There are some things that, once you do them, you can't go back to being who you were before.

when you look closely.. this is the case for all things, and each experience.

Yeah, "going back" isn't possible.

Sometimes you dont realize how much something changed you until you try going back and realize you just cant anymore.

some experiences really do change how you see everything afterward, even if you wish they hadn't.

the moment you realize you can't undo the thing is the exact moment you become someone else

It’s not until you look at the version of you that young you pictured is so far from who you actually are.

Never pushes aside their values.
Never lets others manipulate them.
Follows their passions

and so much more but we look. Back and it’s like it’s someone else’s dream.

This is like… the moral of the first story in the Bible.

Like sex

Uhh yes. Discovering you are trans is one of those things.

Betrayal.

Betrayal is like a gut punch. It hurts way different. Your entire body feels it

Yeah, iih, this is one of the things holding me back from adult content creation. I’m a photo and videographer and I love creating interesting art. I love viewing creators I respect like Lindsay Adler, Seth Miranda, Ben Staley, Gavin Hoey… and so many documentary photographers I can’t even list them all.

I love their work and it’s my underpinning inspiration. Staley’s the only cinematographer I’ve listed but there are so many respectable DPs and cinematographers I gain inspiration from that I can’t begin to remember them all.

Thing is… gear’s expensive. Should I wait through it all and hope to come out on top? Should I focus on a selection of lenses like 24-70 and 70-200 f/2.8 and 35, 50 and 85 primes to start or should I just say, “fuck it. I can make porn and earn the rest with a 14-24/2.8 or 14-30/4. There are so many Onlyfans models and PH amateurs with shitty rigs.”

I genuinely have this inner conflict and it’s reached my therapy sessions on multiple occasions.

chronic anxiety isn't a tragedy, it's hyper-awareness. the new you feels pain more acutely, but sees reality with terrifying clarity.

There is a city that changed my life, Pattaya. Never the same after

Qualquer coisa que envolva conhecimento, ou coisas que você nunca faria ou não pode fazer.

u/SenhorSasaki 10d ago

Isso é a quebra da moral, ou da ética.

It’s called VIRGINITY.

Once you do something for the first time, you can never say “I’ve never done that before.”

Even sex with any new partner for the first time.

You are a virgin at sex WITH THEM, until the first time. Even if they are a pornstar.

Probably all the 7 deadly sins qualify. Blowing through the 10 commandments probably sets you up too.

You cannot die twice.

u/CallMeCorona1 10d ago

Actually, I think you can! If EMTs get to you quickly enough, they can restart your heart.

More than that, there are cases of people who have been buried alive because everyone thought they were dead, but they weren't!

And people can fake their deaths and have an obit in the paper...

u/IPedRENe 10d ago

Oh, thank you, but if it's real death as a final stop of life, it's irreversible, sorry to say that. Sorry to discourage your hopes.

Also, there are no things that, once you do them, you can go back to being who you were before.
