I have a potentially sensitive question for you:
Have you ever felt... for lack of a better word... unfuckable?
Like, "yeah I'm funny... Sure, I'm a great converstionalist... I'm smart and talented in certain ways...
...but I'm not physically SEXY."
In a culture that brainwashes us into thinking that our sexiness is synonymous with having very specific (and rarely-naturally-occurring) figures, and gives very little attention to all the other things that contribute to our attractiveness as human beings...
... it can sometimes be harder to believe that you are genuinely, uniquely sexually attractive -- that you are worthy of LUST -- than it is to believe you are worthy of love.
I posted a whole article about this concept of self-lust and how important it is for body image and feelings of sexual worthiness.
In the post, I share a few experiences I had that led me to a breakthrough moment where I finally, genuinely, blissfully fell in love with the part of my body that I've felt the most body shame and insecurity around -- my small breasts.
Since that breakthrough moment, it feels like the time I spend feeling sad / disappointed / judgey about my breasts (and my body in general, actually) has decreased by about 95%.

Wow, your comment just made my whole day! Thank you so much, I’m glad your brother pointed you in my direction!
