I’m not here to fluff my ego. I want to learn other POVs to gain understanding. No Porn! Not interested, happily married. If I screw up, I will own it graciously.

I’ve made many over the years. The most important part about moving on is to learn. Failure to learn from mistakes is far worse than any embarrassment from admitting you screwed up.30 Jul 2026 15:04 +0000at://did:plc:pfzelj4ktukmahexukmrzyof/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrupl2xplk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/papayafools.bsky.social/post/3mrunrfokds2vHate is easy.
