Do You Feel Guilty for Feeling Pleasure?
Allow yourself to feel pleasure — it’s pure, healthy self-love.
I have a drawer where I keep miscellaneous I rarely use — things like a satin bodysuit, a lace bra, a silky soft cami. I either received them as gifts over the years or bought them myself, in a what-the-heck-was-I-thinking moment.
Anyway, I love looking at these things. I admire elusive lingerie that is supposed to make you feel better. Yet, I somehow terribly fail at letting it make me feel better. I go ahead and tell myself — Oh, I’m not sure that suits me. I don’t know what to say; I’m not the kind of woman who wears that.
Plus, I’m a mom now. I don’t have time for that. I dress all sporty most of the time. What’s the point in wearing it anyway.
But every once in a while, when I get a moment of solitude, and I happen to bump into my drawer with beautiful things accidentally, I find myself lost in the moment of trying out one of those lingerie pieces. Or all of them (don’t tell that to anyone). It feels so damn good.
Who knew. It turns out that I am the type of woman who could wear that. If only I would choose to do it more often.
