I'm not sure what the point of this was ...

Wed Jan 21, 2009, 11:03 PM
The other day, while walking down the road, I was told by a middle aged man - a friend of a friend - that the body is sacred, and I should not display myself as I do. Well my body is my own. I don't see it as sacred, I see it as a carrier of the spirit. The spirit is the most important thing. I'm unsure if I am somehow destroying mine by putting my body on show like this. Am I giving away more of myself than I should?

What am I doing? Why am I on here? What is it that attracts me to taking naked pictures of myself? I enjoy this, but why do I feel enjoyment when I see that I've gotten more views on a picture? And why do I feel guilty every time I upload a picture onto here?

Maybe I am destroying myself by putting nude photos for everyone to see, but I also feel as though I am opening up - like I have nothing to hide. I've received comments saying that I should show my face - but I won't. I won't because I can hide behind a computer screen but still be on display. Maybe I will eventually show my face, but my identity is an important part of my being, and I'm not ready to give that away so freely.
