Recently I've been thinking about my need for validation has led me down some strange paths, both positive and negative. I've always been a bit on the feminine side, but it wasn't until the past year or so that I moved out of my parents house and was finally able to express it. At the same time, I was finally learning to embrace my bisexuality and express my pent-up love for boys, which got me into writing some, uh, interesting yaoi material.

For me, I've found that I feel the most validated from people I know and trust. I was previously drawn into the lewd posting spiral, but I found that it ultimately left me feeling empty inside. It was nice to have strangers on the internet call me cute, but the wholesome people were outnumbered by the ones who only cared about using me for their own pleasure. I felt infinitely happier with myself when I would bring a potential partner home, nervously ask if I could show them my femboy side, and get a huge rush of euphoria when their eyes light up at me in my cute outfits! The feeling is practically indescribable...

Even with being in a relationship, I'm still not ready to be myself in public yet. Sometimes I still get the urge to be cute for the internet, but I've learned that there are better places for that than on lewd subreddits. Having interacted with more femboys over the past few months, I'm a little disturbed at how many of you, even those of you who are minors, are rushing headfirst into that rabbit hole. It's not worth it. I can assure you, someone somewhere will like you for who you are, and you don't need to strip down to find them. Please stay safe, fellow friends :) You are all cute and precious and valid in my eyes.
