>>271257That’s insane that you felt that pressure to conform to that at such a young age. I remember having an existential crisis around 14-15 when I found out people were having sex regularly in high school- I legit thought it was normal to wait until marriage and that only a tiny degenerate fringe had sex for fun.
It’s disturbing that something so obvious to me - to wait to have sex until you’ve found “the one,” yet everyone else seems to throw it away so frivolously or even worse, out of a need for conformity and to avoid the shame of being perceived a certain way.
We just need to shift the collective mindset from one that sees virginity as awkward/inexperienced/inconvenient/belittling to one that sees preserving it as a beautiful sacrifice for one’s future spouse. This epidemic of prolonged virginity and lonliness is a symptom of the sickness caused by the electronic distractions being prioritized over hanging out with friends IRL
Seriously, growing up, I couldn’t wait to be a mall goth, but then the internet came along and everyone became a zombie and public places quickly became desolate. I honestly h8 the internet, but can’t seem to quit it.
I love you nonas too much <3
