#So far I've not had any pushback or greed or meanness

[writingforfishes]

so random ! but i have seen a bunch of ppl come and go in the hiccup community here on tumblr, sometimes bc of lack of interactions since the community here is so small :,( but if u ever feel discouraged do not worry ! there are definitely plenty of us who love ur writings but are just a bit embarrassed to interact publicly 😅 thank u for supplying the small community here with amazing content !

Thank you so much for the encouragement.

I am definitely aware of the people who have come and gone.

I also know that having a kink can be nonlinear. There can be long times in life where the kink sort of fades out in its arousal pattern. I can imagine that, plus the interaction not being encouraging, might create less of a consistency in people who are active in the tumblr hiccups kink community.

In addition, a lot of writers are writing other things as well.

But I started this blog not to gain a following but as a bit of a selfish act to get the thoughts in my head out and gain perspective on this part of myself and gain acceptance. As long as this blog remains ultimately my safe haven of self-acceptance and exploration, I think I can make it last.

These sorts of interactions (even anonymously) are additional motivators.

I hope that eventually more people will have confidence to step out of anonymous and make little sock accounts with altered gmail addresses. But even if that never happens, I'll try to remain present and active to validate those who feel awkward and creepy for having this kink.

Our kink is never going to be normal or mainstream.

There are always going to be people who present our kink with selfish and gross intent. That's true with all kinks, though.

As long as we are responsible, conscious, and always requiring of consent before we interact and do so in a kind and respectful manner, we can feel good about having this kink.
