Getting it in 🕯️🍆

Interesting perspectives on sex travel and how sex inspires a large part of the culture of travel. People travel to have types of sex they cant get at home. Yum

Jerusalem sounds like shit

“Venice’s Greater Council decreed in 1360 that prostitutes were ‘absolutely necessary in this town’” [brothel licensing]

So fucking good.

Waiting on Francis to get another smooch in.

The gods gave ye a brain, if you want to honor them, use it.

Ancient dormant magic beneath an unnamed forest, the fabric of which is being tampered with by forces unknown some distance away.

Sounds like the Floridan Aquifer being disturbed by mining and city development, causing far reaching subtle disruption in the subsurface.

Vanyel got hoes apparently and so does Yfandes lolol horse girl moment.

Mercedes you have done it again. I love you.

It is pretty fucked how Billy casually enters and exits their (Heather and kids) lives. "With the ease of someone who never has their steps questioned."

These damn Christmas cards...
"I secretly wished I could've Photoshopped Billy, not only into our christmas card photos but into my life. I didn't want the current version of who he was, it was too difficult, too incompatible, too dismissive, but I wanted to stay married and I wanted to grow old with the father of my children."

"It's really difficult when you've lived your whole life trying to fit into an idea of who you are supposed to be even when that idea rejects the best parts of who you are. It's ok to walk away from beliefs that no longer serve you. It takes a long time to retrain your brain,.."

Bad Missionary and Bad Wife tell of Heathers life after graduation from BYU and finding her footing as a young adult, devoting her life to faith and following the guideline. In trying to uphold Mormon standards, she struggles with her ambitions and successes and so does her husband with his.

Just finished P1. Bad Daughter. This initial section jumps around her life as a young person from childhood to college graduation. Heather was raised as a wealthy mormon in CO and UT. Her upbringing reminds me of my own within the Assembly of God religious subculture. Tight knit, understood values, the pressures of eternity, is both beneficial and harmful. Entire realms of life are constructed around mormon belief.
