Uncut and Proud!

*This blog post is considered informal, where parts are written as free writing practices, along with adding some research to back up the free write.   Content warming : This blog contains topics people might find uncomfortable from reading* I am uncircumcised!  You read that right.  Let me explain why I am writing on this.  I have a fear of telling people that I have a foreskin due to risk of being made fun of, or worse, people find me disgusting because of something I have that is fully natural.  Honestly, being made fun of something like this can cause some emotions.  What causes this fear?  Just being around people and hearing them talk about how people with foreskins are disgusting and terrible.  In the dating/relationship world, I find it tough because many girls wont go near a guy if they say they are intact, which I find very ridiculous.  Now you might be asking why am I bringing this up now?  Because there ...

Coming Out

Growing up was not always easy for me.  Throughout my childhood, I experienced multiple periods of bullying by different individuals.  These periods of time imprinted emotional scars that continue to influence my actions today.  Overcoming these scars have proved to be one of the most challenging personal battles I have ever faced.  My experiences with bullying peaked in late middle school to early high school; a time when many are discovering more of who they are.  To avoid providing more fuel to the fire, I tucked away certain thoughts, feelings, actions, and more deep inside.  Parts of who I am turned into a secret, in which was kept hidden from everyone (except for one person).  Words can never express the amount of emotional stress that followed to keeping a secret like this.  I went through many episodes of confusion, anger, sadness, loneliness, and hopelessness.  These episodes lasted all the way to college.  For help, I turned t...
