Describing a friend's sexual activity in general is so funny

"What's up with you?"

"Not much, BUT"

Another big one

Applying the animation principle of keyframing to a form or manoeuver you're learning

Study and pick keyframes and visualise the onionskin
You want your body to find that frame and you want it to have the same entry and exit vectors

I've got pretty great balance but I'm always trying some shit that will borderline make me fall to maximise my automatic plan B response

Nothing is more dangerous than the hit you don't expect

Some skill development principles I've been thinking about:

Experience conditioning - putting yourself in many difficult situations so you have to improvise to avoid failure, to prepare for the moments you won't be ready for

Here's the fit
The gaiters are an experiment in my constant quest to have perfect comfort and security
Went with hook and loop so I could wear them with roller skates (not the usual uh WW2 reenactment scenario)
They're surprisingly a bit loose but with shin guards we should be gravy

Skating selfie in a top I cropped with an open button up, outside by a bench

Came downstairs this morning to find bird dressed with a resistance band lol

Also def scared the shit out of my girlfriend leaving him in the hallway last night

Translucent, blue, inflatable dog pool toy with handles on its neck
It's named bird and has a leather-coloured resistance band wrapped around his chest like a BDSM harness

I'm sorry. That's so hard if you don't know what changed. I don't want to keep assuming too much I just don't want to see you blame yourself and give up. Whether it was something you did or not. You just have to find a way to move forward being the person you want to be, even if it's out.

There's nothing stopping you from taking some initiative to treat this person with care and love in ways that are respectful of any new boundaries.
You'll need to learn to treat yourself with love and respect anyway. Things have changed but this person isn't a write-off. You aren't.

You continue to inspect bird the dog
You appear confused but you aren't, really
Your mind is quiet; content; peaceful
You stare without self-consciousness
It's nice that you don't have to talk to understand each other
Bird knows the depth in your vacancy just by looking closely
It knows where your eyes are even without seeing them

No eyes, no facial features at all, but you can tell where the eyes are, where they should be...
