You know how it goes, if you are a sub, especially on the femme side, on the internet.
A dude will message with "hey," "hi," "sup," etc. Nothing about who they are or why they messaged, nothing about what brought them to your inbox.
Nothing to work with, really.
And then they ask "how are you doing?"
My guess is that most of them want to hear something along the lines of "oh, I am so horny and needy for stranger on the internet!"
Unfortunately, I have fallen into the habit of answering that question honestly.
How am I doing? I'm swirling in an abyss of despair. I am filled with existential dread. I am watching callousnwss, bigotry, xenophobia, and cruelty being heralded as great virtues. I am seeing empathy and compassion condemned as moral failings.
I am watching with horror as my country disintegrates, as human rights fviilations pile up, and rule of law alongside temge constitution itself being cast aside with ludicrous excuses.
I cannot even voice my distress in my own home.
I barely sleep, and nightmares plague me when I do. I try to focus on things that give me joy but I can't ignore the world burning around me. The feelings of betrayal. The heartbreak.
That's how I'm doing, my guys.
How about you?
