I’m Attracted to Men

I'm not unique.

Men who've experienced similar and much worse are all around us, sometimes even hidden behind the faces of those we'd consider the least. What bothers me the most about this latest psychological breakthrough is realizing how stupid I've been in the past, particularly towards those who sat broken before me.

I once looked down on them, perceiving them as worthless and undeserving of a helping hand. But it's so easy to become your own worst enemy, even when there isn't a single part of you that sincerely wants to be. Hurting yourself, or arguably worse, ignoring pain that takes its time to devour your mind, simply becomes the norm, but that normality consistently threatens your life, and if left unchecked, eventually the lives of others, creating a vicious cycle of pain and punishment that dooms us all.

If you've suffered and are still suffering, the only thing I can tell you is that the past can't be changed. The darkness of your memories is a permanent scar upon your psyche. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU CANNOT BE UNDONE. What you must do is let go of anger. Let it go. Anger towards others, and especially towards yourself. Because the anger turns into disgust, which turns into resentment, which morphs into self-loathing. Nothing good comes from anger. And most importantly, it never leads to peace. Never. Anger only destroys. You must let it go.

Unfortunately, I can't tell you how long it'll take for you to do so. But it's definitely a choice. You can choose to continue hurting yourself, or you can choose to say no. You can choose to start changing. And it's never too late to do it.
