“Masochism. Is. Agony. It’s also ecstasy. It’s also frustrating. And also exhilarating. It’s like, ‘It hurts me, yet doesn’t damage me.’ That feeling…that electric surge…then the aftermath. The bruises may go away quickly; yet sometimes it may take days to emotionally and mentally recover. It is a delicate dance between agony and ecstasy. This is one of several ways to describe the rollercoaster. When there is someone who can satisfy your masochism and also keep you balanced you can feel the freedom to safely explore and embrace it. this girl is humbled and grateful.”
