Writing here is a bit like diary-writing. It’s more reflexive than posting stuff in a blog, because you never know if anyone reads your thoughts. I’ll pour them out anyways:

There’s one image I made that really grew dear to me, but it just got one tiny single like. And I wonder why so. This photo is definitely not meant to be sexy or erotic, even if it is obviously revealing. I’ll tell you what I like about it.
