As Justin Timberlake’s character said in the movie In Time: “You can do a lot in a day”.
It’s true, you can do a lot in a day. You can do even more in a year. And we have a brand new one ahead of us. The hard part is knowing what to do with it. All too often in life we find ourselves trapped in the mundane requirements of existing: work, bills, stuff that never seems to add anything meaningful to our lives beyond day to day survival.
All too often we are suppressing the things that we really feel and want, to allow ourselves to get along. All too often one of those things is our sexuality. It is almost inevitable that sex will come last given the way our society treats it – something that is wrong, or that we should be guilty about. But it’s not.
Our sexuality is a core part of who we are. When we deny that part of ourselves we distort our personality and our lives, often in unexpected and detrimental ways.
When we explore our sexuality, enjoy it, and give it a fair share of our time and energy then we can relieve hidden pressures, feel happier, and actually be able to engage with the world more effectively in other areas of our life.
Why not make this the year that your sexuality is a priority? You can do a lot in a year. Or even in a day.

John, I love this piece of writing & can so relate to it…I have ignored my sexuality for way too long & hence as a consequence feel half alive most of the time…Enough is enough…Decided a few weeks ago that my sexuality is my number one priority in 2014.
Hi Lina,
Thank you, I am glad that this post resonated for you. And it does have to be a decision that we all make. It won’t happen if we just wait for it.
John.
So true that our “sexuality is a core part of who we are”. I’ve been denying myself way too long! My “core” is what I am working on in 2014 too! Any other ladies joining Lina and I?!!!
Hi Lisa,
I really hope that you are successful, that you find the life and experiences that you are looking for, and that you enjoy the journey along the way!
John.
