It's OK To Be In Touch With Your Sexuality

"I've been told that my body is a temple, and I believe that's true."

It's OK To Be In Touch With Your Sexuality
Nicole O'Connor

Let's take a minute to talk. Just us girls and women of all ages. Let's take a moment to ourselves to appreciate ourselves, our beauty and our minds.

Let's talk about the forbidden sexuality and how a lot of us were raised to believe being in touch with it takes away our innocence.

I have explored myself in multitudes, and I believe I have only scratched the surface of the woman I was born to be.

I love being a woman. I love the way I feel when I'm in a tight fitting dress. I feel strong and unstoppable. Fierce, even. When wearing heals, I love to watch my body stretch like the Empire State Building.

I may wallow in insecurities at times, but my glimpses of confidence can overpower me to the point where I'm left feeling like so much more than I feel anyone could ever understand.

I've been told that my body is a temple, and I believe that's true. I live a self-respecting life, demanding that same respect from any man that waltzes into my life. My standards are high, and that's how I manage to take care of my temple while also being in touch with my sexuality.

I have high standards because I crave a deeper connection. I crave a desire to want someone based on moments and feelings. I crave those moments with someone who can explore my sexuality while also respecting the temple I've built within myself.

I've been told to dress nice, but not too nice, because I may catch the eye of another woman's husband.

I've been told to dim myself down because men and women may not be able to handle what I have to offer.

What I have to offer is in my mind. It's in my thoughts, feelings, and the way I love as hard as I do. It's how I view the world and what I want to do in it.

Anyone who is offended by your sexuality is no one to be concerned with.

Our body is a world wonder to those that care to see the beauty in us. We are allowed to love ourselves in any way we choose to do so. We are allowed to let others explore those parts of us, also.

We are allowed to take pride in our bodies and represent that pride in any way we chose to without being shamed for it.

If you're lucky enough to dive head first into my galaxy, my body will become more than just a body. It will be a world wonder that only someone who sees those things in me could ever understand.

Sexuality isn't nasty. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It isn't even always sex. Although, sometimes it is.

It's overlooked because we are told our sexuality robs us of our innocence. But I believe it keeps our innocence.

There is nothing more pure and natural than allowing yourself to physically show all the things you feel inside. And there's nothing more empowering than someone who can find that place within themselves.

So be strong for yourself. Explore your mind. And don't ever let anyone make you feel like you are any less than what you truly are.

Don't let anyone make you feel it's wrong to feel good in your own skin or even connect with another person on a physical level.

I believe the key to a happy life is how you feel about yourself. Allow yourself to be intimate, passionate, and vulnerable. Once you do, you will realize how freeing being in touch with your sexuality really is.

Embrace the way your body was made. People admire beaches, flowers, and mountains because nature is beautiful.

Think of your body the same way.

Our sexuality is a state of mind. It doesn't matter if you choose to wear a form fitting skirt or a burlap sack. What you have to offer and whats within you is what makes you sexy, strong, and irresistible to those that are lucky enough to explore it.

We are natural, raw, and powerful.

That 'little black dress' can represent that.

Put that dress on, do your hair how you like it, and embrace it.

Live your entire life like you are wearing a little black dress or whatever makes you feel best about yourself.

That confidence boost you get when looking your best should never go away, because you should let yourself feel your best.

Let yourself feel sexy.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
