From the bottom of my heart, Happy Holidays! One of the big goals of this blog was to create... well, a joyous space about pedophilia. Not joyous as in "rah rah rah, give me a P! Give me an E!" but joyous as in presenting a view of a life that is positive. Acknowledging our humanity; supporting and guiding us in finding joy; sharing the positives along with productive ways to work with the negatives; showing how we can demonstrate our humanity to those who are not like us.
There are too many people who have to struggle, who are a little bit broken inside, because they've lived their lives knowing they don't belong. Knowing that the world hates them for something they can't control.
I want this blog to be joyous because there are not enough joyous spaces for people like us. A serious place, that considers serious issues, but ultimately uplifting. In how we express ourselves, in finding the light, and in helping people find their way through: joyous. I like my life, and I want you to like your life, too.
So, from the bottom of my heart, Happy Holidays! Take some time to be with friends, family, books, or video games: whatever brings you joy. This blog has the beginnings of a joyous community for me, and I hope it does for you as well.
Meanwhile, I'm actually going to be picking up the pace on my blog posts here. Not dramatically, but probably at least once a month. I just finished a long post about ChatGPT and pedophilia, but posting it right on Christmas Eve didn't feel quite right, so it will come in a few days. Other posts will follow soon: more reflections on Quora, an interesting e-mail exchange I had with a reader, and more.
But for now, Happy Holidays. As a kid, my parents were not really religious but I made them get a Christmas tree anyway; I'm not sure I even realized it was a religious holiday. So this season always make me happy, and I hope you can join in on that with me. <3 You can find the original article, along with reader comments (and the opportunity to leave your own) at Leonard's blog. | |
