I’m burnt out. It’s been a long time coming. Once I realized I was starting to burn out I tried to make changes to better my mental health, but by then it was too late. Over these past two years, being off work from a traditional job, I dedicated my time to the MAP community.
I’m always thinking about Lucy. Even three years after last seeing her. Yesterday, I imagined what if I seen her out at a store? What would she say? What would she do? Did her parents feed her society’s narrative that I’m a monster, and change her opinion of me? Would she avoid me. Would she
When I was a child, my career goal was to be “on TV.” I wanted to be famous, wanted to be a celebrity. Celebrities have it all, live a cool lifestyle, and their voice reaches a wide audience. But I never thought of the downsides of being famous. The constant attention, the scrutiny, the stalkers
This was part of a conversation I had with a fellow MAP on May 24, 2023. So to be an out MAP, ideally, a lot of things have to line up. You have to make sure you’re safe – safe from vigilante violence, safe in your relationships, and safe in your financial wellbeing. For me,

I had the pleasure of meeting a fellow MAP through video chat yesterday. This person is someone I’ve talked with for a few years online. I’ve always gotten good vibes from them, and we’ve become rather close recently. It was a fun chat and it was cool to be able to put a face to
Re: Coming out to someone. I know often when we first come to the realization that we’re MAPs, we want to come out to the world and get it off of our chest. I know several MAPs who have felt that way, myself included. I made the mistake of coming out to everyone I knew
I learned a new term today. Korephilia is often described as the female equivalent to pederasty – women who love girls, and often have maternal/romantic feelings for them. I guess that describes me. It’s a badge I’ll wear proudly. And thus I’ve created a symbol for it. It takes inspiration from the GLogo. I call
Are you more romantically or sexually attracted to children? 95% Maternal/Romantic, 5% Sexual for me. Being a grey asexual, I’m just not all that into sex.
