almost ashamed to say, but if you expect to get better there isn’t another way

you have to be willing to tell on yourself

i won’t try to explain and i don’t know that i could but along the way i have confused sex with love

i understand this isn’t an uncommon presumption, but i am putting the focus on me, and it has been a pleasant revelation that i can show love and affection without the addition of sex

which has allowed me to be kind and considerate without any other agenda

i can love someone without taking my pants off, a conception that was foreign to me not that long ago

i do not offer these notes lightly, as it doesn’t paint a very mature person, i offer them in hopes that someone might be willing to examine their thoughts and see if they are a help or hindrance

keep your pants on
