I’m so habituated to hearing my inner critic in the run up to sex, and trying to deal with his bullshit, that I’ve forgotten its not actually me, and now I’m trying to imagine how I would actually be in sex if my inner critic fucked off for a bit and let me get down to business

It made me think deeper
