It’s hard to accept yourself as someone you don’t desire / As someone you don’t want to be.

Age is relative. Experience is relative. And I think often intensity is confused with maturity.

The female psyche is inherently self-sufficient, because female sexuality is inherently self-sufficient. I think women are maybe more comfortable, or women are able to find physical beauty in each other that doesn't terrify them.
