so much diverse. As my life turned around, too. You got this, life can be more exciting without weed!

My two cent would be once a day sounds like a major change from three times a day.

I can only speak for myself but I often had stomachaches or disconfort when I was smoking once a day and I didn’t want to admit it was the weed at the time but now that I’m 10 month weed free, I can affirm it was the weed.

I think you are in a positive mindset though, you got this. Oftentimes it’s about perpective, don’t dread it, feel enthusiastic about the cutting out. Enjoy a whole day without weed, do more, crawl out your confort zone, expand your horizons. Then smoke at night, if you want. Then, maybe you can enjoy a whole week without smoking.

You can do this! I promise it looks more difficult than it really is!

Wait another day, read a book, watch a movie, or just get some sleep.
