No Thank You

September 25, 2024

I'm not interested in any community that has rules on how I should define myself to fit THEM or dictates my entire existence on a handful of factors.

Discovery

There are very few things I do genuinely like. My tastes are extreme and bizarre and it takes a lot to really reach me on a level that ticks EVERY box. I DEEPLY APPRECIATE a ton of stuff and I am grateful for a lot of experiences I have, sometimes especially with things that repulse me. Finding out I don't like something is just as thrilling, just as enlightening, just as powerful as finding out that I absolutely LOVE something. The discovery and the experience is what matters to me.
