Aw thank you @creative_writer
I think today might be a good start to do some things that make your cup feel a bit more full if you can ❤️
Is there something you can do today that might help?

Self-soothing sounds like a great idea, I really hope you start to feel like your cup is filling back up again soon 💘 @creative_writer
I am just working today and not doing much tonight, a bit of a chill one for me (which I need!)

@amber22, I was reading through one of my poems and added a bit to it. I think I understand why it hurts so much, my first sexual experience had to be traumatic 😭. I never wanted it to be this way. It’s like I got exposure when I never wanted it, it’s hard when you grew up conservative.
I hope you are able to get some downtime during the evening 💕

Aww I am sorry that brought up some hard feelings for you, you're doing really well at spending some time for yourself today. It's not easy some days 💕
Thanks so much, I think I'll watch something later on, what about you? @creative_writer

A rest sounds like a really good idea 💕 And your night sounds very relaxing, just what you need.
I'm not watching anything in particular at the moment, I watched the movie 'the kissing booth' yesterday and I really enjoyed it, theres a few of them so I might watch that! @creative_writer
