Hi, Sapphics. I'm in love with a woman.
When you discover you're attracted to women at 30 years old.
Hi, Sapphics. I’m in love with a woman.
As a highly educated liberal woman, I felt like I would know if I were attracted to the female sex. My parents were always accepting, my peers comfortable experimenting, and options for me to explore myself plentiful. Although I, like most women, went through a yearning phase of wishing I was into women (or at the very least that I wasn’t into guys,) it never blossomed for me… until now. I’m falling in love with a woman and it’s taken me completely by surprise.
In the absence of a stable surface to stand on during this shift, I began writing. My dream is to chronicle my experience with sacred womanhood, sexuality, and life. My connection to spirituality and grounded presence will be my basis here, but my goal is to bring the darkness into the light and cleanse it from my soul.
This will be messy, conflicting, contradicting, and silly. I hope to post once a week, but this place will change and grow as I do. Most ardently, I believe that life is for fun and that we shouldn’t get dragged down too much by analysis and fear. This will be a place for expression and peace.
So let’s begin.
With honesty and humility,
Your Sapphic
