where are the tears

Me Explorer
September 14, 2001
Is it my physical proximity? Is there something wrong with me?I am walking around in a state of fear and sorrow the likes of which I don't believe I could have imagined before Tuesday. Only I just can't seem to cry. At all. I just want the release and the health of crying to pour…

Frustrated

Me Explorer
August 15, 2001
My body longs for meaningful intimacy with a woman. Intimacy that is physical, yes, but also intellectual; emotional; spiritual. It is a level of intimacy I truly believe can only be achieved between another woman and myself; perhaps my desire is so great that it clouds my awareness of and dims m...
