A Conclusion.

A Conclusion.

It is absolutely imparative that I get a companion animal.

I don't really have any combative training experience, but it it strikes me as irresponsible to be grabbing your students by the throat in the first 15 minutes of your first class.

You're teaching self defense. To women. Does it not seem likely you'll have some trauma survivors?

Tried a self defense course tonight. Realized i am not ready to have people touch me.

Particularly not cishet white men. And particularly not around the throat.

PSA - I don't know why I am surprised I have to say this.

If you are here getting your jollies to my trauma, you are on the wrong blog. This is not a power dynamic kink or an excercise in sub/dom. This is not sexy, and if you are in any way aroused by anything I'm writing you are not welcome here.

I try not to yuck people's yums, but i have absolutely no respect for nonconsensual or exploitative use of my experiences. Particularly some of the shittiest moments of my life.

Clear off, creeps.

I hope you can find a way to continue your healing - you deserve nothing less, and everything more. I hope you remember your bravery 🌿

You sent  this at just the right time.  Thanks for the support; I needed it  :)

Hey I just want to say I think you are good enough and deserve happiness and hope and safety from harm.

You are very sweet for taking the time to reach out to me. Thank you for the kind words; they mean more than you know.

Amazing.
