Taking My First Step Toward Connection at 32

Just last night, I flew out to Nevada and finally lost my virginity—something I never thought I’d say at 32. It’s bittersweet that it took this long and that I had to pay for it, but at least I did it. The first escort turned me away for being a virgin, so I lied to the second. Now, I’m hoping this means I’m ready to try dating again. I’m still the guy who’s faced rejection after rejection, banned from bars, and reported more times than I can count. One night didn’t magically change that, and I still dream of having a family one day. Being alone for so long has weighed on my heart and mind. If anyone has advice or encouragement, I’d love to hear it. Have you ever felt like this? Drop your thoughts below. 🙏 #healingjourney #spiritualgrowth #selfacceptance #Spirituality
