I'm glad you feel more freedom Ulysses. I thought it was fascinating to hear the depth of your reaction to your friend's photo - for it to have been so unthinkable in how you were living your life at the time.
It’s clever the way that Fabian stands out in so many ways for a variety of reasons and then it all kind of boils down to a nakedness. Reading through it is like when we grow from our family identity into the world at large and model after the ones we look up to that show us how to be even more than we were brought up to be.
I love your writing style and learning more about you with each article. It's funny when certain belief patterns we hold growing up get shattered when seeing people we admire do things differently.
This resonated a lot with me. I remember being so self conscious growing up, and only relatively recently feeling more and more comfortable in my body especially after faery space.
Ahh yes the Christian puritanism that seems to have made a devil out of the body...how did we get here? What an interesting (terrifying) global gaslighting that's been executed. How have we so convincingly sold a narrative that our own very bodies are the source of shame? Yuck! I feel like I'm covered in psychic slime. GET IT OFF ME.

Beautiful observations. It's fascinating how poetical our subconscious can be - extrapolating from openness in skin to word
